Stove and Bathroom Exhaust Vents
If unsecured, they make ideal nesting sites for birds and sometimes squirrels.
This results in noticeable sounds, odors and insects.
Roof Vents
Constructed of light weight aluminum or plastic, they are no obstacle for
animals seeking entry into attics.
Roof - Soffit Intersection
If left unscreened, they can easily be manipulated by an animal from the outside
in order to establish a den site inside the attic space.
- Roof and Fascia Spaces
If not properly constructed, or due to deterioration, they offer an opportunity
for wildlife to chew on the free edge of the wood and gain entry into the attic.
-
- Chimney
If not screened properly, they make suitable living quarters for
raccoons and squirrels. Birds often fall into open chimneys and
become stuck at the bottom. Sometimes these animals even enter the
"living space" of the home.
Plumbing Vent Pipes
If left unprotected, they are an invitation to animals seeking den sites inside
the house. Once inside the pipe, wildlife often becomes stuck and obstruct the
normal function of the building's plumbing system.
