Tracks & Droppings
Small, five-toed footprints and scattered feces near entry points.
Foul Odors

Great experience. Drake's Wildlife Services was quick with responses, honest and open about pricing, and once I asked to schedule an appointment they got me in within the same week. I was recommended to them by a friend and I would recommend them to anyone who asks.
