Squirrel Identification
Squirrels are common but can be troublesome if they enter your home or business. Here's how to identify them: Squirrels are small to medium-sized rodents with bushy tails and strong hind legs. They vary in colour from grey to reddish-brown. You'll often spot them in trees, scurrying along power lines, or foraging on the ground. Indoors, you'll hear scratching noises in attics or walls.
Squirrel Advice
Effective squirrel management requires a combination of deterrence and humane removal. Here are our expert recommendations: Inspection Tips: Regularly check your attic, roof, and exterior for signs of entry points such as holes or chewed wood. If you notice these signs or hear noises, it's crucial to act promptly. Handling Squirrel Infestations: Stay calm and avoid direct contact. Squirrels can become aggressive if they feel threatened.
