October Wildlife Invasion? Protect Your Delaware or Maryland Home Before It’s Too Late

As the crisp October air settles in, something else is stirring… and it’s not just Halloween decorations. This time of year, wildlife in Delaware and Maryland is on the move—and many animals are looking for warmth, shelter, and nesting spots inside your home.

At Bay Area Wildlife Solutions, we’ve seen a surge of animal intrusions in October, especially across towns like Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Ocean City, Easton, Millsboro, Georgetown, Dover, and the rest of Sussex, Kent, and Talbot counties.

Don’t let fall wildlife take over your home—October is the time to act.

Most Common October Wildlife Intrusions in DE & MD

October marks a transition for many animals preparing for winter. These are the top wildlife offenders we remove this month:

Squirrels nesting in attics in Milton, DE and Easton, MD

Raccoons invading chimneys in Georgetown, DE and Ocean Pines, MD

Bats forming roosts in attics in Dover and Salisbury

Mice and rats entering homes in Rehoboth, Seaford, and Berlin

Snakes sneaking into basements in Millsboro, Delmar, and Long Neck

Whether you live in rural Harbeson, suburban Ocean View, or historic Centreville, your home could be the next stop for unwanted animal guests.

Signs You Need Wildlife Removal in October

Be alert for:

  • Scratching or movement in the walls or ceiling
  • Droppings near attics, vents, or crawl spaces
  • Greasy rub marks along baseboards
  • Chewed wires, insulation, or food containers
  • Nests made of shredded paper, leaves, or insulation
  • Bats or birds flying near rooflines at dusk

If you’re seeing these signs in Bethany, Milford, Oxford, Queenstown, or Talbot County, it’s time to call a professional wildlife control company.
