Signs of Invasive Squirrels
If you suspect squirrels have made a home on your property, watch for signs such as:
- Squirrels Lingering Outside: If you’re noticing more squirrels than usual surrounding your property, especially on your roof, it may be a sign there’s a growing squirrel infestation inside.
- Strange Noises: Listen for scratching or squeaking noises at dawn or dusk, particularly above your ceiling or behind your walls.
- Chewed Belongings: Squirrels will gnaw on just about anything they can find, including wooden furniture, drywall, flooring and electrical wires. They’ll also shred attic insulation for their nests.
- Droppings and Smell: Squirrel droppings are small, brown pellets that can be found along areas where they eat and nest. Squirrel waste will also produce a strong and foul ammonia-like smell.
The longer squirrels stick around, the more damage they can cause. Therefore, as soon as you notice any of these signs of a squirrel infestation, contact the pros at Critter Control® of Boston.
