Inside Your Home
from Ducks Unlimited's Puddler magazine Winter 2001
 

Does this picture look familiar? It shows part of someone's home. What are all those animals doing in there? Some find their way in from outside. Others arrive inside packages of food, clothing and other products. Once they're in, they often stay. Most are small and shy. Few are dangerous to people or ruin the things they own. Still, people usually think of these animals as pests: unwanted house guests. Of course, many people bring animals in the house as pets! From pests to pets, you can find animal life almost anywhere you look in your home.
