-- From the Washington Post to the Penn State News, stories of winter animal invasions show the element of surprise that makes these off-season visitations news. Not every wildlife removal expert has clients with raccoons dropping through the ceiling, but cold months can be quite busy for them with winter wildlife removal, notes Kenny Rand of BEDR Wildlife Removal.
Winter warm spells can cause unpredictable behavior in wildlife, which may stir in nests already claimed in homes. They may also become active outdoors and exploit holes in a residence left unrepaired until spring.
Wildlife that is normally dormant in the winter can become active and invade human spaces, especially during a midwinter warm spell. They also may have already claimed a den in the home, only to become active when they sense warmer weather. Homeowners might discount the sounds and smells of wildlife in their attic or crawlspace because of the time of year, but this is why year-round monitoring of residential and commercial properties is necessary.
Skunks, bats, raccoons and other wildlife that become dormant in the winter respond to changes in temperature without regard to the time of year. They assume it’s time to start activities such as finding a nesting space. In some cases, they have already been drawn by attractive spaces that provide warmth, and the addition of warmer weather causes them to dig in with destructive results.
While attic animal hibernation is uncommon, animals often become dormant in claimed indoor spaces. While homeowners are leaving home inspection and repair to the spring, the creatures have additional time before they are discovered to cause havoc, destroy ceilings and, in some cases, a breakthrough into the humans' living space.
