Signs Wildlife May Be Getting in Through the Roofline In Springfield, MO Area

Roofline wildlife problems can cause damage before you realize animals are inside. For example, you may notice torn soffits, damaged vents, chewed fascia, droppings, stains, scratching noises, or animals moving near the roof. You may also see gaps around vents, trim, or attic openings. When this happens, it is important to remove the animal and close the entry point.

Chimney, Vent & Roof Entry Protection

Animals can enter through small gaps around rooflines, soffits, eaves, vents, chimneys, dormers, and fascia. For example, bats may use tiny gaps near attic vents or gable vents. Squirrels may chew through fascia or soffit areas. Raccoons may damage roof edges, eaves, or weak entry points to get inside.

Kennedy Wildlife can inspect common roof entry areas, including chimney openings, roof vents, attic vents, gable vents, soffits, fascia gaps, dormer gaps, plumbing vent areas, and other vulnerable spots. Then, we can recommend entry point repair, chimney screening, roof vent covers, gable vent protection, or exclusion materials when needed.
