The Boston area is home to many types of natural wildlife, including several species of squirrels. While the critters may be fun to watch in parks or natural areas, they can quickly become a nuisance if they decide to take up space inside your Lynnfield home or business. Fortunately, the professionals at Critter Control® of Boston are prepared to assist you with all your squirrel removal needs.
Dangers of Invasive Squirrels
While they may seem harmless, squirrels can cause lots of damage the longer they stay inside your property. They are skilled climbers and can easily make their way inside attics and chimneys to build a safe nesting spot to raise their young. Some of the dangers of invasive squirrels include:
- Property damage: Squirrels constantly need to file their teeth, and no material is off limits. They’ll gnaw on anything they can find, including wood furniture, plastic, insulation, and electrical wiring. Not only will their chewing cause damage to your personal belongings, but it can also create structural hazards that put your home’s integrity at risk.
- Health risks: Squirrels can carry parasites, such as fleas and ticks, and bring them inside your home. Their droppings and urine can also be a health risk, triggering allergies that put you at risk of catching respiratory illnesses.
- Unsanitary hazards: Squirrel urine and droppings can ruin floors and give off a strong, unpleasant odor that can quickly spoil a room. Additionally, squirrels can leave grease marks and stains around entry points as they travel in and out of your property.
