Signs of an Animal Infestation in Your Home

Have you ever woken up to the eerie sound of scratching within your walls, or noticed bite marks on food packaging? These could be telltale signs that your home has become a sanctuary for unwanted guests – wildlife animals. They’re a health risk with the diseases they spread – and they can cause long-term structural damage to your home with their habit of chewing wires and wood.

It can be tempting to resort to setting traps or using chemicals themselves in an attempt to solve the issue – but these methods can often be dangerous, ineffective, and inhumane. Professional services, like the ones we offer at Bug Out, approach wildlife control with effective, humane strategies that focus on removing the animals safely and preventing future infestations.

Wildlife Infestation Signs

A wildlife infestation can lead to significant repair bills and can drastically decrease your property’s value. So look out for:

  • Unusual noises, especially at night
  • Visible damage to the exterior of your home (holes, marks)
  • Droppings or urine stains in or around your property
  • Nesting materials or burrow marks in insulation or garden areas
  • Unexplained messes, such as overturned garbage bins or torn-up lawns

How Do You Get Wildlife Out of Your House?

Getting wildlife out of your house successfully means identifying the type of pest you’re dealing with, understanding their habits, and then applying humane, effective removal techniques. But keep in mind that many DIY methods fall short, and there’s the health and safety risk of handling potentially dangerous animals.

Call wildlife experts, like us at Bug Out, to conduct a comprehensive assessment, seal potential entry points, employ environmentally responsible removal techniques, and offer guidance on keeping wildlife off your North Carolina property.
