WHY SQUIRREL ACTIVITY SHOULDN’T BE IGNORED

Squirrels Can Damage Electrical Wiring

Squirrels naturally gnaw to maintain their continuously growing teeth. When squirrels enter an attic, electrical wiring can become one of the materials they chew. Damaged wiring can create an electrical and potential fire hazard inside the home.


Early identification and removal can help address squirrel activity before additional attic damage occurs.
