How Much Damage Can Squirrels Cause

Squirrels seek food and shelter in a warm location during the winter months. Not only do they look for warmth to get away from the winter months but, they seek a warm place to reproduce. Squirrels are excellent climbers; therefore, your home is no obstacle for them with the change of modern day society which is growing at a rapid pace.

Squirrels gain access into your attic by gnawing into your roof material, vinyl siding, wooden beams, or soffit of your home. Once they reach their destination, they'll get to work gnawing on wires, ripping through installation to build their nest, and scrounge around looking for food. Not to mention their urine and feces they leave as well.

The damage squirrels do, to your biggest investment, can be significant. The wires they gnaw on can short out and spark which could cause a fire. Installation is no longer good because while the squirrels were building

their nest and leaving their urine and fecal behind. A guest you invite over would be able to smell the scent from the contaminated installation which is very strong and unpleasant, also other squirrels will be able to smell the scent and invite themselves over as well. Not only do squirrels leave a bad scent; however, they could carry Lyme positive ticks into your home as well as other diseases which could be harmful to you, your family, and your including pets.
