Why and How Wildlife Animals Invade Homes

Animals seek refuge in homes for various reasons, one of the most compelling being the pursuit of a warm and secure shelter. As the colder months approach, wildlife creatures instinctively search for cozy, temperature-controlled spaces to escape the harsh outdoor conditions. The warmth and comfort offered by human homes make them an attractive alternative. 

Animals sometimes resort to breaking into homes because the shelter provided by human-made structures offers superior protection compared to what they can construct in the wild. In nature, animals, particularly those not adapted to harsh conditions, rely on natural shelters such as dens, burrows, or nests, to safeguard themselves from the elements and predators. However, these shelters can be vulnerable, especially in extreme weather or when under threat from larger predators.

Here are some ways these creatures make it in:

  • Digging Under Your Home: Animals dig under your home primarily for shelter and safety. Burrows under homes provide protection from predators, extreme weather conditions and a stable environment. 
  • Small Opening in Your Homes Structure: Animals can make their way into your home through small openings, such as dryer vents or chimneys. Birds, squirrels, racoons and even bats take advantage of these small openings to gain access into your home.
  • Animals Making Holes in Crawl Space or Roof: Animals can also take matters into their own hands when it comes to making their way into your home- literally. There is evidence that racoons have torn holes in roofing or crawlspaces to make their way into your home. To ensure that no animals make their way into your living quarters, or to rid the animals who already are, trust in McCoy Wildlife Services to remove and prevent your home from animal intruders!
