If you are hearing scratching or scurrying noises coming from your attic, it’s likely that you have a wild animal living in the space. Animals like squirrels, raccoons and rats can be scratching the area to make their nests or bury food. A quick attic analysis will tell you if animals have moved into your home. If you are not sure what to look for, or if you’re simply too afraid to look, contact a professional pest control company in Vancouver or the lower mainland for quick and effective inspection.
Tips to Rid Your Attic of Squirrels
It’s common for squirrels to take refuge in your attic, as it is a warm, dry and uninhibited environment for them to protect themselves from other animals. Mostly active during the sunlight hours, squirrels can cause significant damage to your home if you don’t to have them removed right away. They can chew through your home’s roof timbers; gnaw through wires and insulation, which can cause electrical hazards; and they can chomp through wooden beams in your house, which can compromise the structural integrity of your roof.
The longer you wait to have the squirrels removed, the higher the risk of potential damage to your home. Here are some steps you can take to remedy the situation yourself. If these steps don’t ensure effective pest removal, contact the expert exterminators at Pest Detective.
