By this time, winter is well behind us and spring is about to leave as well. This means that wildlife is becoming more and more active. The question is, are they going to be active around your yard this summer? Our hope is that after this article you will have the knowledge you need to keep wildlife off your property this summer.
Things You May Be Doing That Attract Wildlife To Your Property
Who doesn’t like free food? We know that wild animals love it. That being said, can you guess the biggest mistake homeowners make that attracts wildlife onto their properties? They leave food out where it is easily accessible. Obviously, if you are leaving scraps of food in your yard or leaving trash in trash cans that don't have secured lids, wild creatures are going to want to be around. Squirrels love snacking on birdseed that falls from bird feeders. Raccoons love stealing leftover pet food (and water left out in water bowls). On top of this, some other factors that also attract wildlife include clutter, holes in your yard, and water build up.
Things You Can Do To Avoid Wildlife Problems
As we just discussed, there are a number of things you can do to attract wildlife to your property. Even the simple act of accidentally dropping part of a hamburger while having a cookout with your family is enough to attract a carnivorous wild animal to your property. Prevention starts with you. Remain vigilant not to leave food such as bird feed, pet food, and human food out for wild animals and you will have less of a problem with wildlife this summer.
