Squirrels are one of the most common types of critters in Weston, MA and the Greater Boston area. While they can seem cute and harmless as you watch them scamper through a park or up a tree, they can quickly become a nuisance if they make their way inside your Weston home or business. Fortunately, the squirrel removal professionals at Critter Control® of Boston are here to help.
Common Signs of Invasive Squirrels
Thanks to their small size, invasive squirrels can go largely undetected in your Weston property. However, there are a few signs to watch out for if you suspect squirrels are nesting inside. You may have a growing squirrel problem if:
- You see more squirrels than usual lingering around your property, particularly on your roof
- You hear scratching, squeaking or scampering noises coming from behind your ceiling or walls
- You spot gnaw or scratch marks on wooden furniture, plastic materials, flooring or drywall
- You notice shreds of insulation, paper or cardboard throughout your attic or property
- You find small, brown droppings on the floors of kitchen or food preparation areas
- You smell a strong ammonia-like odor in your property near your attic, garage, or kitchen
To avoid costly and unsanitary property damage, contact the squirrel removal experts at Critter Control® of Boston as soon as you notice any of these signs of squirrels.
The Damage of a Weston Squirrel Infestation
While squirrels are often harmless, they can pose a serious risk to both your property and your health. Because squirrels’ teeth constantly grow, they’ll gnaw on any material they can find to dull them down. Such uncontrollable gnawing will result in property damage to critical parts of your home’s infrastructure, putting its structural integrity at risk. Additionally, squirrels can spread contamination and dangerous diseases to humans and pets through both direct and indirect contact. Although at-home squirrel removal may seem like the quickest and most effective option, it’s only a temporary solution. For permanent results, leave squirrel removal to the experts at Critter Control® of Boston.
