Wildlife in Your Crawlspace
Many NC homes have vented crawlspaces that are magnets for wildlife. Raccoons, opossums, snakes, and rodents use them as dens, damaging vapor barriers, tearing insulation, and contaminating the space.
How Animals Get In
- Damaged foundation vent screens
- Open or broken access doors
- Gaps in brick or block foundations
- Where utilities enter
- Damaged underpinning
