Maple City's mix of structures and nearby green space gives raccoons, squirrels, and other wildlife easy access to attics and outbuildings. Wood-frame farmhouses and small-town homes dominate, nearly all built with basements for both winter cold and storm shelter. 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.
