How Common Is It To Have Squirrels In Your Attic?:
We have been in the wildlife removal business for more than 13 years. We estimate that at least 3 out of every 10 homes or businesses have nuisance wildlife living in the attics or crawl spaces. Whether it’s grey squirrels, flying squirrels, bats, rats, mice, raccoons, birds, or opossums, there’s a chance that some critter has chosen to set up camp in your home. Of the animals listed squirrels and bats are the two most common that we remove from attics.
How Would I Know If Squirrels Are Living In My Attic?:
Most calls for service we receive are from homeowners hearing noises coming from up in their attics. They may be hearing squirrels running back and forth across the ceiling, scratching or chewing sounds, or the occasional thump on the ceiling. Many times customers hear sounds moving or scratching in the walls. Depending on what it is, these sounds can be heard in the early morning or evening (when squirrels are most active), in the middle of the night, or throughout the afternoon. Animals like rats, bats, and raccoons are nocturnal while grey squirrels and birds are most active during the day.
Can’t I Just Let Squirrels Live In My Attic?:
The short answer is, yes you can. However, we do not recommend that you ignore squirrels that are in your attic. All animals, including squirrels, will leave feces and urine in your attic while living there. Their feces and urine can cause health issues by spreading dangerous germs and diseases to your family and pets. Additionally, squirrels will destroy your attic insulation by trampling and matting it down greatly diminishing the energy efficiency it provides. Squirrels commonly chew on the wood framing and electrical wires in attics, walls, and crawl spaces which will eventually cause costly electrical repairs and even structural fires. And of course, the noises squirrels make will continue to annoy you and even keep you awake at night.
How Do I Resolve A Squirrel Issue At My Home?:
You should deal with squirrels living in your attic when you first realize the issue. The longer you wait the more damage squirrels do and the more costly it will become to repair. Hiring a professional wildlife control company is always your best option. Safely handling and removing squirrels can be challenging. Squirrels will bite, scratch, and fight to protect themselves. Understanding the various ways in which squirrels find their way into your attic or crawl space takes years of experience. Knowing the proper ways to seal off the common access points so squirrels cannot regain entry back inside also requires expertise. Many of these corrections are performed high up on the rooftops and require specialized safety equipment and experience is needed.
