Common December Pest & Wildlife Concerns

Rodents: Mice and rats remain active, looking for warmth and food. They can damage insulation, wiring, and wood while spreading disease.

Raccoons, Squirrels, and Bats: These animals may enter homes seeking shelter from cold temperatures. Their activity can cause structural damage and leave behind feces and urine that pose health risks.

Insects: Some insects, such as spiders, may continue to seek shelter indoors during winter months.
