Brook's mix of structures and nearby green space gives raccoons, squirrels, and other wildlife easy access to attics and outbuildings. Older brick and wood-frame homes are common throughout this region, from Evansville's river neighborhoods to Bloomington's university district. The entry point that let them in is usually the same one that needs sealing after removal.
Because sealing an entry point too early can trap an animal inside a wall or attic void, our approach always starts with confirming the species and any young present. From there, humane exclusion devices allow the animal to leave on its own schedule, with permanent sealing following once the space is clear.
