In this episode of Bug Busters Pest Pulse, host Court Parker explores the surprising threat that squirrels pose to your home — and why ignoring them can lead to costly, dangerous consequences. These energetic creatures may look harmless on the surface, but once they find their way into attics, wall voids, or crawlspaces, they become destructive pests.
You’ll learn how to:
Recognize early warning signs like scratching noises, gnaw marks, chewed wires, and droppings
Understand the fire hazards caused by squirrels chewing on electrical wiring
Spot entry points around rooflines, chimneys, and vents before squirrels do
Identify behavioral patterns like nesting and hoarding that lead to compounded damage
We also walk through smart, preventive steps to keep squirrels out — including trimming trees, installing chimney caps, sealing small openings, and monitoring insulation. Plus, we break down why DIY removal can be risky, especially when dealing with aggressive mothers guarding nests, and why professional wildlife control is often the safest solution.
Whether you're already hearing noises overhead or just want to protect your home as winter approaches, this episode will give you the strategies and confidence to keep squirrels where they belong — outside.
