Common Attic Entry Points in Norman Homes

Small openings where rooflines meet siding are one of the most common entry points.
Soffits & Fascia
Weakened or rotted areas can be chewed or pushed open by animals like squirrels and raccoons.
Roof Vents
Plastic or damaged vents are easy targets and often lead directly into the attic.

Why This Happens in Norman
Homes across Norman—especially near the University of Oklahoma—often have:
- Mature trees hanging over rooflines
- Aging construction materials
- Easy access from fences, garages, or nearby structures
Areas near Lake Thunderbird State Park also create ideal wildlife pressure, increasing the chances of animals finding and using entry points.
Why Finding the Entry Point Matters
If the entry point isn’t properly sealed:
- Animals will return
- New animals will move in
- The problem becomes ongoing
This is why removal alone doesn’t solve the issue—exclusion is the key to stopping it permanently.
