(607NewsNow) — Raking up leaves, cleaning your gutters, and cutting back perennial plants can reveal possible signs of unwanted wildlife entering your home.

This October, make sure you stay diligent as you complete fall cleanup projects on your property. John Hatfield, wildlife management expert and founder of Wildlife Resolutions, says to look around the foundation of your home, check underneath decks, porches, and around utility penetrations, and scan along your rooflines for holes, gaps, droppings, nesting material, and other signs of wildlife activity.
