Critter Control Triangle

Did you know? Squirrels only need a gap as small as 1.5 inches to sneak into your home! 🏠

The most common entry points they use include:
✅ Chimneys
✅ Soffits
✅ Fascia boards
✅ Roof returns
✅ Roof Ridge vents
✅ Gable vents

Don’t let them move in. Keeping these areas sealed can help protect your home!

🐿️ Squirrels can find their way into attics… and that’s no April Fools’ joke!

Common entry points include soffits, gable vents, fascia boards, roof ridge vents, roof returns, and chimneys. Once inside, they can cause serious damage by gnawing through wires, disturbing insulation, and creating other issues that may lead to costly repairs.

The good news? You don’t have to handle it alone. We’re here to help with prevention solutions you can trust every step of the way.

🦝 Spring is here and so are raccoon kits! During this time of year, raccoons give birth to litters of 2–5 kits, often in hidden areas of homes and businesses.

While they may look like smaller versions of adults, they remain dependent on their mothers for nearly a year!

Common spots include:
✔️ Attics
✔️ Chimneys
✔️ Crawl spaces
✔️ Wall voids
✔️ Under decks and porches

Although raccoon kits may look small and harmless, you should never try to handle them yourself. They can still bite and scratch if they feel threatened.
