FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SQUIRRELS

  • How do squirrels get into an attic?

    Squirrels can enter through loose soffits, damaged vents and gaps along roof edges. They may also chew small openings wider to get inside. Nearby branches can provide a route to the roof, where squirrels explore weak spots in the trim and roofline.

  • What if squirrels have babies in the nest?

    Young squirrels may be unable to leave on their own, so the nest needs to be checked before removal or sealing begins. The approach should account for the mother and her young. Closing an opening too soon can trap babies inside and separate them from their mother.

  • Can squirrels chew through wiring?

    Yes. Squirrels can gnaw through the protective insulation around electrical wires. If you suspect damage, have an electrician inspect the affected wiring. Removing the squirrels addresses the animal activity, but it doesn’t repair wires they’ve already chewed.

  • Are attic noises always from gray squirrels?

    No. Rats, mice, flying squirrels and raccoons can also make noises above your ceiling. Gray squirrels are generally active during daylight, while some other attic visitors are more active at night. Timing can offer a clue, but sounds alone aren’t enough to identify the animal.

  • How do you stop squirrels from getting back in?

    Once the squirrels and any dependent young are out, their entry points need to be closed with materials that resist chewing. Damaged soffits, fascia and vent screens may need repair or reinforcement. Trimming branches away from the roof can reduce access, but it doesn’t replace repairing the openings.

  • Will squirrels leave an attic on their own?

    A squirrel may leave to find food and return to the same attic afterward. If the space offers shelter or contains a nest, waiting for it to leave permanently may not resolve the problem. A quiet period doesn’t necessarily mean the attic is empty.
