Outside Maintenance - The Yard Will Help Prevent Wildlife Problems In Your Home
:

We Recommend Regular trimming of ornamental s,shrubbery and grass. No vegetation should ever touch your home.

Keep The Food Indoors: Never feed your animals outside and if you do make sure the food is never left unattended . If you make a habit of it it won't be long and you've attracted unwanted wildlife. One of the first may be rats, followed by their predators, snakes, raptors or other mammals.

The Truth About Birdseed: Bird seed is a major wildlife attractor. It's not just birds that feed from those feeders! Bird seed that has fallen is a major attractant for squirrels, raccoons, opossums, and Not only do you attract these vermin you may also attract predators like coyote, fox, and bobcat in your yards.

If You Entertain Outside Please Read This: Pick up all scraps and leftovers after a party on the deck or a barbecue on the porch. You just don't leave any food out for wildlife. Important, that you empty the grease trap from the bottom of the gas grill. Raccoons are attracted to this grease, they can smell it from very long distances!

Keep and cover all your trash in garbage cans with tight fitting lids.

Always close your garage door at night and keep it closed when not in use during the day. This simple step could save a lot of time and stress by stopping curious animals from sneaking in after dark or when you are not around. Most situations involving an animal on a roof means chances are that it's not just passing through the area and decided to see what's up there. Look for signs of animal entry points.

Areas under sheds, decks, and patios make perfect shelters for nuisance animals. You would be surprised at the damage rabbits, raccoons , foxes and other rodents can do if given the time to conquer and claim your property.
