Signs That You May Have a Squirrel Infestation
- Noises: Listen for scratching and scurrying sounds in your attic, walls, or ceilings, especially during the day or night; be aware of chewing noises, as squirrels are known to gnaw on wood and insulation, which you might hear coming from your walls or ceilings; and pay attention to chattering and squeaking, as squirrels are social animals and may communicate this way.
- Tracks: Look for small, three-toed paw prints on surfaces like floors, countertops, or insulation, and watch for dirt and debris that squirrels may leave behind as they move around your home.
- Scat: Squirrel scat is usually small and dark pellets, often with a nutty smell; look for this scat in attics, basements, or other areas where squirrels might be nesting.
- Damage: Be aware of chewed wires and insulation, as squirrels are known to do this, which can pose a fire hazard; look for small holes in your walls or roof, which may indicate squirrels entering your home; also, be mindful of nests, which squirrels may build in attics, chimneys, or other sheltered areas and are often made of twigs, leaves, and other materials; and finally, note any damaged landscaping, such as dug holes, gnawed trees, and eaten bulbs and seeds.
Understanding Behavior and Regulations for Effective Removal
The climate in Ogden, Utah, significantly influences squirrel behavior and their interactions with human properties. With its distinct seasons, squirrel activity peaks in the fall as they actively seek warm, sheltered nesting sites like attics and eaves in preparation for the cold winter. Additionally, the thawing of ice in the summer can create structural vulnerabilities, making homes more accessible. Understanding these seasonal patterns is crucial for effective squirrel removal and management, which is why Mountain West Pest Control tailors its control strategies to these shifts, offering year-round protection.
