As temperatures drop, wildlife look for food, warmth, and shelter — sometimes closer to our homes than we realize.
Here’s how you can help keep both people and animals safe:
Secure trash cans with tight-fitting lids
Bring pet food indoors — it can attract wildlife
Seal up entry points in attics, crawl spaces, and under decks
Provide fresh water safely away from your home
Drive carefully at dusk and dawn when animals are most active
Never feed, trap, or relocate wildlife — it can harm them and disrupt the ecosystem.
