Signs of Wildlife in Your Home
The sooner you catch a wildlife issue, the better – a single pair of rats can explode into a population of 1,250 in just one year. Since animals make terrible roommates, watch for these 6 telltale signs:
-
Seeing rodents or other pests near your roofline, foundation, crawl space, or fireplace.
-
Hearing scratching, scurrying, chirping, or thumping inside walls, attics, or chimneys.
-
Smelling a pungent mix of droppings, nesting material, or food waste.
-
Finding scattered insulation, leaves, or twigs gathered in corners.
-
Noticing chewed or broken siding, foundation gaps, or damaged chimney caps.
-
Spotting pests leaving your roof at dusk or returning at dawn.

I had a bat in my home that entered through the chimney. Mr. Smokestack came to inspect the chimney and did a very thorough job. The technician documented both the exterior areas and the interior of the chimney with photos and explained how the bat may have entered the home. I received my quote quickly and will be moving forward with the necessary repairs. Very good experience!
