Signs You Have Squirrel Problems

Squirrels are pretty harmless, right? Well, yes and no. Squirrels aren't aggressive but, they can be quite a nuisance to you and your home. But, how do you know if these pesky pests are causing damage to your home?

Below we have 3 signs to look for in order to tell if you have squirrel problems or not:

• Droppings: A pretty clear sign is if you notice small droppings inside of your garage or even in your attic. It can be tough to figure out if they are squirrel droppings or maybe rat droppings, regardless, if you notice this contact us right away for the help you need.
• Foul Smells: If you have a squirrel infestation, it's most likely that some of those squirrels aren't getting back out of your home. If you start to notice a foul smell, it could be a dead squirrel in your walls or underneath your house.
• Damage Around Your Home: Another sign of squirrel problems is if you notice that their are teeth marks on the outside walls of your home or even along the roofline. It's much easier to notice squirrel damage around the exterior of your home. Call us today if you notice those pesky teeth marks.
