Common Nuisance Wildlife You May Have Nesting In and Around Your Home

Common Nuisance Wildlife

There are several types of nuisance wildlife commonly found in Missouri. Some of these include:

• Raccoons – These animals can cause damage to homes and property and can also carry diseases that can be harmful to humans and pets.
• Squirrels – Squirrels can cause damage to homes and property and can also carry diseases such as rabies.
• Skunks – Skunks are known for their strong odor, which can be difficult to remove once they spray. They can also cause damage to property and carry diseases such as rabies.
• Opossums – Opossums are often considered a nuisance because they will raid trash cans and gardens. They can also carry diseases such as leptospirosis and salmonella.
• Moles – Moles can damage lawns and gardens with their burrowing activities and can be challenging to get rid of.
• Bats – Bats can roost in attics and other areas of homes, causing damage and potentially transmitting diseases such as rabies.

It’s crucial to address nuisance wildlife problems promptly and safely to prevent further damage and minimize potential health risks. It’s also important to take preventative measures to keep wildlife from entering homes and property. This can include sealing up any potential entry points, such as gaps around doors and windows, and securing trash cans and compost bins.
