When it gets cold in Indiana, animals such as raccoons, squirrels, bats, and mice look for warm places to hide from the cold. They may potentially think your house is the perfect spot to stay warm. This can be poor because the animals might ruin parts of your house, make you sick from germs in their poop, and make you untidy. You might even hear them making noises such as scratching and squeaking, and that can be very bothersome when you’re trying to be quiet and relax.
But you can truly take action to stop these animals from getting into your house.
Common Entry Points for Wildlife in Your Home
Consider carefully about the usual places they sneak in:
- Chimneys: Birds and raccoons can slide down chimneys if there aren’t good covers on top.
- Attic Vents: Vents in the attic are important for air but birds and bats might come in if there aren’t screens. – Tiny animals, even as small as rats and mice, can wiggle through cracks very, very small, about the same size as a coin.
- Holes and Spaces: They can climb very well and get into your attic through holes or spaces in the roof parts.
- Windows: If you have old stripping around your doors and windows, these critters can get through
- Basements: Take note about the gaps near your basement!
