How to Keep Wildlife Out of Your Home in Virginia Beach, Norfolk & Chesapeake

How to Keep Wildlife Out of Your Home in Virginia Beach, Norfolk & Chesapeake
It was a quiet Saturday morning in Chesapeake when the Johnsons heard scratching above their living room ceiling. At first, they thought it was the wind—but soon realized a family of squirrels had moved into their attic!
Stories like this are more common than you think. Wildlife such as squirrels, raccoons, bats, snakes, and birds often find cozy spots in attics, crawl spaces, vents, and chimneys. Not only can these critters damage your home, but they also bring health risks and unexpected stress.
At All Around Animal Control, we’ve helped countless homeowners in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and surrounding areas safely remove wildlife and prevent them from returning. Here’s how you can protect your home:
1. Inspect and Seal Entry Points, Walk around your home looking for gaps, holes, or weak spots where animals could enter. Pay close attention to roof lines, vents, chimneys, and foundations. Even small openings (as small as ¾ inch) can be a welcome invitation for squirrels or bats.
2. Keep Your Yard Clean, Remove fallen fruit, trim overhanging tree branches, and secure trash bins. Raccoons and rodents are attracted to food sources and easy access points.
3. Use Safe Deterrents, Humane deterrents like motion-activated lights, ultrasonic repellents, or predator decoys can help discourage animals from approaching your property.
4. Maintain Regular Home Maintenance, Check your attic, crawl spaces, and vents periodically for signs of wildlife. Early detection makes removal much easier and less expensive.
