While squirrels may seem cute from a distance, that doesn’t mean you’re going to want them in your Newburyport home or business. The furry critters can cause significant damage and bring dangerous diseases into your property. Due to their small size, it’s easy for squirrels to sneak in and go unnoticed until the damage is done. Fortunately, Critter Control® of Boston is here to help with all your squirrel removal needs.
Signs of Invasive Squirrels
Despite their stealthy nature, squirrel behaviors are easy to spot in your Newburyport property. If you suspect the critters have taken up space in your home or business, look for the following signs:
- Chew marks on furniture, electrical wires, siding and furniture
- Small gaps around walls, particularly in your attic or basement
- Scratching, gnawing or skittering noises, especially in the early morning or daylight hours
- Balls of torn cardboard and dried foliage to create nests
- Dark, ammonia-scented stains
- Destroyed attic insulation
- Soiled walls and flooring
- Damaged bird feeders in your yard
It’s important to act right away, so the critters can’t cause any more damage. The sooner you notice the signs of a squirrel infestation, the sooner Critter Control® of Boston can begin the squirrel removal process.
The Problem with DIY Squirrel Removal
DIY squirrel removal may seem like a good option, but it often creates more problems than it solves. Store-bought traps can be dangerous for pets and young children, and it’s illegal to poison wildlife to remove them. Though they may seem docile, a squirrel that feels threatened can bite or scratch, which could potentially pass on bacteria or disease. Don’t put you and your loved ones in danger by attempting squirrel removal yourself. Instead, rely on the experts at Critter Control® of Boston.
