    Are Squirrels Driving You Nuts? Protect Your Home with Expert Wildlife Control

    Let's face it: squirrels are undeniably cute. From their playful antics on the fence to their curious visits to the porch, they effortlessly capture our attention. However, behind their adorable facade lies a more troublesome reality. Squirrels' cuteness can be deceptive, leading them to wreak havoc on our homes when given the chance. Learn how to see past their charm and recognize the potential threats these furry creatures pose.

    The Dual Nature of Squirrels

    While squirrels often evoke positive feelings and are considered nature's little helpers, there's another side to them that many overlook. As rodents, squirrels possess a relentless need to chew, which can spell trouble when they target our homes. From gnawing holes in rooflines and door frames to seeking shelter in attic spaces, squirrels can cause significant damage and create various problems for homeowners.

    Common Issues Caused by Squirrel Infestations

    1. Noise: Squirrels are active throughout the day, resulting in constant bumps and thumps, especially if they inhabit wall voids or attics.
    2. Bacterial Contamination: Squirrel waste, including urine and feces, can spread harmful bacteria and contaminate living spaces.
    3. Parasites: Infested squirrels may carry parasites like fleas, ticks, mites, and lice, posing additional health risks.
    4. Structural Damage: Beyond chewing on insulation and wood, squirrels can cause extensive damage if trapped inside a home.
    5. Rabies Threat: While not common, squirrels can carry and transmit rabies, making close contact with them risky, particularly for children.
