Squirrels are agile and intelligent rodents known for their bushy tails and love for climbing. While they are fascinating to observe in the wild, having squirrels invade your home can lead to property damage and potential health concerns. Addressing squirrel issues promptly is crucial for the well-being of your home and family.
Squirrels enter homes in search of shelter and nesting sites, especially during colder months. They exploit vulnerabilities such as loose vents, gaps in roofing, or access points near attics. Squirrels are attracted to bird feeders, so having one close to your home may increase the likelihood of their presence.
Squirrels are exceptional climbers and jumpers, displaying acrobatic skills that set them apart from other rodents. They are active during the day and are known for their characteristic chattering and bushy tails. Squirrels may also store nuts and seeds in attics, leading to potential damage to insulation and electrical wiring.
Identifying squirrels involves recognizing their physical characteristics. Squirrels have a distinctive bushy tail, sharp claws for climbing, and a keen sense of curiosity. You may also notice gnaw marks on various objects, including wiring and insulation, indicating their presence.
Preventing squirrel invasions requires securing potential entry points. Seal any gaps or openings in your home's exterior, trim branches near the roof, and consider installing mesh or wire coverings over vents and chimney openings. Additionally, relocate bird feeders away from your home to reduce their attractiveness to squirrels.
