If you think you have an animal nesting in your house, but you are not quite sure what Missouri animal it is, you can identify them through the feces that they will leave behind. You should be careful in analyzing the feces of these animals since there are health issues related with their droppings. Wear gloves and face masks when cleaning them to avoid inhaling the bacterial and fungal spores that may cause illnesses.

List of Springfield Animals That Will Poop inside the Building
Apart from the droppings of the animals, you should also pay attention to the other signs of their presence such as the strange noises in your attic and the damages in your yard. Proper identification will help you create an integrated control method.



Bats
Bats love dark and dim places that will resemble the setting of the cave. They will roost in the trees and in the cliff, but they will also sometimes invade the obscure and dark areas of our house such as our barn, chimney and attic. While the bat guano can fertilize the land, it can also carry heaps of pathogens that may cause serious illnesses. The size of the bat guano will be less than 1 inch, but an accumulation of the bat guano can cause our attic to collapse.

Raccoon
The raccoon will invade our attic during the winter season to escape the biting cold. The scat of the raccoon will resemble the appearance of the cat’s feces. However, you will notice that there are remains of undigested food in their poop. Raccoon feces may contain roundworms that may cause respiratory infection. You may use an enzyme cleaner when cleaning the droppings of the raccoons in your attic.

Mice and Rats
The mice and the rats are perhaps one of the most common animals that we will find inside our home. Millions of homeowners all over the world will have to deal with their infestation on a yearly basis. Their droppings can sometimes be found close to their den and their food source. You will also notice that your insulation has been contaminated with their urine and feces. They can also invade our cabinets and kitchen drawers.

Pigeons
With regards to zoonotic diseases, the pigeons are known to be the carrier of at least 60 illnesses that can be transferred to humans. One way to transfer the disease is through their droppings. Accumulation of their poop will not only cause disease, but it is also highly damaging to the structure due to its corrosive properties. They are highly dependent to humans; therefore, they will choose to establish their nest close to us. Simple preventative measures can help you assure that your property will remain free from the droppings of these animals. Cleaning and the decontamination of your property will be tough and laborious. If you don’t want to find yourself in that mess, be sure to seal all the entry holes that they can use to access your property.
