Raccoons and squirrels share the same methods for breaking into homes. Typically they enter via roof vents, plumbing mats, roof soffit intersections, chimneys, etc. Once inside they chew wires, damage and destroy insulation with feces and urine, and produce irritating amounts of noise.

Bats, along with mice, can gain entry to any style of building through a crack or hole the size of a Canadian dime. These entry points are found in breather bricks, gaps between brick and siding, roof vents, dryer or exhaust vents, and many other areas on various types of structures.

Skunks and possums have similar den and nesting sites. Both enjoy dark and sheltered places, such as under decks, porches, pool rooms, and sheds. They often damage gardens and lawns by digging their way into these areas, leaving messes and a lingering and unpleasant odour.

Birds tend to nest in exhaust and dryer vents, soffit and roof soffit intersections, and all other types of dry and sheltered areas. Birds nesting in and around your property can result in a list of costly and frustrating damage to you and your family.
