Falling Leaves Signal Autumn Has Arrived!

The fall season is a busy time for wildlife as they begin storing their food, building their fat stores, and looking for the perfect winter home. As you begin getting ready for fall, animals are seeking shelter in your home. Attics, basements, garages, and sheds become attractive hideouts for wildlife looking to escape the cold, often going unnoticed until spring arrives.

Mice become highly active in fall, taking advantage of the season’s ideal temperatures to search for food and shelter. They often find their way into homes, attracted by the warmth, food, and protection they offer. Once they establish a food source nearby, they’re likely to stick around for the winter.

Raccoons, squirrels, and skunks are busy collecting food and finding warm, secure places to stay during the fall season. Although they don’t hibernate, they enter periods of low activity known as “torpor” to conserve energy. During this time, many migratory birds are heading south, while non-migratory birds search for warm places to nest through the winter months.

Bats are among the few urban animals that enter full hibernation during winter. To prepare, they build up fat reserves in the fall by eating large amounts of insects, and secure homes for the winter season. Bats must be removed from homes before hibernation begins, so timely action is crucial to avoid legal and safety issues.
