As temperatures rise in Connecticut, so does wildlife activity around homes and properties. Summer brings longer days, abundant food sources, and ideal breeding conditions, making it a peak season for animals like raccoons, skunks, bats, and squirrels to be on the move.
Raccoons often rummage through garbage cans and may try to find shelter in attics or garages. They’re resourceful and determined, especially when raising young. Skunks, known for their distinctive odor, become more active at dusk and can dig under decks, sheds, or patios to create dens. Bats also become more visible during summer, particularly at dusk when they hunt insects. If they find entry points into your home, they may roost in attics or chimneys, leading to health concerns like histoplasmosis. Squirrels, meanwhile, take advantage of warm weather to gather food and may cause damage by chewing through siding, vents, and wiring.
Warmer weather makes animals more active and encourages them to explore new territories, increasing the chances of human-wildlife encounters. Small openings in roofs, basements, and foundations can easily become entry points.
