Common Problems Caused by Squirrels and Signs You Need Professional Squirrel Removal
Squirrels might seem harmless, but their presence in and around your property can lead to a multitude of problems. Recognizing these issues early can save you time, money, and potential health hazards.
Chewed Electrical Wiring
Squirrels have an insatiable need to gnaw, and electrical wiring is often a prime target. This can lead to short circuits, power outages, and even increased risk of electrical fires. Replacing damaged wiring is a costly endeavor that can disrupt daily life and business operations. Squirrels, being rodents, have teeth that constantly grow. To keep them worn down, they need to chew on hard materials. Electrical wiring is often accessible and provides a suitable chewing surface, leading to significant damage and potential hazards. Our squirrel removal service includes identifying and repairing any electrical damage caused by squirrels. We also implement preventative measures to protect your wiring in the future.
Damaged Insulation
Squirrels often tear apart insulation to build nests, reducing its effectiveness and leading to higher energy bills. Damaged insulation can also create cold spots and damp conditions, which may encourage mold growth. As squirrels create nests they like to pick apart your insulation to use in the creation of these nests so that they can have a home on your property. This is a major problem for homeowners and property owners alike who end up with tons of damage caused by these pests. Our squirrel control services can help you get rid of these animals for good! Our team can get in and remove, and repair the damage to insulation that these pests have done.
Roof and Structural Damage
Squirrels can cause extensive structural damage to your roof, siding, and other parts of your property. They often create entry points by chewing through weak spots or enlarging existing cracks and holes. Over time, this can compromise the structural integrity of your building and lead to costly repairs. Squirrels might start by finding a small opening or weak spot in your roof or siding. They then use their strong teeth and claws to widen the area, creating access points to your attic or walls. This constant gnawing can break down the materials, leading to leaks, wood rot, and other structural problems. Our service includes identifying and sealing these entry points to prevent future infestations, alongside repairing any damage that has already occurred.
Contamination from Droppings and Urine
Squirrel droppings and urine can contaminate insulation, walls, and other surfaces, creating unsanitary and unhealthy conditions. These contaminants can attract other pests, spread diseases, and cause unpleasant odors. Squirrels, like many animals, leave behind droppings and urine wherever they go. These waste products can contain bacteria, viruses, and parasites that pose health risks to humans. If these contaminants accumulate in enclosed spaces like attics, they can release unpleasant odors and contribute to poor indoor air quality. Our sanitation and decontamination services ensure that affected areas are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to remove these health hazards.
Noises in Walls and Ceilings
Hearing scurrying, scratching, or chewing noises in your walls or ceilings is a clear sign that squirrels have taken up residence. These noises can be disruptive, especially at night, and indicate that squirrels are actively nesting and causing damage within your property. The sounds of squirrels moving around, building nests, and exploring within your walls and ceilings can be quite unsettling. These noises are often more pronounced during dawn and dusk when squirrels are most active. Beyond the annoyance, these sounds indicate that squirrels are causing damage and potentially creating unsanitary conditions. Our inspection services pinpoint the exact location of squirrel activity, allowing us to implement targeted removal and exclusion strategies.
