Baby Season is Here — What That Means for Your Attic

Why Animals Love Your Attic

Your attic provides the perfect nursery: it’s warm, dry, safe from predators, and has plenty of insulation to make a cozy nest. Female raccoons, squirrels, and even opossums look for secluded, undisturbed places to give birth and care for their babies. Once they’ve moved in, they’re not in a rush to leave.

Unfortunately, that “nest” often becomes a source of damage. Wildlife moms tear apart insulation, chew wires, and contaminate your attic with urine and feces — and baby animals quickly grow into noisy, destructive tenants.

Why Timing Matters

Removing a mother animal without checking for babies can lead to disaster. Not only is it inhumane — it can also result in dead animals trapped in your attic, which brings serious odor, sanitation, and insect problems.

That’s why our team always performs a thorough inspection before removal. If babies are present, we humanely retrieve them, reunite them with their mother, and relocate the entire family to a wildlife sanctuary where they can thrive.

What Homeowners Should Watch For

Here are the signs that wildlife might be nesting in your attic:

• Scratching or thumping noises, especially at night
• Unusual odors or sudden pest activity
• Visible damage near rooflines, vents, or soffits
• Animals seen entering or exiting your roof area

If you notice any of these, call us immediately. Waiting can lead to higher repair costs and bigger problems down the road.
