When is an uptick in new household formation BAD for home sales?

wildlifeWhen it’s the non-human kind.

According to a wildlife contractor I’m working with now, Fall is when juvenile squirrels, mice, and raccoons look to establish their own “new households.”

Unfortunately, their preferred real estate is often attics, crawl spaces and any other home cavities offering shelter from the elements.

Presumably, the same phenomenon applies to insects and spiders (yecchh!!).
