Some wild animals immediately leave when they know that humans have already seen their hiding place. Raccoons and squirrels would easily move to another area when you shoo them away. However, there’s also that chance for them to come back. And if they don’t leave, perhaps they may have found the perfect shelter within your property. Waiting for them to leave may increase the chance of them to reproduce, which can lead to massive critter invasion. Furthermore, having wild animals around can be very dangerous for you, your kids, and your pets!
