Wildlife Feces Habits
Wildlife animals tend to have many habits when it comes to defecating, and both present serious health hazards for homeowners.
Raccoons and squirrels typically use a single area to excrete waste.
- Smaller rodents like rats and mice will excrete feces as they run through your home.

Raccoon/Squirrel Feces
Raccoon feces and squirrel droppings are commonly discovered in attics. Depending on your wildlife control problem, there may be an extensive mess of wildlife droppings in the attic, or the feces may be difficult to uncover (animals sometimes cover their waste). The area the wildlife animal used as a bathroom will obviously be unhygienic and a source of disease.
