As the leaves change color and a crisp breeze fills the air, one thing’s for sure: winter is on its way to Marietta, GA. While cozy nights by the fireplace sound appealing, this seasonal shift also brings a challenge for homeowners – unwanted wildlife guests.
Marietta’s Milder Winter: A Double-Edged Sword
While Marietta experiences milder winters compared to northern states, it’s still enough to drive critters seeking warmth and shelter indoors. This year, forecasts predict:
- Cooler than average temperatures: Even a slight dip in temperature can be enough to entice animals like raccoons, opossums, and squirrels to find a cozy haven in your attic or crawl space.
- Occasional rain and snow: Periods of wet weather can further encourage wildlife to seek refuge inside your dry, comfortable home.
Why Wildlife Chooses Your Home
Beyond the drop in temperature, several factors can attract wildlife to your property:
- Easy access: Openings around vents, chimneys, or utility lines can be entry points for determined animals.
- Food sources: Bird feeders, overflowing trash cans, or easily accessible gardens can act as a buffet for wildlife.
- Nesting opportunities: Attics, crawl spaces, and garages can provide the perfect haven for raising young.
The Importance of Wildlife Exclusion
Sharing your home with unwanted wildlife can lead to:
- Property damage: Rodents and other animals can chew wires, tear up insulation, and leave unsightly droppings.
- Disease transmission: Wildlife can carry parasites and diseases that pose a risk to your family and pets.
- Safety hazards: Wild animals can be aggressive and unpredictable, especially when cornered.
