Squirrel Infestations: A Growing Problem

Squirrels are among the most commonly encountered wildlife in urban and suburban areas. These agile creatures are often seen foraging in yards, climbing trees, and scurrying across rooftops and power lines. While they may appear harmless, squirrels can quickly become a serious nuisance when they invade homes. Seeking shelter, food storage, and nesting opportunities, they frequently gain access to attics, ceilings, basements, and other secluded areas within residential properties. Once inside, they can cause extensive damage and create ongoing disturbances.

Structural Damage Caused by Squirrels

Squirrels have strong, ever-growing teeth, requiring them to gnaw constantly to keep them in check. Unfortunately, when they enter homes, they often chew through electrical wiring, insulation, wooden beams, and drywall. This behavior can lead to:

  • Electrical hazards – Exposed wires increase the risk of fires.
  • Structural damage – Chewed beams and insulation weaken the home’s integrity.
  • Costly repairs – Damaged materials must be replaced to maintain the home’s efficiency.

Additionally, squirrels often build nests in insulation, using materials such as leaves, paper, and attic debris. This nesting behavior further compromises insulation effectiveness and creates a breeding ground for other pests.

Squirrel control Riverside CA

Noise and Disruptions

Unlike nocturnal pests, squirrels are active during the day, and their presence can be incredibly disruptive. Homeowners frequently hear scratching, scurrying, and gnawing noises coming from the attic or within walls. This can make it difficult to sleep or focus during the day, particularly if the squirrels have taken up residence near living spaces.

Health Risks Associated with Squirrels

Beyond structural damage and noise, squirrels also pose serious health risks. They can carry parasites like fleas, ticks, and mites, which can spread to pets and humans. Their droppings and urine can harbor bacteria and viruses, leading to potential respiratory issues and contamination concerns. Squirrels have been known to carry diseases such as:

  • Salmonellosis – A bacterial infection causing food poisoning.
  • Leptospirosis – A disease that can cause fever, muscle pain, and liver damage.
  • Tick-borne infections – Squirrels can introduce infected ticks into homes, increasing the risk of Lyme disease and other illnesses.

Preventing Future Squirrel Infestations

One of the most effective ways to keep squirrels away is through habitat modification. Trimming tree branches near the house eliminates easy access to rooftops, while keeping bird feeders at a distance or using squirrel-proof designs prevents attracting these pests. We also advise against planting oak or walnut trees close to the home, as these trees provide a steady food source for squirrels. Regular property maintenance, such as clearing debris and sealing potential entry points, is essential for long-term squirrel prevention.
