Now, I’m not going to start off by lying. Squirrels are one of my favorite animals on the planet. These critters are mostly harmless. But, they can be a real headache to homeowners. So, today we’re going to go over identifying a possible Brandon Squirrel Infestation.
Brandon Squirrel Infestation: The Signs
One of the biggest giveaways of a squirrel infestation is noise. Squirrels are rather large rodents and make a lot of noise moving through a house. If you hear scampering at morning and dusk, that’s likely one entering and leaving.
A squirrel’s urine can also be very potent in your house and will come through the walls. Squirrels can also get stuck inside your home and die, which will smell even worse. So, the smell is a pretty important identifier.
Damage to your house is another telltale sign of squirrels. They chew through just about anything to get warm and find a place to cozy up. Inspect the molding, wiring, and beams around your attic or roof yearly. Signs of chewing is usually signs of a rodent.
And probably the biggest sign of a Brandon squirrel infestation is a nest.
Squirrels will use the insulation in your crawl spaces and attic to build their nests. Look for destroyed and ruffled insulation as well as outside materials like leaves and debris. Squirrels like to carry in goods from nature to build their habitats and will use your home’s materials in conjunction to do so.
