The Dangers of a Squirrel Infestation

While they may seem harmless in your yard, squirrels become destructive and dangerous pests once they decide to nest inside your home. The damage they cause can be extensive and costly, and they can also introduce health risks to your family. Understanding these threats is key to seeing why immediate removal is necessary.

• Structural Wood Damage: To gain entry and within their nests, squirrels will chew through siding, fascia boards, soffits, and support beams, compromising the structural integrity of your home over time.
• Fire Hazard from Chewed Wires: As rodents, squirrels have teeth that constantly grow, compelling them to chew on hard objects. They frequently gnaw on electrical wiring, stripping the insulation and creating a serious fire hazard.
• Destroyed Insulation: Squirrels will shred and tear apart attic insulation to use as nesting material. This dramatically reduces your home's energy efficiency, leading to higher heating and cooling bills.
• Health and Sanitation Risks: Squirrels can carry parasites like fleas and ticks into your home. Their accumulated droppings and urine create unsanitary conditions and can soak into ceilings, causing stains and odors.

These issues will only worsen the longer the squirrels are allowed to remain. A professional removal and exclusion plan is the only way to effectively protect your property from this escalating damage.

Why DIY Squirrel Removal is a Bad Idea

Simply blocking a hole without ensuring all animals are out can trap a squirrel inside. A panicked, trapped animal can cause immense damage trying to escape and will eventually die, leading to a terrible odor and a new set of biohazard problems in your home.

Professionals are trained to identify every potential entry point, many of which are not obvious to a homeowner. Sealing only the main hole leaves your home vulnerable to re-infestation, as squirrels will simply find another weak spot on the roofline or foundation to exploit.

Handling wildlife can be dangerous. Squirrels can bite or scratch when they feel threatened, and working on ladders or rooftops poses a significant safety risk. A trained and insured professional has the equipment and experience to perform the job safely and effectively.
