Why Are Squirrels Considered a Pest?

Squirrels are resourceful climbers and persistent nesters. When they find access to a home or commercial property, they cause structural damage, electrical hazards, and sanitation concerns.

🏠 Property Damage & Structural Risks

  • Squirrels chew through roofing materials, soffits, and vents, creating entry holes.
  • They nest in attics and crawl spaces, shredding insulation and damaging walls.
  • Gnawed wood, plastic, and wiring pose fire hazards.

⚡ Electrical & Fire Hazards

  • Squirrels frequently chew electrical wires, increasing the risk of short circuits and home fires.
  • Their gnawing habits cause costly repairs to HVAC, lighting, and alarm systems.

🌿 Garden & Outdoor Destruction

  • Squirrels dig up yards, destroy gardens, and strip bark from trees.
  • They raid bird feeders and food storage areas, contaminating supplies.

🦠 Health & Sanitation Risks

  • Squirrels carry fleas, ticks, and mites, which spread to pets and humans.
  • Their droppings in attics and crawl spaces contain harmful bacteria.
  • Dead squirrels in walls or ducts create strong, unpleasant odors.

If you hear scratching noises in your attic, notice chewed wires, or find squirrel nests, Empire Pest & Wildlife offers fast, professional removal solutions.

Signs of a Squirrel Infestation

Squirrels are most active during the day and often give clear signs of their presence. Watch for:

Scratching or scurrying sounds in the attic or walls (especially at dawn and dusk).
Holes or chewed openings in eaves, soffits, and vents.
Gnawed electrical wires, wood, or plastic pipes.
Droppings in attics, garages, or near food sources.
Nests made of leaves, twigs, and shredded insulation.

Because squirrels reproduce rapidly, early intervention prevents severe property damage.
