Wildlife Footprints And Tracks
Identifying Wildlife Footprints and Tracks
Years of experience help the pros at Black Diamond identify wildlife footprints by inspecting the exterior and interior of your property. Animal tracks in the yard, whether in mud or snow tracks, can reveal which animals live nearby, such as raccoons, squirrels, or skunks. Animals like raccoons have a distinctive hand-like shape and often lead towards your home or garden.
If we find footprints in the attic dust or rodent tracks in the crawlspaces, this could be a direct sign of an active infestation within the structure. Squirrel tracks in the attic are typically small and numerous. By assessing the fresh tracks vs. old tracks, you can determine if the animal activity is current or seasonal.
Identifying these wildlife tracks near entry points, compost, or even rodent footprints in the basement is a crucial step for pinpointing the animal and starting the appropriate wildlife removal process.
