In a Tight Spot?
Have you ever found an animal or rodent in your house and wondered how they got in? You might be surprised to learn that many animals can fit into impossibly smaller spaces. In fact, if a #2 pencil can fit inside a hole or crack, so can a mouse!
Don't let the fluff fool you! Most of these animals are much smaller than they seem, and their only limitation in squeezing through holes is actually their head! Here's how small of an opening these animals can fit through:
- Mice - 1/4" (0.64 cm)
- Bats - 3/8" (0.95 cm)
- Rats - Young, slender rats need only 1/2" (1.27 cm). Older, fatter rats need 1" (2.54 cm)
- Squirrels - 1.5" (3.81 cm)
- Cats - 3" (7.62 cm)
- Raccoons - 4" (10.16 cm)
