Common Wildlife Entry Points Around Homes
The roofline, vents, chimneys, crawl spaces, decks, and foundation edges that commonly let nuisance wildlife into homes.
Most nuisance wildlife jobs end with the same question: how did it get in? These are the areas to mention during a quote call.
Roof returns and soffits
Small gaps at roof intersections, fascia, and soffits can be enough for squirrels, bats, birds, or raccoons.
Vents and chimneys
Gable vents, dryer vents, bathroom vents, and uncapped chimneys are common access points.
Crawl spaces and decks
Skunks, opossums, groundhogs, and other animals use sheltered areas under structures for denning.
Foundation edges
Burrows near slabs, patios, steps, and retaining walls can create recurring lawn or structural concerns.
