Start with what you can safely observe. A few clear details can help a provider understand the activity before an assessment.
Give wildlife space
Keep people and pets away from the area. Watch from a safe distance; avoid approaching an animal or reaching into an opening. Leave suspected entry points as they are until they can be assessed.
Note the signs
Write down where you hear movement and the times it happens. From the ground, note visible gaps or damage around the roofline. A photo taken from a safe position can help you describe what you’ve noticed.
Plan an assessment
Share your observations when you request a quote. Ask the provider how they will check the entry area, explain humane exclusion options and recommend prevention work before you agree to a next step.
