Why Squirrels Can Be a Big Problem in Your Home
Squirrels might look cute, but when they get into your home, they can cause serious and expensive damage. Understanding why they're attracted to your space and the risks they pose is the first step in keeping your home safe.
What kind of damage can squirrels cause?

Squirrels often chew on electrical wiring, which can create fire hazards. They also damage insulation, wooden structures, and can contaminate attics with their droppings and urine.
How do squirrels get into homes?

They can squeeze through small openings, chew through fascia boards, soffits, or even climb down chimneys. Gaps in roofing or damaged vents are common entry points.
Are squirrels dangerous to humans or pets?

While generally not aggressive, squirrels can bite or scratch if they feel threatened. They can also carry diseases like leptospirosis and salmonellosis, which can be transmitted through their waste.
What attracts squirrels to my house?

They are often looking for shelter, especially during colder months or when they need a safe place to nest. Food sources like bird feeders, fruit trees, and accessible garbage can also draw them in.
How can I prevent squirrels from entering?

Seal all entry points, trim tree branches away from your roof, secure garbage cans, and consider using squirrel-proof bird feeders. Regular home maintenance is key.
The Squirrel Problem: Why DIY and Generic Pest Control Just Don't Cut It
Squirrels are smart, resilient, and determined. When they decide your home is their new nest, getting rid of them is harder than you might think. Many homeowners try DIY methods or call a general pest control service, only to find the problem quickly returns. Let's look at why these approaches often fall short.
Homeowner's Dilemma
Challenge: The Persistent Intruder
Many homeowners find squirrels in their attics, walls, or even chimneys. These aren't just cute backyard animals; they can cause significant damage, from chewing electrical wires to contaminating insulation with urine and feces. The immediate reaction is often to try to scare them away or use basic traps.
Solution: Not as Simple as It Seems
DIY methods rarely work long-term. Squirrels are highly adaptable and will quickly find new ways back in if entry points aren't properly secured. Plus, trapping without proper relocation can be illegal or harmful to the animal, and often, more squirrels will simply move in to fill the void.

General Pest Control
Challenge: Not Specialized Enough
Many general pest control companies focus on insects and rodents like mice or rats. While some may offer squirrel removal, their methods might not be specialized enough for these particular critters. Squirrels require a different approach than typical pests due to their intelligence and protective instincts.
Solution: Expertise is Key
A general pest control technician might set traps but often lacks the detailed knowledge of squirrel behavior, nesting habits, and the specific entry points they exploit. They might not perform the thorough inspection and exclusion work needed to prevent re-entry, leading to recurring problems and wasted money.
