Why Squirrels in the Loft Are a Serious Problem
- Electrical fires: Squirrels frequently chew through wiring, putting your home at risk of fire.
- Structural damage: They gnaw through beams, joists, and insulation to create nesting areas.
- Contamination: Squirrel droppings and urine carry bacteria and can cause unpleasant odours.
- Noisy disturbances: Daylight activity includes loud scratching, running, and chattering in the loft.
- Breeding nests: One squirrel can turn into a family if left unchecked, doubling the damage.
- Infestations attract other pests: An unsealed entry point may invite birds, rats, or insects.
