Many animals live in New Jersey, and a lot of them would not have any problem using your home as a nice, warm and cozy place to live. It does not matter if it is a hot summer (under your porch or home provides cool shade) or a cold winter (you have a warmer den to stay out of the wind and snow). Many animals live in New Jersey, and a lot of them would not have any problem using your home as a nice, warm and cozy place to live. It does not matter if it is a hot summer (under your porch or home provides cool shade) or a cold winter (you have a warmer den to stay out of the wind and snow). Human habitats can provide excellent places for animals to weather out storms, raise litters away from predators, and much more.

With that said though, there are many problems associated with wild animals mixing with humans, and if they decide to move in you need to make sure they move right back out again. Raccoons can do a lot of damage to areas if given the chance – not to mention getting into garbage. Skunks will protect themselves whenever necessary, which means you or your pets getting a nasty spray of skunk perfume. Squirrels can do damage from chewing. Many animals can carry parasites and diseases that you don’t need around your home. They also leave feces and urine around which can do a lot of harm to structures if left unchecked – even animals that seem harmless, such as pigeons.

The Best Offense…

The right kind of defense will keep animals from coming into your home. You need to make sure that your home doesn’t have places that will entice opossums, moles, skunks, or other animals. This is especially true if you live in an area where wildlife is more commonly sighted. While it is true that a lot of wild animals are venturing deeper into human inhabited areas, you’re still more likely to discover a problem when you live in an area where wildlife primarily lives.

Start by blocking off holes and other areas that wildlife might find appealing. For example, holes near your attic area can be a perfect place for bats, squirrels, and even raccoons to get into and start nesting. Filling in holes or screening them is a great way to start. With some areas that you block off, you will need to take additional precautions because certain animals will chew through things in order to get to a place they deem suitable enough to live and raise their broods.

In addition to blocking off potential living areas, you should also make sure that there are no food sources to entice them. That means clearing out brush and other things that might harbor pests animals eat, locking down garbage, etc.
