Common Problems Addressed
Scratching Noises in the Attic
One of the most common signs of a squirrel infestation is hearing scratching noises in your attic, especially during the early morning or late evening. Squirrels are most active during these times as they search for food and nesting materials. Ignoring these scratching noises can lead to significant damage to your insulation, wiring, and structural components.
Damage to Insulation
Squirrels often tear apart insulation to build nests, which can significantly reduce your home's energy efficiency. Damaged insulation leads to higher energy bills and makes it harder to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. Our removal and clean-up services include the removal of damaged insulation and the installation of new, energy-efficient materials.
Chewed Electrical Wiring
Squirrels have a habit of gnawing on electrical wiring, which can create a serious fire hazard. Exposed wires can also lead to power outages and costly repairs. Our entry point sealing services help prevent squirrels from accessing your wiring and causing damage.
Nesting in Gutters and Downspouts
Squirrels frequently build nests in gutters and downspouts, causing blockages that can lead to water damage. Clogged gutters can cause water to overflow, damaging your roof, siding, and foundation. Regular gutter maintenance and our entry point sealing services can help prevent squirrels from nesting in these areas.
Damaged Garden and Landscaping
Squirrels can cause significant damage to your garden and landscaping by digging up plants, eating fruits and vegetables, and destroying bird feeders. While we primarily focus on interior infestations, our preventative services can help reduce the attractiveness of your property to squirrels.
Foul Odors in Your Home
Squirrels leave behind droppings and urine, which can create unpleasant odors in your home, particularly in your attic or crawl spaces. These odors can attract other pests and pose health risks. Our attic clean-up and sanitization services eliminate these odors and create a healthier living environment.
