Where Squirrels Hide

Squirrels are expert climbers that can squeeze through openings as small as a baseball, gaining access to your attic or walls via vents, soffits, chimneys, or damaged fascia. Once inside, they create nests in insulation, within eaves or between walls, using leaves, twigs, and insulation to build a cozy habitat . They may also infiltrate crawl spaces and tree hollows close to your home, establishing nests and giving birth there.

Damage to Property

  • Structural and Exterior Wear: Persistent chewing on soffits, fascia, siding, vents, gutters, and shingles can cause water infiltration and weakened structures
  • Electrical & Fire Hazards: Squirrels frequently chew through electrical insulation, risking short-circuits and fires in attics or power lines.
  • Interior Contamination: Nesting materials, droppings, and urine foul insulation, drywall, and HVAC systems—leading to unpleasant odors and potential mold issues
  • Landscaping & Garden Destruction: Squirrels dig for bulbs, strip bark off trees, and raid vegetable patches, causing aesthetic and structural plant damage.
