The Top 7 Local Pests

Homeowners should beware of the particular problems and dangers presented by each of these nuisances.

Bats

These creatures produce incredible amounts of guano (feces) and urine, which can be corrosive and can cause expensive and significant structural damage. This guano also contains strains of the Histoplasmosis virus, which can cause serious respiratory complications, including death, especially in those with weakened immune systems.

Birds

Seeking cover from predators frequently results in birds taking up residency in your home. Their early morning and late evening chirps and calls can be annoying. In addition, bird droppings can spread diseases and parasites such as fleas and mites.

Groundhogs/Moles

Due to their constant burrowing, groundhogs and moles can ruin landscaping and even cause damage to the foundation of your home. These animals also carry fleas, ticks, and other parasites that can be harmful to you, your family, and your pets.

Raccoons

In urban areas, raccoons will frequently make their dens in attics, chimneys, and crawl spaces. These animals can cause significant property damage, Racoon feces and urine can pose serious health hazards to homeowners. In addition to rabies, raccoons spread diseases and parasites like raccoon roundworm, tularemia, giardia, salmonellosis, and leptospirosis.

Skunks

Frequently skunks will choose to make their homes by burrowing under sheds, porches, crawl spaces or beneath building foundations. These animals carry rabies, not to mention the fact that if startled or threatened, skunks will defend themselves, using their anal scent glands to spray an odorous mixture of sulfur-containing chemicals.

Snakes 

Although snakes typically try to avoid human contact, they frequently enter homes through gaps or cracks in the foundation. Many species of snake are venomous, and even non-venomous snakes can cause fear and severe anxiety.

Squirrels
