Not every surprise on a pest inspection is unpleasant. Sometimes, a little dose of cuteness hops into the picture—literally.
During a recent PestNation inspection, our technician was moving through a residential yard when a small bunny suddenly appeared from the grass. After a brief pause (and some aww-worthy reactions), we found a small burrow nearby: a baby bunny hideaway nestled right into the landscaping.
Why Wildlife Encounters Matter
Though adorable, wildlife like rabbits can still cause issues around a home:
Burrowing: Rabbits and other small mammals may dig near foundations, AC units, or fences.
Nesting in Crawlspaces: Entry points can lead to critters setting up nests in attics or beneath homes.
Attracting Predators: Where there are bunnies, predators may follow.
What Should Homeowners Do?
Don't Disturb Nests: Especially in spring and early summer, many small animals are caring for young. If safe, leave the nest alone.
Monitor for Damage: Check areas where wildlife frequent for gnawing, digging, or entry holes.
Call for Guidance: PestNation can help assess the situation and recommend safe solutions.
