Squirrels can be fun animals to watch as they gather nuts and climb trees. Yet squirrels can also cause a surprising number of problems. When trouble starts, Squirrel Removal in Reynoldsburg might be the best option. Here are some of the reasons that homeowners may decide to have squirrels removed from their property.
Yard Problems
Many people enjoy seeing birds and may go to great lengths to attract a variety of birds to their yard. A bird feeder can be very useful for this. Some people will discover, however, that the squirrels which have been peaceful in the past can suddenly become serious nuisances since squirrels are fond of stealing seeds out of bird feeders. Homeowners who seek to keep squirrels out of the feeders are likely to be shocked at just how far squirrels will go to get to the seeds.
Squirrels can also cause trouble in the yard in other ways. Occasionally they will even chew on wires that they find on the outer walls of a home. They can carry diseases and pests like fleas as well, which could potentially be transferred to pets.
Home Problems
For a lot of homeowners, squirrels may not cause any problems in the yard, but could instead become nuisances by heading indoors, generally into an attic. Once there, they may gnaw on wood or wires. If they decide to use the attic as their nest, there could soon be young squirrels along with them. These young squirrels may be especially likely to chew on exposed wood, creating more and more damage to the attic over time.
Moisture brought in by the squirrels could lead to the growth of mold in the attic, and any place that wild animals live may start to smell bad over time. The noise of squirrels gnawing, scratching, and running around in the attic can also be quite annoying. The bad smells and bothersome noises are likely to continue indefinitely if something is not done. The longer that squirrels are allowed to stay in the attic, the more of a mess there will be to clean up later.
