😂 OKAY HOMEOWNERS… WHERE’S YOUR LINE?

You hear something suspicious in the house at 2 AM.

Which one finally makes you call a wildlife professional?

A. Scratching inside the wall 🐭
B. Footsteps running across the attic 🐿️
C. Something knocks over a box upstairs when nobody is up there 😳
D. The dog comes running back to the door smelling like skunk 🦨
E. Absolutely none of the above because I’m going up there with a flashlight myself 😂

Drop your letter in the comments. 👇

And be honest… I want to know how many E’s are out there. 😂

🍂 WAKING UP TO LITTLE HOLES ALL OVER YOUR LAWN?

Fall is prime time for skunk digging. 🦨

Skunks spend a lot of time searching for grubs and other insects in the soil, and a lawn with a good food source can look pretty rough after a few nights of activity.

The digging itself doesn’t necessarily mean a skunk is living on your property—but if you're also noticing activity around a porch, deck, shed or foundation, it’s worth taking a closer look.

And unfortunately, sometimes the first sign a homeowner gets is when the family dog decides to investigate. 😬

If you're seeing repeated skunk activity around your home, A&C Wildlife Services can help identify what’s attracting them and determine whether you have an animal denning nearby.

🔎 MYSTERY SOLVED!
If you guessed more than one unwanted tenant, you were onto something. 👀

This attic had evidence of both bats AND mice. 🦇🐭

A closer inspection revealed:
🦇 Bat guano scattered throughout the insulation
🐭 Mouse droppings in multiple areas
💧 Urine staining and contaminated insulation
🪹 Nesting activity tucked back along the framing

And this is exactly why simply not seeing an animal doesn't mean nothing is there.
Wildlife leaves evidence behind—and knowing what to look for can tell us who has been using the space, where they've been spending their time, and what needs to be addressed.

In this case, we weren't dealing with just one wildlife problem. There were signs of multiple species sharing the same attic.

How many clues did you catch in the original photo? 👀

🔎 WILDLIFE DETECTIVES — YOU’RE UP!

You don’t always have to see the animal to figure out who’s been living in a home.

During a recent attic inspection, I found plenty of evidence left behind by some unwanted tenants. 👀

Here’s the challenge: there’s evidence from TWO different types of wildlife in this photo.

Can you identify both? 🐾

Take a close look and drop your guesses in the comments. 👇

I’ll reveal the answer this afternoon!

🍂 FALL IS HERE… AND WILDLIFE IS LOOKING FOR SHELTER.

At first glance, this vent looks protected. It’s screened, the screening is mostly intact, and nothing immediately jumps out as a problem.
But look a little closer. 👀

See that opening along the bottom?

As temperatures drop, squirrels, mice and other wildlife begin looking for warm, protected places—and openings around vents, soffits and rooflines can provide exactly the opportunity they need.

This is why fall is a great time to walk around your home and look UP.
🔎 Check your vents
🔎 Look along soffits and roof edges
🔎 Watch for loose or damaged screening
🔎 Pay attention to gaps where materials meet

You don’t need a giant hole for wildlife to find an opportunity.

Sometimes the smallest details are the most important ones to catch before something decides to move in. 🏠🐾

📩 Not sure if something around your home is an entry point? A&C Wildlife Services can help.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Great accommodations. Would absolutely move in again.”
— The chipmunk living in your attic

😂 Unfortunately, some of our local wildlife would probably give us five stars as landlords.

So let's play a game:

If the wildlife around YOUR house could leave a review, what would it say?

🦝 “Trash service is excellent.”
🦨 “Plenty of grubs. Quiet neighborhood.”
🐿️ “Attic was warm. Entrance could've been bigger.”
🐇 “Landscaping was delicious.”
🐦 “Five-star bird feeder. Will return.”

Apparently I had a recent tenant review of my own...🐿Full review in the comments 👇
Drop yours below. 👇😂

All jokes aside, food, shelter and easy access are the three big things that can make a property attractive to wildlife.

You don't have to make your home completely wildlife-proof—you just don't want to be the best-rated Airbnb on the block. 😂

🐝 MYSTERY SOLVED!

Congratulations Megan Noelle you guessed honeybees, you got it! 🍯

That heat signature was actually a honeybee colony living inside the structure.

This is a great example of why having the right tools can make such a difference during an inspection. You can't always see what's happening behind a wall, or how large of a problem you have. A thermal camera can identify temperature differences that help narrow down where activity may be located.

Thermal imaging isn't a magic wildlife detector. It's another piece of the puzzle that I can combine with what I'm seeing, hearing, and finding during an inspection.

Every property—and every wildlife problem—is different. That's why I prefer to inspect first, identify what we're actually dealing with, and build the plan from there.

🔎 WHAT’S BEHIND THE WALL? 👀

Sometimes wildlife leaves clues we can’t see with the naked eye.

This is an actual thermal image from one of my inspections. That bright area is showing a noticeable temperature difference inside the structure.

Thermal imaging is one of the tools I use when activity may be behind walls, underneath insulation, or somewhere that simply isn’t accessible for a visual inspection.

So let’s test your wildlife detective skills…
What do YOU think was living behind this wall? 🐾

I’ll reveal the answer this afternoon.
Edit: Answer revealed in our follow-up post 🥰
Hint: The answer might not be what you expect. 😉

🐿️ HEARING SCRATCHING ABOVE YOUR HEAD?

Fall is here, and squirrels are getting busy preparing for colder weather.

If you’re hearing scratching, scurrying, or chewing around the attic or roofline, don’t automatically assume the animal is just running across your roof.

Pay attention to when and where you hear it.
🐿️ Activity mainly during the day can point toward squirrels or other daytime wildlife.
🌙 Activity primarily at night may suggest a different visitor.
🏠 Repeated noise from the same area can be worth taking a closer look at.
And remember—the animal itself is only half of the problem.

If wildlife is getting inside your home, there’s an entry point somewhere. Finding and addressing that opening is what helps prevent the next animal from simply taking its place.

📩 Hearing something you can’t identify? A&C Wildlife Services can help determine what you’re dealing with and how it may be getting inside.

🍂 Your fall wildlife home check! 🏠🐿️

Fall is on its way—and while we're thinking about cooler weather, wildlife is preparing for it too.

Take 10 minutes this weekend and walk around the outside of your home. Look up AND down for:

🏚 Loose or damaged soffits
🧱 Gaps around siding and foundations
💨 Uncovered or damaged vents
🏠 Openings around rooflines
🕳 Burrows underneath decks, sheds or porches
🐿 Chewing, droppings or nesting material
🌳Tree limbs giving easy access to the roof

You don't have to actually see an animal to find evidence that one has been visiting.

Catching a vulnerable area before something decides to move in can save you a much bigger headache later.

And if you find something and aren't quite sure what you're looking at—take a picture! 📸

You can send it to A&C Wildlife Services and we'll help point you in the right direction.
