How to Protect Your Lake House from Wildlife While You Are Away

As the summer fun comes to an end and you prepare to leave your lake house for the fall season, it is important to take the necessary measures to ensure that wildlife does not invade your space while you are away. When leaving your lake house unoccupied during the colder months, it’s only natural for wildlife to search for a warm place to take shelter. To prevent unwanted animals from making themselves at home, Go Pro Wildlife Removal can take the worry off your hands by assisting with preventative measures.

Common Lake House Entry Points

Educate yourself on the common entry points of your lake house so you can make sure these cracks and crevices are secure when you leave. You may already know that critters will find their way into your home through an attic or crawlspace, but here are a few more entry points that you may not have thought of yet:

  • Ridge vents
  • Chimney caps
  • Windows
  • Drop edges
  • Soffits
  • Molding
  • Eaves
  • Bathroom vents
  • Gable vents
  • Fascia boards
  • Cracks and holes in the foundation

Wildlife Most Active in the Fall and Winter

Depending on the season, different species of wildlife may take residency in your home. Now that you know where these critters could be entering from, it is important to know which types of critters are active during the colder months and the signs to look out for that indicate they may be nearby.

  • Raccoons: Trash strewn across your yard, scratch marks at the bottom of trees, footprints that resemble humans
  • Squirrels: Scampering noises in the early morning or at dusk, urine odors, deposits of acorns in your attic or on your roof
  • Bats: Droppings/guano, chirping noises, scratches on the walls, smells like ammonia
