HOW TO IDENTIFY ANIMAL ACTIVITY

Check for Tracks: Look for footprints in mud, dirt, or snow to identify the animals.

Look for Droppings: Examine size, shape, and consistency to distinguish between animals.

Listen for Noises: Scratching or scurrying sounds, especially at night, could indicate animal activity in walls or attic.

Inspect for Damage: Chewed wires, torn insulation, or nesting materials signal possible animal presence.

Monitor Food Sources: Spilled birdseed, overturned garbage, or half-eaten food may attract animals.

TOOLS FOR MONITORING ANIMAL ACTIVITY

Motion-Sensor Cameras: Capture images of animals at night or in hard-to-reach areas.

Tracking Powder: Use non-toxic powder to identify animal paths.

Motion-Activated Lights: Use lights to deter nocturnal animals and observe their movements.

WHEN TO SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP
If you're dealing with an infestation or cannot identify the animal, it's best to call a wildlife control expert for safe removal and prevention.
