Squirrels are a common sight outdoors, and they are often cute and fun to watch. However, they become a problem when they invade your home or business.

They can also carry diseases and parasites that can be harmful to humans and pets.

Signs of a Squirrel Infestation
- Droppings: Squirrels leave behind small, pellet-like droppings, often found in their nesting areas.
- Chew marks: Squirrels have a constant need to chew, so you may find chew marks on your electrical wires, insulation, or wood in your building.
- Strange smells: Squirrels have a distinct, musky odor that can be quite strong, especially if you have a large infestation.
- Nesting materials: Squirrels build nests out of leaves, twigs, and other materials. You may find these nests in your attic, walls, or crawl space.
- Scratching or scurrying sounds: Squirrels are very active and make a lot of noise when running around in your attic or walls.
How to Prevent Squirrels from Coming Back
- Install a chimney cap: Squirrels can easily get into your home through your chimney, and a study chimney cap can keep them out.
- Keep your gutters clean: Squirrels are excellent climbers, and they can easily access your roof by climbing up your gutters. Keeping your gutters clean and free of debris makes the gutters slicker and harder to climb.
- Store your firewood properly: Squirrels love to nest in firewood piles, so you should store your firewood at least 20 feet away from your home and at least 5 feet off the ground.
- Keep your garbage cans sealed: Squirrels love to root through your trash, so keep your garbage cans sealed and stored in a secure location.
