Squirrels are fast, agile, and able to enter your property without you even noticing. The furry rodents seek out warm and dry spaces that protect them from the elements and predators—making the walls, attics, and crawl spaces of your Haines City home or business the perfect spot for them to nest and breed. If you suspect you have a squirrel infestation, Critter Control® of Polk County is here to help.
4 Signs of Squirrel Infestation
If you notice any of the following signs, then you likely have a squirrel infestation on your property.
1. An ammonia-like smell
2. Chewed or frayed electrical wires
3. Small, black droppings in the attic and shredded insulation
4. Scratching and squealing from your walls or ceiling during the daytime
As soon as you notice any of these signs, call Critter Control® of Polk County. The longer you wait, the more severe the infestation can become.
Damages Caused by Invasive Squirrels
As squirrels make themselves comfortable inside your property, they’ll pose more and more risks to you and your home or business.
1. Property Damage – Squirrels love to chew on anything, including furniture and electrical wires. This can cause fire hazards and put your property’s structural integrity at risk.
2. Bites or Scratches – While they’re normally docile, squirrels will bite or scratch both humans and pets if they feel cornered or threatened.
3. Diseases – Squirrels can carry a variety of diseases, including salmonellosis and Lyme disease. Such illnesses can be passed on to you and your loved ones through bites, scratches, or contaminated food.
