Squirrels are one of the six most common types of invasive wildlife found in the Greater Pittsburgh area. While they may seem harmless, squirrels can quickly become a nuisance if they make their way inside your Bethel Park home or business. Squirrel infestations can cause extensive property damage in a short amount of time as the pests build nests and chew through critical infrastructure and materials, such as insulation, plastic piping and electrical wires. Squirrels can also pose a health risk by spreading contamination and dangerous diseases to pets and humans. If you have nuisance squirrels on your property, here is why you should contact the squirrel removal experts at Critter Control® of Pittsburgh.
Common Signs of Invasive Squirrels
It’s important to recognize the signs of a squirrel infestation, so you can stop the problem before it starts. Common signs of squirrels living inside your Bethel Park property include:
- Scratching, squeaking or scurrying noises from the attic or behind walls, particularly during the morning or at night
- Small, greasy stains on your walls and along floors near entry points
- A strong, ammonia-like scent coming from your attic or walls
- Small, black droppings, especially in areas that store food
The longer squirrels have time to nest and breed inside your Bethel Park home or business, the more property damage they can cause. As soon as you recognize any signs of a squirrel infestation, call professionals at Critter Control® of Pittsburgh.
