Wild Animals and Attics Every day, thousands of American households get invaded by wild animals. Although wild animals are capable of invading basically any part of a house, they are especially fond of invading attics. Now, there must be a reason for wild animals being fond of attic, but what is that reason?

Well, wild animals love people’s attics because of a number of reasons. One of the main reasons why wild animals invade attics is because they consider attic as a place where they are safe from predators. Second reason why wild animals can be found in attics is because they love climate inside attics which is dry and moist. And the third, main reason why they can be found in attics is because they find it as a suitable place to give birth to their young and raise them. However, will a wild animal in an attic always have a nest of babies? Let’s find that out.

Time of the Year is Important
Unlike humans, which don’t have a special period in the year for mating, wild animals have a special period in which they mate. The mating season of almost all wild animals begins in late March and it last for a very long time. The mating season of wild animals lasts for nearly seven months, which means that it runs from late March to early October.

Now, considering this fact, you will be able to determine is there a nest of wild animals in your attic. You will able to determine this if you notice wild animals or hear their sounds in your attic during their mating season. If you hear weird noises coming from your attic anywhere from March to early October, you can bet that there are wild animals in your attic raising their young.





Wild Animals and Babies
Not all wild animals invade attics for the purpose of giving birth there and raising their young. However, most of them invade attics for that reason.

The most common wild animals that can be found in attics with a nest of babies include:
• Raccoons
• Squirrels
• Opossums
• Bats
• Mice
• Rats
• Snakes

If you ever find a nest of wild animals in your attic, be careful because the parent of wild animal babies is always near and may attack you. You should especially be careful with rat nests and raccoon nests. The best idea to get rid of such nests is to call a wildlife control service because it is pretty much complex to get rid of wild animal young and adult wild animals at the same time.
