There are several key areas that must be taken into consideration in a comprehensive
Animal proofing plan. To Animal-Proof Your Home We Suggest You Consider the Following Areas.
Roof Vents Constructed of light weight aluminum or plastic, they are no obstacle for animals
seeking entry into attics. Chimneys If not screened properly, they make suitable living quarters
for raccoons and squirrels. Birds often fall into open chimneys and become stuck at the bottom.
Sometimes these animals even enter the "living space" of the home. Plumbing Vent Pipes If left
unprotected, they are an invitation to animals seeking den sites inside of the house. Once inside the pipe,
wildlife often become stuck and obstruct the normal function of the buildings plumbing system.
Stove & Bathroom Exhaust Vents If unsecured, they make ideal nesting sites for birds and
sometimes squirrels. This results in noticeable sounds, odors and insects. Roof and Fascia
Spaces If not properly constructed or due to deterioration, they offer an opportunity for wildlife to
chew on the free edge of the wood and gain entry into the attic. Roof - Soffit Intersection If left
unscreened, they can be easily manipulated by an animal from the outside in order to establish
a den site inside the attic space. Please consult a Wilderness Animal Control Service Professional
for a permanent humane solution to your wildlife problem.
