Introduction

Squirrels in attics can be a real problem for Virginia homeowners. While squirrels are undeniably cute and fascinating to watch in their natural habitat, they can become a significant concern when they find their way into your attic. In their quest for warmth and safety, squirrels may turn your attic into their new home, causing an array of problems in the process. This guide will help you understand why squirrels choose attics, the issues they can cause, and effective methods to both prevent and solve the problem.

 

Why Squirrels Choose Attics

  1. Warmth and Safety: Attics offer a warm and dry environment, making them an attractive option for squirrels, especially during the colder months.
  2. Nesting Grounds: Female squirrels often seek out secluded spots like attics for birthing and raising their young.
  3. Easy Access: Trees, power lines, or even loose or damaged building materials can provide easy pathways for squirrels to enter your attic.

 

Problems Squirrels Can Cause In Attics

  1. Structural Damage: Squirrels have a natural tendency to chew, which can lead to damaged insulation, wood, wiring, and even plumbing.
  2. Noise Pollution: The incessant scampering, scratching, and gnawing sounds can be distracting and even unsettling.
  3. Health Risks: Squirrels can carry fleas, ticks, and diseases that could pose health risks to humans and pets.
  4. Contamination: Squirrel droppings and urine can contaminate your attic, leading to foul smells and potential health hazards.

 

How to Prevent Squirrels from Entering Your Attic

  1. Seal Entry Points: Identify and seal all potential entry points like holes, cracks, and openings in your roof or walls.
  2. Tree Trimming: Keep tree branches at least 6-8 feet away from your home to prevent easy access.
  3. Install Guards: Use squirrel guards on power lines and bird feeders to discourage movement towards your home.
  4. Regular Inspection: Consistent checks for signs of squirrels can help you take action before a full-blown infestation occurs.

 

How to Get Rid of Squirrels in Attics

  1. Live Trapping: One of the most humane ways to remove squirrels is by using live traps. Be sure to check local wildlife regulations before proceeding.
  2. Professional Help: Sometimes, it’s best to call in the experts. Professional wildlife removal services can safely and humanely remove the squirrels and help you squirrel-proof your attic.
  3. Repellents: While not always effective, natural repellents like peppermint oil can sometimes deter squirrels.
  4. Cleanup: After removing squirrels, thoroughly clean and disinfect the area to remove any remnants like droppings or nesting materials.

 

Conclusion

Squirrels in attics can be a disruptive and potentially costly issue for homeowners. Prevention is always the best course of action, but if you find yourself dealing with these furry invaders, immediate and humane removal is essential. Consulting professionals for inspection and removal can offer peace of mind and ensure that your attic remains a squirrel-free zone.
