Common Types Of Wildlife Found Around Stockbridge Homes
Wildlife animals can find their way to Stockbridge backyards and bring chaos that homeowners don’t want. It’s important to understand their differences and similarities in order to deal with them effectively. Here are a few of the common types of wildlife that people may encounter:
Raccoons: Raccoons, or otherwise known as masked bandits, slink around home properties looking for food and can damage properties, too. They can carry parasitic pests as well as rabies.
Rats and mice: Rodents like rats and mice are pests that people commonly find both inside and outside of their homes. They fit through small openings in order to access the food and shelter that a home offers. Given their habits for chewing, rats and mice can cause severe property damage.
Squirrels: These critters are easy to identify because they’re likely scaling the trees in the yard. Squirrels can be gray or reddish-brown, depending on the type. They have big bushy tails and usually forage for acorns. Like other wildlife, they can carry and spread parasitic pests.

What Attracts Fleas And Ticks To Stockbridge Yards?
Fleas and ticks are two very frequent visitors to Stockbridge yards. Because they are parasites, fleas and ticks often get brought to areas like these via a host. That host is usually a wildlife animal or even family cats and dogs. Wildlife such as skunks, opossums, and squirrels can carry any number of fleas and ticks and then spread them around yards quite easily and without getting discovered. When cats and dogs spread them, it’s either that they’ve picked up fleas and ticks from the yard itself or they’ve brought them back after a trip to the dog park or after going on a hike.
Once fleas and ticks have found their way to a yard, they’ll stick around if the conditions are just right. They need shady places to hide, topsoil, and water sources. An unkempt lawn is ideal for them, but they can make do with garden beds.
