Maintenance Issues to Blame for Animals
As nuisance animal removers, we are obviously called about problematic nuisance animals.
But today we ask, “Are raccoons in the roof the real problem?”
As Ryan points out in the video below, the raccoons in this porch roof are just a symptom of a much bigger problem.
We understand that calling nuisance raccoons a symptom rather than the problem is a case of semantics. Most homeowners just want the raccoons gone!
But, considering squirrels as symptoms helps us get to real solutions for squirrels and other nuisance animals.
And solutions for nuisance animal problems is what we’re all about!
Raccoons as Symptoms of Real Problem
Before we go on, watch this video. As Ryan explains it, the distinction we’re trying to make here is hopefully clearer.
In this case he states that the lack of maintenance on the slate roof the real problem. He was called to inspect and see how to solve the problem. The discussion of the solution is going to have to involve this long-term slate roof issue.
Keeping Nuisance Animals Out is Key
In this and many other cases, merely getting rid of the nuisance animals will often not provide a long term solution if the real problem (soffit in this case) is not fixed. That is the point we really want to make for those experiencing a nuisance wildlife issue.
Therefore, we believe it is best practice to address any nuisance animal issue in its entirety. That means we have to consider causation, not just the animals that have attracted attention.
That is why the actual removing of nuisance wild animals is often only half of the battle (or less!).
Even though repair/prevention work doesn’t always get top billing, it is one of the most vital parts of achieving long term solutions for nuisance animal problems.
Repair work, prevention, and animal exclusion is arguably even more important than the actual animal removal.
For those of you with a slate roof; take heed. Stay on top of maintenance.
