You may feel as though you’re living in a zoo already, so it doesn't help when these wildlife creatures come sneaking onto your Kingston property! There are many types of wild animals that can be seen wandering about the Kingston area. While many of them are interesting to see in our backyards, some of them pose real and serious problems for homeowners. The most common troublesome wildlife species in Kingston are:

Raccoon

Rats
Mice
Squirrels
Raccoons
Opossums

There are many different problems that come with wildlife species invading residential properties. The destruction of household goods, the spread of diseases, and the threat of serious harm are all legitimate causes for concern. This is why Kingston homeowners must be equipped with the knowledge it takes to keep wildlife species off of their lawns.

Preventing Kingston Wildlife Problems With Three Easy Tips

The best way to keep pests off your property and subsequently outside of the house is to remove and reduce the factors that attract them in the first place.

The following tips help homeowners all over Kingston to deter wildlife populations from their property:

Wildlife species enjoy living in the scrubby forest or field areas around rural homes. Trim all shrubs, grasses, and trees away from the sides of the home to prevent yourself from confusing wildlife species, causing them to come closer. Ensure there are no plants or plant life that could be attracting the attention of outdoor animals.
Seal all trash in tight, unalterable containers when outside the house. Consider buying locks or lids that block out wildlife creatures such as mice, rats, and raccoons.
Eliminate standing water sources that are open in the lawn, including vernal pools and tarps holding water. These could be drawing thirsty creatures closer than you may prefer.
