Local Highlands Squirrel Removal And Control Company

Some people think of squirrels as a long tail rat. It depends on your point of view. The bottom line is that they often take refuge in attics. Trees will do, but attics offer all the amenities that they could ask for. Your attic is an ideal venue for wood chewing and nest building. They also like to chew on pipes, wires and heating ducts. It’s hard to find a tree with pipes and HVAC ducts. That’s why you don’t want them living in your home or business attic. The incessant sound of chewing, scratching and scampering can also keep you from getting a decent night’s sleep. They can really make a racket as they run across your ceiling and along the eves of your building.

Replacing insulation and other building materials can be expensive, but it’s their habit of chewing on electric wires that pose the greatest danger. They create a definite fire hazard. They also litter your attic with flammable nesting materials, not to mention the feces and urine they leave behind. Mold producing wild animal feces and urine are known causes of respiratory disease. They also build nests in chimneys. They often get stuck and can be heard scratching feverishly. They belong outside.

Most squirrels are gray, but some are black, brown or red. They only weigh about one pound, but they can sure do a lot of damage in a short period of time. Did you know that the females give birth to a litter of babies twice a year, one in late summer and another during the winter? Each litter brings three or four babies into the world. That’s only one of many reasons you don’t want them in the attic.

It’s important that you get rid of their babies before they start chewing up electrical fixtures, wiring, roof braces, support beams, electrical fixtures and anything else they can get their teeth on. They chew to trim and sharpen their teeth. They also carry fleas and parasites. The Critter Team will remove them from your home or business in a safe and humane manner.
