6 Signs You Have a Sneaky Squirrel Infestation
Cumming, United States - May 13, 2024 / Simpleman Digital Marketing /
CUMMING, GA – Catch A Critter, a leading provider of humane squirrel removal and other wildlife removal services in the North Georgia region, has released a new educational blog post titled, "6 Signs You Have a Sneaky Squirrel Infestation." This informative piece aims to equip homeowners with the knowledge to identify early signs of a squirrel infestation and take prompt action.
"Squirrels might look cute and playful from a distance, but let them in, and they'll turn your place upside down," shared Richard Neumayer, from Catch A Critter. "Spotting them early is crucial to steering clear of costly repairs and health hazards linked to squirrel invasions."
The blog post explores six key signs that indicate a squirrel infestation, including:
- Squirrel Droppings: Small, oval-shaped droppings resembling coffee beans are a telltale sign of squirrel activity. These droppings can harbor parasites and bacteria, posing a health hazard.
- Gnaw and Rub Marks: Squirrels have ever-growing teeth, and they constantly gnaw on objects to keep them in check. Look for gouge marks, and scratches on wooden beams, electrical wires, furniture legs, and ventilation systems. Additionally, brown streaks on surfaces may indicate areas where squirrels have rubbed their fur, leaving behind scent gland oils.
- Unusual Odors: A sudden unpleasant odor emanating from an attic or walls can be a strong indicator of a squirrel infestation. The odor may stem from accumulated urine and feces, or a dead squirrel decomposing within the walls.
- Pet Behaviors: Pets often have a heightened sense of smell and hearing. Unexplained changes in their behavior, such as increased alertness, excessive barking or vocalization, restlessness, or anxious pacing, could indicate their detection of a hidden squirrel infestation.
- Gnawed Holes: Squirrels are persistent chewers and can create entry points by gnawing through various materials like rooflines, soffits, fascia boards, and exterior walls. Be extra vigilant if these holes are located near potential entry points like chimneys, vents, or rooflines.
- Squirrel Nests: Squirrels are meticulous nest builders, using leaves, twigs, and insulation to create cozy havens. Discovering bulky nests in an attic, trees near a house, or soffits could mean a breeding squirrel population on the property.
The blog post concludes by emphasizing the importance of prompt action upon discovering a squirrel infestation.
