Signs of Activity

Spot the signs. Stop the damage.

Wildlife rarely arrives quietly. These are the things our clients spot first — the early evidence that a structure has been breached or a den established nearby.

  • Interior attic view showing wooden beams and daylight visible through an exterior gap.

    Daylight inside the attic

    Light visible from inside the attic during the day is a confirmed exterior entry point — and an active route for bats, squirrels, and raccoons.

  • Disturbed soil and chewed siding at the base of a red clapboard house.

    Excavation at the foundation

    Disturbed soil and chewed siding along the foundation line — typical of skunks, rodents, or other burrowing wildlife exploiting an existing gap.

  • Round burrow opening in grass and roots.

    Burrow openings on the property

    Round openings three to eight inches across — usually at the edge of lawns, foundations, or stone walls — indicate active groundhog, skunk, or fox dens.

  • Broken white lattice skirting beneath a deck with stones visible behind.

    Chewed lattice or skirting

    Bite marks or broken slats in lattice and deck skirting signal animals have forced an entry beneath the structure.

  • Cracked and peeling white clapboard siding at the foundation line.

    Separated siding at grade

    Cracked or peeling boards at the foundation create gaps just large enough for mice, rats, and small mammals to slip through.

  • Trampled mulch and leaves beside a deck with white lattice skirting.

    Disturbed mulch beneath decking

    Trampled or freshly turned mulch around deck skirting often signals an active den or repeated entry from underneath.
