Louisiana's subtropical climate supports a wide variety of wildlife that remains active throughout much of the year. Warm, humid summers can drive animals like raccoons and squirrels to seek cooler refuge inside homes, while mild winters may not deter rodent activity. The housing stock in areas like Baton Rouge and Shreveport often includes older homes with more potential entry points, alongside newer constructions. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries has regulations regarding the trapping and removal of certain species. When seeking assistance, look for providers experienced with Louisiana's specific wildlife and compliant with state laws.
