Indiana, with metros like Fishers, experiences distinct seasons that influence wildlife activity.

Indiana's climate, characterized by hot, humid summers and cold winters, dictates when and why animals seek shelter in homes. Spring brings new litters, increasing the chances of nuisance wildlife like raccoons, squirrels, and bats entering attics or crawl spaces. Summer's heat can drive rodents and insects indoors. As temperatures drop in fall and winter, animals search for warmth and protection, often finding it within building structures. Understanding this seasonal pattern is key to effective wildlife management in Indiana.
Common questions
Is there a fee for calling Animal Control Experts?
There is no fee to call and discuss your wildlife situation. We provide a free phone quote to assess the problem. Our team will explain the necessary steps for removal and exclusion based on your specific Indiana property.
What is the 3-3-3 rule for animals?
The 3-3-3 rule is a guideline for newly adopted pets, not wildlife. It suggests three days to decompress, three weeks to learn routines, and three months to feel at home. This doesn't apply to wild animals encountered in your Fishers home.
Who to call to pick up stray cats?
For stray cats in Indiana, contact your local animal shelter or humane society first. While our focus is on nuisance wildlife removal from structures, they are equipped to handle stray domestic animal intake and rehoming.
