3. Introduction
Squirrels are cute and playful creatures that can bring a smile to
anyone's face. However, when they start to invade your home or
business, they can quickly become a nuisance.
Squirrel infestations are a common problem that can cause
significant damage to your property if left unchecked.
In this presentation, we will explore the signs that you may have a
squirrel infestation in your home or business.

4. Noises in the Walls or Ceiling
One of the most common signs of a squirrel infestation is hearing
noises in your walls or ceiling. Squirrels are active during the day, and
they often make scratching or scurrying noises as they move around. You may
also hear them chattering or vocalizing, especially if they are fighting or
mating.
If you notice squirrels inside your home or business, it's a clear sign
that you have an infestation. Squirrels may enter through open
windows or doors, or they may find their way in through holes or
entry points in your home or business.

5. Squirrel droppings are another sign that you may have an infestation.
Squirrel droppings are small, brown pellets that are similar in size and
shape to rice grains. You may find them in your attic, crawlspace, or
other areas where squirrels are active.
Gnawed or Chewed Objects
Squirrels have sharp teeth that they use to gnaw and chew on objects.
If you have a squirrel infestation, you may notice gnaw marks on
wooden beams, wires, or other objects in your home or business.
Squirrels can also chew through insulation, which can lead to energy
loss and higher utility bills.

6. Holes or Entry Points
Squirrels are small and agile, which means they can fit through small
openings in your home or business.
Look for holes or entry points in your roof, walls, or foundation.
Squirrels can also enter through vents or chimneys, so make sure
these areas are properly screened or covered.
Nests or Nesting Materials
Squirrels build nests out of a variety of materials, including leaves,
twigs, and other debris.
Look for nests in your attic, crawlspace, or other areas where squirrels
are active. You may also find nesting materials such as leaves, twigs, or
shredded insulation.

7. Damage to Landscaping
Squirrels are known for digging up bulbs and eating fruits and
vegetables in gardens. If you notice damage to your landscaping or
garden, it could be a sign of a squirrel infestation. Squirrels can also
damage trees by chewing on bark and branches, which can weaken
the tree and make it more susceptible to disease or pests.
Unpleasant Odors
Squirrels are not known for being particularly clean animals. If you
have a squirrel infestation, you may notice unpleasant odors in your
home or business. Squirrel urine and droppings can have a strong,
musky smell that can be difficult to eliminate.

8. Nesting in Vehicles
Damage to Electrical Wiring
Squirrels can cause significant damage to electrical wiring in your
home or business. Squirrels often chew on wires, which can lead to
short circuits, electrical fires, or other safety hazards.
Squirrels have been known to nest in vehicles, especially during
the winter months when they are looking for a warm place to
shelter.
Look for signs of nesting materials or damage to wires or other
components under the hood of your car.
If you notice electrical problems such as flickering lights or tripped
circuit breakers, it could be a sign of a squirrel infestation.
