Squirrel Biology
Squirrels are small sized mammals that usually live in trees and survive on foods such as nuts and fruits. However, in recent times, these creatures have started invading homes in the urban areas in search of shelter from the cold winters. They store their food in attics and inside the walls of homes. They create storage spaces by gnawing through roofs and walls. This also makes the structure of your home weak.
Squirrels usually live up to 2 years and can have up to 4 litters in a year. Each litter consists of approximately 3 young squirrels. The squirrels care for their young ones by building nests for their protection. The material used to build the nest is collected by chewing off wiring and insulation in your attic. The damages caused by squirrels are something you would rather not have to deal with.
Squirrel Invasion - What to Do?
There are several squirrel species found all over Canada. With regards to Southern Ontario in particular, the North American Grey squirrel is native to the location.
If you live in an area where there are lots of trees, you may have come across some of these squirrels. While there’s certainly nothing harmful about having them live in the trees in your neighbourhood, a serious problem occurs when they decide to move from the trees and into your home.
Where In Your House Can They Be Found?
Usually, walls and the attic are common places where squirrels decide to nest. They can easily squeeze through very tight spaces and their strong teeth help them chew through different materials on their journey into your home.
Most pregnant squirrels seek a warm and secure place to have their young. Your attic and walls will often provide this ideal environment for them. A problem occurs though when they start chewing everything in sight. A squirrel in your attic can chew on your electrical wiring and start fires.
As soon as you realize that you have a squirrel invasion, it is important to have the animals removed as soon as possible.
What You Can Try to Do
Sealing up all entry points is critical to stopping the intruder from continuing to use your home as their nest. The problem though is that squirrels have strong teeth, which can chew through lots of different material. Using strong material such as steel will prevent the squirrel from chewing through it.
Before sealing the holes, it is important to know when the best time is to do so. You don’t want to seal the squirrel into your property with no way of getting out.
It’s best to observe the squirrel’s behaviour and habits. Do they enter your home during the day or at night? Most squirrels tend to be active during the day. Understanding these habits will provide a guideline of when the ideal time will be to seal up those entry points.
Another measure you can take is by ensuring that there are no trees close to your house. Squirrels are quite agile animals and can easily leap from a tree and into your home.
What if There are Baby Squirrels?
If your squirrel invader is a mother squirrel, it will be a little more complicated to get rid of her and her babies. Sealing the entry points while she’s out will not work as she’s likely to attempt all measures to get back in to reunite with her young. The baby squirrels are also helpless and are more likely to lose their lives if they spend too many hours without mother.
You can check for baby squirrels by heading into the attic with a headlamp. When you listen closely, you will hear them.
Some people decide to let the babies and their mother continue to live in their attic, at least until they’re old and strong enough to leave on their own. But sometimes the squirrels cause so much damage and noise that you can’t co-exist. If this is the case, then contacting a wildlife control company to trap and safely remove them is the best possible option.
Health Perils
The presence of squirrels in your home may not be hazardous to health; however, these rodents do carry fleas and ticks that could get transferred to pets in the house. Squirrels also contaminate food items when they scamper around your kitchen and tabletop. If ingested, these foods could cause health problems.
Squirrels make a lot of noise while they scamper around in your attic. This could be quite stressful as you may prefer the peace and quiet to the sound of little feet of squirrels, on the roof or inside the walls.
