Cold weather can bring unexpected house guests

Unexpected house guests can become an issue with winter weather and the drop in temperatures.

Wildlife expert Marcus Mueller says mice and squirrels are looking for a warm place to be.

"An animal is looking for that shelter. Different animals require different shelter needs. A squirrel is looking to build a warm nest. Bats are looking for a place over winter, like our attics."

Sealing any possible entry points is a good way to keep them out. Store your food in air-tight containers and remove any clutter that could provide a nesting area.
