"The Lifecycle of Wildlife: Understanding When and Why They Enter Your Property"
Wildlife is an essential part of the natural world, but they can become a nuisance when they enter your property. Understanding the lifecycle of different wildlife species can help you prevent and address wildlife infestations. In this post, we'll explore the lifecycle of wildlife and when and why they might enter your property.
Breeding Season: Breeding season is a common time for wildlife to enter your property in search of mates and nesting sites. For example, raccoons, skunks, and squirrels breed in late winter and early spring and may be more active during this time.
Nesting Season: Wildlife species that build nests, such as birds and squirrels, may be more likely to enter your property during nesting season. They may be looking for suitable locations to build their nests or may accidentally enter your property in search of food or shelter.
Migration: Some wildlife species, such as birds and bats, migrate seasonally in search of food and nesting sites. They may pass through your property during migration and may be more likely to enter your property if they are attracted to sources of food or shelter.
Hibernation: Wildlife species such as bats, raccoons, and groundhogs hibernate during the winter months. They may enter your property in search of a suitable hibernation location, such as your attic or basement.
Food and Water Sources: Wildlife species may enter your property in search of food and water sources. This can be especially true during periods of drought or when natural food sources are scarce.
Understanding when and why wildlife might enter your property can help you take proactive measures to prevent infestations. This may include sealing off potential entry points, eliminating attractants such as food and water sources, and modifying your property to make it less appealing to wildlife.
