We have a wooded area across from our house that a developer has recently purchased to build townhouses on. I am ok with the building that will take place, but should I be concerned about what kind of animals might be coming out of the woods when their homes are displaced once the land starts being cleared? We already had one problem with armadillos that I assumed came from there. We took care of them, but I’m a little nervous about anything else that may need a place to go and decide that mine and my neighbors’ yards are it. Has anyone else experienced something like this?
Depending on where you live (and since you mentioned armadillos I assume you’re in the south??) check with your local wildlife preservation group or with the forrest rangers and see what they know.

It depends on what other surrounding areas are available for the “critters”. I live in a wooded area that is populating quickly. It seems that for a little while after an area is disturbed animals will be confused and not know where to go. But if there is any other wooded areas around they will find them. But I also agree with the first answer, you should call your local forestry conservation service if any animals become a problem.
