Squirrel damage in your home, business and to your health
Grey squirrels can cause damage when they enter roof spaces of houses and buildings. For example, they can:
Gnaw on woodwork and ceilings
Strip insulation from electrical wires
Tear up fibreglass insulation
Contaminate cold water tanks and attic space with urine and droppings.
People also report sleep issues due to the loud noises they make at night while they’re scuttling around your attic.
Squirrels are most active before sunrise, especially in winter. Their peak activity is activity is four-five hours before daybreak.
Grey squirrels often associate humans with food, meaning they sometime approach people. Some people fear being attacked, however it’s very rare for a squirrel to actually attack!
Squirrel’s have powerful teeth that are constantly grow. They use their strong bite to chew openings into your attic through soffits, fascias and vents. The truth is that many of the materials used to construct our houses, including aluminum, vinyl and wood are no match for a squirrel’s teeth, and with small bodies they only need a two inch gap to squeeze inside. Their job is made easier as our homes age and deteriorate from weather damage such as rotten wood.
