- Damage to the soffits, the vents, and the roofline — entry points chewed or pulled open.
- Garbage and bird feeder disturbance — raccoons and opossums working the food sources.
- Noises in the walls and the chimney — animals that have found a route into the structure.
Why Bayfield homes get wildlife
The clay and sandy loam that surrounds Bayfield is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what wildlife need to thrive. The the Front Range, high plains, and mountain valleys adds harborage, and the semi-arid climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the South Platte and Arkansas rivers and mountain reservoirs see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
