Commonly seen racing around trees in search of food, squirrels can quickly become a problem if they decide to nest inside your Monroeville home or business. Squirrels choose to nest inside Greater Pittsburgh area properties because they provide a safe, quiet space that’s both away from predators and close to food and water sources. Dealing with invasive squirrels requires fast and efficient squirrel removal efforts to prevent costly property damages. If you discover squirrels inside your Monroeville property, call the squirrel removal professionals at Critter Control® of Pittsburgh.
Common Signs of Squirrels on your Monroeville Property
Squirrels may be quick, but their activity can be easy to spot. Look out for the following if you suspect you’re dealing with a growing squirrel infestation:
- Noise: Squirrels will make scratching, squealing or scurrying noises as they move in and out of your property. Listen for these sounds coming from your attic or behind your walls.
- Property Damage: Squirrels’ teeth grow constantly, so they will gnaw on any material they can find. Look for chew marks on wooden furniture, insulation, or around your walls. You may also see small, oily stains on your walls or ceiling.
- Hazards: The serious property damage caused by squirrels can also lead to fire hazards and structural damage when they chew through electrical wires and critical wooden support beams. Squirrels can also spread disease and illnesses by contaminating food with their droppings.
- Droppings: Look for small, black droppings around your floor, particularly in areas where food is stored.
- Smells: When squirrels are nesting inside, you may notice a foul, ammonia-like smell coming from your attic or walls.
As soon as you notice any of these signs, contact the wildlife experts at Critter Control® of Pittsburgh.
