Which additional wildlife is problematic in Michigan?

Michigan is home to a variety of wildlife — and unfortunately, several species love taking up residence in homes, especially during cooler months or breeding season.

Here are a few common culprits:

• Raccoons – Strong, clever, and often aggressive, raccoons will tear through soffits or roof vents to nest in attics. They're also known for tipping over trash bins and spreading messes.
• Bats – Often found roosting in attics, especially older homes with small entry gaps. They’re protected in Michigan, so removal must follow strict rules — especially during maternity season.
• Opossums – These scavengers can nest under decks or sheds. While not typically aggressive, they can carry parasites and create odor issues.
• Mice & Rats – Small but mighty troublemakers. Once inside, they multiply rapidly and chew through insulation, wires, and even food packaging.
• Groundhogs (Woodchucks) – Known for digging extensive burrow systems under porches, sheds, or foundations, which can destabilize structures.

Titus Restoration specializes in identifying, cleaning up after, and repairing the mess left behind by these unwelcome visitors — all while keeping safety and humane practices in mind.
