Missouri's climate creates distinct wildlife seasons. Hot summers can drive animals like rodents and snakes to seek cooler areas, sometimes near homes. Cold winters encourage animals like raccoons and squirrels to find warm shelter indoors. Many homes in the St. Louis area and surrounding cities are older, with potential entry points into attics and basements. We are familiar with the wildlife common to Missouri and its seasonal behaviors.
