Tampa Animals Inside the Attic

Have you found wild Florida animals in your attics of home and building? Is there any noise above the ceiling? The attic of your home is likely a place you spend very little time. In most homes, this location is designed in such a way that you usually have to go through some kind of hatch in the ceiling to be able to get inside of it.



Types of animals that usually live in the attic
• Rats – Rats are rodents that usually leave near human households, they are great climbers and can climb almost anything. They usually crawl through holes and crevices in the walls.
• Tampa Snakes – snakes are the more silent animals and the easiest way to know that you have a snake in the attic is by seeing the skin that they shed.
• Bats – much like rats bats usually get in the attic by holes and crevices in the exterior of the house.
• Birds – they usually get through holes and open windows, the best way to notice them is feathers, nests and noises coming from the attic
• Florida Raccoons – they are expert climbers and they leave large paths full of debris behind them
• Squirrels – they are small animals that can fit through everything, you can suspect they are in your home by the noise they make and finding nests.

Why do animals like to live in the attic?
Florida animals evolved to live in the human surrounding. This is due to the fact that humans destroyed their natural habitat. Raccoons and rats know that human households provide security and food so they nest inside the attics or under the houses.

What to do about it?
Wildlife and Tampa rodents are usually nasty neighbors and they affect the lives of the people living inside the house. They chew through walls and beams and usually die in the attic or under the house and leave a terrible stench behind. You can usually deal with the problem yourself by fixing the holes in the attic or ask for professional help to do it for you.
