Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control

Cooler temperatures are arriving, and mouse season is heating up 🐭🍂

As the weather changes, mice begin searching for warm, protected places to shelter. Small gaps around foundations, siding, utility lines and garage doors can provide the access they need to get inside.

Traps may remove individual mice, but they don’t close the openings allowing more to enter. Skedaddle identifies those hidden entry points, removes the mice humanely and protects vulnerable areas against future activity.

Hearing scratching in the walls or finding droppings? Contact Skedaddle before a small mouse problem has time to grow.

Don’t let those little faces fool you. These young squirrels can cause more damage than homeowners might expect! 🐿️

Squirrels remain active throughout the fall and winter, searching for food and protected places to shelter. If they find access to an attic, they may chew wood, insulation and wiring or enlarge existing gaps to make moving in easier.

Because they won’t simply disappear when winter arrives, it’s important to address squirrel activity early. Contact Skedaddle for a humane removal and prevention plan.

Feeding squirrels in your backyard may seem harmless, but it can encourage them to spend more time close to your home.🐿️

When squirrels begin associating your property with an easy food source, nearby rooflines, attics and other sheltered spaces can become even more appealing. Learn how feeding squirrels can influence their behaviour around your home.https://loom.ly/H3B4fdE
