Montana's harsh winters and shorter summers create distinct periods for wildlife activity. During colder months, animals like mice, rats, and squirrels are driven by the need for warmth and food, often seeking entry into homes, garages, and outbuildings. This period requires diligent inspection of potential entry points. As the weather warms, larger animals such as raccoons and skunks become more active, foraging and establishing dens. The mountainous terrain and vast open spaces mean wildlife is a constant presence, and understanding their seasonal movements is critical for effective control.
