Winter in the Oklahoma City
Winter in the Oklahoma City metro brings unstable weather, holiday travel,
and wildlife deciding your house looks like a solid long-term rental.
As temperatures drop, homeowners across Oklahoma City, Edmond, Moore,
Norman, Yukon, and Midwest City start hearing scratching, running,
and thumping sounds above the ceiling.
Why Wildlife Enters Oklahoma City Homes During Winter
When winter hits Oklahoma, wildlife stops using temporary hiding spots
and starts looking for warm, secure shelter. Attics, crawl spaces,
and wall cavities provide insulation, protection from the elements,
and minimal human activity.
Common Winter Wildlife Issues in Oklahoma City
- Raccoons nesting in attics
- Squirrels entering through rooflines and vents
- Animals nesting in insulation
- Scratching and running noises above ceilings
- Damage to soffits, vents, and roof edges
Can Wildlife Problems Wait Until After the Holidays?
In most cases, waiting makes the problem worse. Wildlife that enters
a home in winter often expands nesting areas, contaminates insulation,
and returns in future seasons if entry points are not sealed.
The Right Way to Handle Wildlife Intrusion
- Humane wildlife removal
- Full inspection of the home
- Identification of all entry points
- Professional wildlife exclusion
- Cleanup when contamination is present
During colder months, raccoons, squirrels, birds, and opossums
are the most common wildlife issues we see throughout the
Oklahoma City metro area.
