Wildlife Problems in Fayetteville, NC

While residents of Fayetteville, NC, see mild weather year-round, sudden drops in temperature may drive animals into homes. Shrinking habitats and overpopulation also bring wildlife into urban and suburban areas of the city.

Squirrels in the Attic

The eastern gray squirrel thrives across Fayetteville, denning in backyard trees and running along phone lines. Though they nest in branches and tree cavities, squirrels also like safe, quiet attics. These rodents rip window screens and crawl through broken vents to enter homes.

Bat Problems

Seeking shelter or a place to raise their young, bats may break into Fayetteville houses to roost. The pests make noises as they come and go throughout the night, and they leave large amounts of droppings indoors. In addition, disease-causing Histoplasma mold often develops in bat guano.

Raccoons and Disease

Raccoons and bats are the two animals most likely to carry rabies in North Carolina. Transmitted through bites and scratches, this virus can affect humans as well as pets. As a result, even a single raccoon in an attic, crawl space, or outbuilding is a serious issue.

Fayetteville Predators

Homeowners may also see coyotes and foxes in their yards. These pests hunt rabbits and other small prey in North Carolina neighborhoods. Though coyote and fox attacks are rare, the animals will lash out if threatened.

River Rodents

The Cape Fear River flows through Fayetteville, NC, and brings with it plenty of rodent pests. Rats and mice seek shelter in homes, squeezing through cracks and building nests in attics or wall voids. Indoors, these pests contaminate stored grains, meats, and pet food.

After storms, reports of rodent bites usually increase. Flooding often damages rat dens, which forces the pests to higher ground and puts them in conflict with humans. Rat bites can spread a number of diseases, including hantavirus, leptospirosis, and rat-bite fever.

Snakes in Fayetteville

The wetlands, lakes, and dams in Fayetteville are also inviting to snakes. North Carolina residents should use caution when reaching under logs or debris, as these pests often hide in dark, cramped quarters and will bite in self-defense.

The state's six venomous species are easy to mistake for harmless varieties. Therefore, local residents should treat any snake bite as a serious health concern.
