In Missouri, from Columbia to its surrounding areas, wildlife activity is driven by distinct seasons. Spring and summer bring increased breeding and foraging, leading to more encounters with homeowners. Our services address these seasonal pressures.
Missouri's climate presents a cycle of wildlife activity. Spring and summer are prime times for raccoons, squirrels, and opossums to become active, often seeking entry into attics, chimneys, and crawl spaces to nest or forage. The state's diverse habitats, from urban centers to rural farmlands, mean a variety of species can be present. Fall sees animals preparing for winter, increasing their search for food and shelter, which can lead them into homes. Winter, while less active, still sees rodents and other small mammals seeking refuge from the cold.

Missouri commonly hosts animals such as raccoons, squirrels, opossums, bats, and skunks. These creatures often seek shelter or food sources within residential properties, especially during transitional weather periods or breeding seasons.
