Where do mice hide? 🐭 You might be surprised! These critters can slip into the tiniest spaces, often nesting in attics, walls, crawl spaces, and even kitchens.

If you hear scratching in the walls or spot droppings, mice may have moved in.

As temperatures drop, bats either hibernate or migrate, slowing their heart rate from 200-300 beats per minute to just 10, and even pausing their breath for minutes at a time to conserve energy!

They seek out dark, warm spots—like attics and chimneys—to settle into a sleep-like state that can last months. Ensure your home isn’t on their winter guest list!

True or False: Raccoons hibernate during the winter. ❄️🦝

False! Unlike some animals, raccoons don’t hibernate. Instead, they’ll continue to forage for food throughout the colder months. When temperatures drop too low, raccoons seek shelter in warm spots like attics, chimneys, or sheds and enter a state of dormancy called torpor.
