Signs of a Squirrel Infestation

Squirrels are persistent and destructive, making early detection crucial to preventing costly repairs. They are most active in the early morning and just before dusk. If you suspect you have a squirrel problem, it is important to look and listen for these common indicators.

• Noises in the Attic: The most common sign is hearing scampering, running, or scratching sounds coming from your ceiling or walls.
• Chew Marks: Look for gnaw marks on wooden beams, siding, eaves, and especially around entry points. They must chew constantly to manage their teeth.
• Damaged Wires: Squirrels frequently chew on electrical wiring, creating a dangerous fire risk.
• Nesting Materials: In your attic, you may find insulation that has been torn apart, shredded, and piled up to create nests.
• Exterior Damage: Check your roofline, vents, and gables for holes or damage where they may be gaining entry.

If any of these signs are familiar, do not ignore them. The damage will only get worse over time. Professional intervention is the safest way to assess the situation.

Why DIY Squirrel Trapping Is a Bad Idea

Trapping squirrels is not as simple as setting a cage. If you trap a mother, you may unknowingly leave her babies behind in the attic to die, which is inhumane and creates a new set of problems, such as terrible odors and secondary pests.

Simply trapping one squirrel and removing it does not solve the problem. The entry points are still open, and the scent markings will quickly attract new squirrels or other wildlife to move right back into the vacant space.

Handling wildlife is inherently risky. Squirrels can become very aggressive when cornered and may bite or scratch. They can also carry fleas, ticks, or diseases. Professionals have the right safety gear and training to handle these animals safely.
