• 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 Priest River homes get wildlife

The volcanic loam and sandy soil that surrounds Priest River is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what wildlife need to thrive. The the Snake River Plain, mountains, and high desert 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 Snake River and mountain reservoirs see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
