Don’t you hate going in for a routine oil change and end up getting a car full of squirrel babies? This was a case for a Skedaddle Customer this past Saturday!

In Skedaddle’s 29 years we are used to finding wildlife babies in all sorts of areas- attics, chimneys, walls, balconies, bathtubs, etc.

This year, we discovered our first squirrel and raccoon babies in unique spots as well- under the hood of a BMW and in a beer cooler!

The squirrels in the BMW had quite the adventure, as the car was towed from a homeowners’ house to the dealership!

Skedaddle has found raccoon babies in a bathtub as well!

We found squirrel babies, living 15 floors up on a balcony!

The lesson to be learned here is that wildlife doesn’t always play by the rules – they will take advantage of whatever area they think is acceptable to home their babies, and that could mean problems for homeowners.

We recommend that during baby season, March- June, homeowners should be vigilant about leaving areas of their homes exposed to wildlife. Prevention work should be done to the home, such as the roof vents, weak areas in the soffit, chimneys, etc. This prevention work should be done ASAP, as dealing with one animal is easier, less destructive and more affordable than a whole family of babies!

If you do find yourself dealing with wildlife babies, it is important to call a humane wildlife control company. Wildlife babies are immobile for up to 10 weeks, so the only way to remove them Is by hand. To learn about Skedaddle’s humane baby wildlife removal, click here.

We also recommend not leaving open containers, coolers, pots etc. on your decks and balconies.

If you suspect that wildlife has taken up residence inside your attic, chimney, deck or shed then connect with Skedaddle today! Call 1-877-333-9453.
