Canada is home to an extraordinary diversity of wildlife species, such as 26 snake species and over 20 squirrel species alone! There’s also wide variation when it comes to where wildlife pests choose to settle down in Canada.
Raccoons build their dens in tree cavities or caves while skunks inhabit grasslands and forests, while rabbits prefer swampy woodland environments with lots of groundcover for concealment or burrowing; snakes inhabit forests, prairies, deserts marshes as well as near freshwater lakes or ponds.
Tips to Stop Animals from Invading
Put in outdoor garbage cans that can’t be messed with. Keep garbage cans a safe distance away from your home. Take down the bird feeders and pet food. Cut back the trees and bushes that hang over. Build fences below and above ground as barriers, seal any potential entry points with steel mesh fencing, secure gaps under decks/porches/porches with deck railings that have gaps or are missing altogether, and install screening over vents/chimneys; clear any piles of debris/brush in which wildlife may nests/hide.
Habitat, Diet, and Life Cycle
Many of the pesky animals in the wild are mammals. That means their babies are born alive and they drink milk from their mom until they’re ready to eat other food. Snakes lay eggs that eventually hatch out as offspring while young opossums develop within their mother’s pouch.
Commonly Asked Questions
Why am I experiencing wildlife pest problems?
Wildlife animals enter homes and businesses seeking food, water, and shelter sources. Typically they don’t look too closely before making their move on the home they need in search of such things as a source of sustenance for themselves as well.
Raccoons have evolved to thrive in our environment and thrive under porches, in garages, abandoned buildings, and barns; eating anything they find food-wise like garbage bins, bird feeders, or unattended pet food. wildlife may come into our environment and attempt to recreate its ideal nesting conditions, creating chaos wherever possible.
Bats usually like to hang out under bridges, in caves, or cracks in rocks. Sometimes, they accidentally fly into houses through open windows or doors. Then, they might decide to make their home in the attic and even have babies there.
What should I be concerned about regarding wildlife pests?
Urban wildlife can become serious concerns when they invade a home and set up shop there, wreaking havoc with structures, polluting food supplies, and harming yields for crop plants.
Wildlife can pose serious threats to human and pet health, spreading deadly diseases while attacking both individuals and their companions. Skunk spray alone has enough power to cause skin irritation or blindness while some snake bites may even prove deadly. Wildlife pests like raccoons can be highly regulated. In certain areas, for instance, it’s illegal to remove female raccoons with kits from their nest until those young can leave with their mother.
