The Dangers of a Squirrel Infestation

When squirrels decide to make your attic their home, they bring more than just annoying noises. These rodents can cause significant and costly damage and create serious health and safety risks for your family. Ignoring a squirrel problem can lead to a cascade of issues that threaten the integrity and safety of your property.

Be aware of the primary dangers associated with a squirrel infestation:

• Extreme Fire Hazard: Squirrels have a constant need to gnaw to keep their teeth filed. They frequently chew on electrical wiring, stripping the insulation and creating a severe risk of a house fire.
• Destroyed Insulation: Squirrels will tear, shred, and flatten attic insulation to build their nests. This damage drastically reduces your home's energy efficiency, leading to higher heating and cooling bills.
• Contamination and Odors: Squirrels use the attic as a latrine, leaving behind droppings and urine that can seep into ceilings, create foul odors, and foster mold growth.
• Introduction of Parasites: Squirrels can carry fleas, ticks, and mites into your home, which can then spread to your family members and pets, creating a secondary pest problem.
• Structural Damage: Over time, squirrels can chew on wooden support beams, fascia boards, and shingles, compromising the structural integrity of your roof and creating more entry points for other pests.

These risks make it crucial to address a squirrel presence in your home as quickly as possible with the help of a professional.

Why Professional Squirrel Control is Essential

Attempting to handle a squirrel infestation on your own can be ineffective and even dangerous. DIY traps are often improperly placed, failing to capture the animals, while repellents like mothballs or loud noises are almost always useless against a squirrel that has already established a nest.

The most critical part of squirrel control is exclusion, which involves finding and sealing every potential entry point. A professional has the training and equipment to safely access high areas on a roof and knows how to identify subtle gaps that an untrained eye would miss, preventing future infestations.

Furthermore, professionals are knowledgeable about local wildlife regulations and are equipped to handle animals humanely and safely, avoiding potential injury to both the homeowner and the animal. For a permanent and safe solution, professional expertise is not just a benefit; it is a necessity.
