How Wild Animals Damage Your Home

Holes in soffits, fascia, roof-line and siding

Hole in fascia from squirrel damage Squirrels have strong teeth and will chew through soffit vents or fascia boards to gain entry. Once inside your attic or roof-line they may tear open insulation or chew wiring. Bats often enter through holes left by squirrels or woodpeckers rather than creating openings themselves. Woodpeckers may peck small holes in fascia or siding as they search for insects or drum for territory. That pecking is often obvious on your siding or roof-line.

These entry points can let in rain, snow, wind or insulating damage. They also make it easy for other pests or wildlife.

Wall and siding damage

Once inside, squirrels and mice gnaw wooden siding or penetrate walls with rodent‑like tooth marks. Woodpeckers leave drilled holes that are visually obvious and can eventually let water in. This damages your exterior finish, leads to rot or mold growth, and reduces energy efficiency.

Yard damage by raccoons, moles and voles

Raccoons may dig up gardens, disturb mulch or turn over pet food bowls. Their digging creates holes near your foundation, landscaping beds or lawn lamps. Voles and moles tunnel through grass and flowerbeds—creating visible tracks or raised ridges in lawns and gardens. This root‑feeding behavior kills grass, damages bulbs, and undermines property aesthetics.

Identifying the Culprit Animal

Start by carefully observing the damage:

Squirrel damage often shows irregular gnaw marks around soffits, fascia or siding near the roofline.
Bat entry is usually through existing holes; guano or droppings in attic corners may indicate their presence.
Woodpecker holes are clean, round or oblong drilled holes in wood fascia or siding.
Raccoon disturbance in the yard or near garbage bins, often accompanied by hand‑like digging marks.
Mole or vole tunnels appear as raised linear tracks or blotchy patches where turf is chewed down.

Identifying the animal is key to planning appropriate repair and prevention steps.

Why Acting Quickly Matters
