7 Wildlife Animals That Invade Your Home During The Summer

June 5, 2023 by Spartan Animal & Pest Control

bats hanging in attic width=Animals may search for shade and cool areas during the summer. Also, the late spring and summer are popular times for wildlife animals to reproduce, so they will look for a nice area to build a home or nest.

In this review, we closely examine the various types of wild animals known to invade homes during the summer.

What Types of Wildlife Animals Invade Homes During The Summer?

There are a variety of wildlife animal types that you may find in and around your home during the summer months. Some of the most common animals (and pests) include bats, birds, squirrels, mice and rats, possums, and skunks. Below is a closer look at each animal type and what you can expect during removal if they invade your home.

Bats

Bats are notorious for creating a home out of attic spaces during the winter. Moreover, they can form colonies inside your attic and other dark areas of your home. If unresolved, the problem will only worsen as more bats arrive. Bats are also carriers of several harmful diseases, including histoplasmosis and rabies.

For these reasons, you should call a wildlife removal specialist if you detect any bat noises or see bats flying in and out of your home. Humane and safe bat colony removal is necessary, along with cleanup services, to ensure no guano is left behind. The removal specialist should also help prevent more bats from invading your home. For instance, this may involve removing and replacing damaged or missing insulation.

Birds

Birds can spread diseases such as cryptococcosis and histoplasmosis. They often make a home from storage areas, attics, chimneys, and porches. This is especially the case during the spring and summer when they may give birth.

If you find a bird nest in or around your home, then it is important to call a wildlife removal specialist. This helps protect the birds and their babies from any harm. Similar to bats, bird removal should include cleaning up any droppings they leave behind and repairing any damage they may have caused.

Squirrels

Squirrels will not physically harm you if you do not directly approach them. However, they are potential carriers of lyme disease, tularemia, leptospirosis, and rabies. Stay away from them and do not try to remove them yourself. Instead, call a wildlife removal specialist if any squirrels appear in or around your home this summer.

Mice and Rats

Mice, rats, and other rodents often infiltrate all home areas, from the crawl space and attic to the kitchen and living room areas. They are notorious for chewing through wires, leaving behind droppings, and going through your food cabinets for their next meal.

This poses a significant health risk for everyone in your family and domestic pets. The removal method for mice and rats may look different than it does for wildlife animals. However, trapping and removal remains a viable solution.

Possums

Possums are solitary creatures. In fact, having possums around your home can offer great benefits as they eat many bugs, spiders, and other insects daily. However, you do not want possums in any part of your home as they may chew and make disturbing noises.

The good news is there are effective, safe, and humane removal strategies for possums that invade your home during the summer months. Although, a removal specialist is most often necessary to ensure the possum is removed safely and without harm.

Raccoons

Raccoons also carry diseases. Additionally, they can become dangerous if you attempt to remove them. It may also be illegal to trap and remove a raccoon in or around your home depending on where you live. For this reason, you should always call a wildlife removal specialist if a raccoon causes a safety concern or nuisance on your property.

Skunks

There are also laws that protect skunks, and you must ensure they are removed safelyĀ and humanely if found in or around your home during the summer.

Wildlife removal specialists are skilled and can remove skunks without spraying in many cases. If spraying does occur, they should provide cleanup and odor elimination services.

Very professional I called for an appointment he was here the next day with everything needed. He understood how petrified I was over the rodent issue we were hearing in our walls. He was able to find and close up any possible outside entrances and placed outside poison and baits inside with more poison. He came 3 more times for check up and addressed my concerns and knock on wood he was right nothing has returned since. His work and prices are so worth it.

I Called Corey Tuesday evening and he was here at 9:30 the next morning for a wasp problem in and out of our home. This is our second time using him as the first time was for a mice issue and after his visit, we have been mice free for well over a year now. His knowledge of these critters is amazing, knowing their detailed habits. Wishing I could give a rating over 5 Stars. Look no further for any time if removal of extermination - you will find no better person for the job.

I had a wasp nest somewhere below my deck, bothering the family in the swimming pool. No way I was attempting to find the nest myself without a bee suit and flamethrower, so I called Corey at Spartan. He went under there armed with only a flashlight, found the nest and took care of it! Not only was he prompt, fast, efficient and effective, but the guy had guts of steel. Hoping to never encounter any more killer bees, rabid raccoons, attacking ants, or any other predators, but if I do, I’m glad I know I got Corey on my side!

We had a squirrel running around the attic and walls of our new home. After calling a few pest control places in the area, we decided on Spartan Pest Control as they had the most reasonable price, and fast friendly customer service. The owner is extremely personable, polite, and thorough. He uses humane traps, and guarantees his work for 3 years. I would definitely use them again!

I cannot recommend Spartan Animal and Pest Control high enough. Cory, the owner, was very professional, articulate and extremely knowledgeable. He did a superb job. Spartan also installs chimney caps and I had my chimneys capped as well. I hope I never have a pest problem again but if I do I will call Spartan without hesitation.
