Squirrels
Squirrels enter homes seeking food, water and shelter. These world-class climbers easily scale tree branches that are close to your house and run the roof. Once they’re up there, they can sense the temperature differences in the attic spaces beneath and literally gnaw their way through your roof on their mission to find warmth and build their nests. In the wild, squirrels eat mainly nuts and seeds. In your home, they’ll eat anything, do a whole lot of damage and spread disease.
Bug Ivey can find them and escort them off the premises.
Squirrels can chew through almost anything. They shred insulation, wood and even PVC pipes. When they start gnawing on electrical wires, they create a fire hazard. Attics and basements are their favorite nesting areas. Females mate once per year, with 2-8 babies in a litter. As they increase in numbers, the smell of their urine can become very strong. Like all wild animals, their feces can spread disease.
