(607NewsNow) — As days get shorter and weather gets colder, it’s not uncommon for homeowners to notice an increase in activity from unwanted wildlife.

November is prime time for wrapping up fall cleaning projects such as removing dead annual plants, cutting back appropriate perennial vegetation, and getting rid of debris around the foundation of your home to eliminate food sources and shelter for animals looking for a way in.

Squirrels may find an opening around attics and rooflines, while mice and rats can use small gaps that may seem harmless to get in around foundations, doors, and utility lines.

Wildlife Resolutions, professionals conduct Wildlife Assessments to identify signs of activity, locate entry and exit points, and will recommend solutions to help keep critters out of your living space.

This fall, don’t wait until you hear suspicious scratching to try and prevent rodents and pests from making themselves feel at home, contact Wildlife Resolutions for expert advice and guidance.
