Squirrel Identification
Squirrels belong to the rodent family and are recognized by their bushy tails. They sport gray to brown fur, with a lighter white underside and silver-tipped hairs on their tails. Preferring tree habitats, they are primarily active during daylight hours, consuming a variety of foods such as bark and berries. Squirrels store food in multiple spots for future use, showcasing their impressive capacity to remember thousands of hidden food reserves.
Issues Caused by Squirrels
Once squirrels manage to enter, they pose a significant threat to the belongings stored in your attic. They gnaw through cardboard boxes (along with their contents), wooden structures, and even electrical wiring. This behavior not only causes irreparable damage to your personal items but also creates a potential fire risk. They engage in tearing, relocating, and burrowing to establish their nests, leading to widespread urination and defecation. Additionally, their constant movement compacts the insulation. Consequently, this diminishes the insulation's effectiveness, thereby lowering your home's energy efficiency. To mitigate these issues, prompt squirrel removal is crucial.
