Squirrels can chew through 2x4s in your Attic

Squirrels are cute creatures that we all see on a regular basis. Whether they are cutting across the roadway as we drive or scurrying up a tree, squirrels are creatures we are accustomed to. While seeing squirrels outside is a common occurrence, we are not used to seeing the creature inside our homes. However, squirrels do like to gain entry into the home via attic spaces and make a nest. The squirrels will begin to wreak havoc on the home, destroying your property as well as becoming a nuisance as they run within the walls and ceilings of your home.

Do you have a Squirrel Problem?

Do you think that squirrels have gained entry into your home? Have you been hearing a scurrying noise in the walls or along the attic space? Have you actually seen a squirrel in your home? Squirrels in the attic are truly pests that must be removed. Squirrels can damage your home in several ways that will cost you both time and money. Squirrels like to chew things and one of the first things they begin to chew in the attic are the 2x4s that hold up the pitch of your roof. These supports will have to be replaced which can cost a pretty penny. Without replacement, you may be at risk to additional damage to your home.

Squirrels will also urinate and leave feces behind in your attic. This can lead to a stinky space as well as a breeding ground for disease. Once the squirrels have been removed by a wildlife professional, the area will be need to be cleaned appropriately to ensure a healthy environment. The wildlife professional will be able to provide you with a plan for cleanup to remove such issues in the space.

 Squirrel Removal

 If you find that you have squirrels in your home, you will need to contact pest control Oakville. The pest control experts will be able to evaluate your space and determine if squirrels are the problem. If squirrels are found in the home, the experts will find their entry point and come up with a plan for removal as well as keep the problem from happening again.

For squirrels, humane traps may need to be set along the entry points to be able to catch the quick creatures. It may take a few days for each of the squirrels that are living in your home are caught, but once removed, the entry points will be sealed in a way that they still function properly but squirrels cannot gain entry. For example, a vent will have a grated plate added to the top so it can still function but the holes are small enough that a squirrel cannot get inside. This will keep the problem from happening again in your home,
