Wildlife Spotlight: Squirrels in Your Home

Squirrels are fascinating creatures, but when they invade your home, they can cause significant damage and pose health risks. While they may seem harmless, these clever rodents are excellent climbers and can find their way into attics, walls, and other areas, creating nests and chewing through wires, insulation, and wood.

At Paragon Pest Control, we specialize in squirrel removal and rodent control, offering effective solutions to protect homes in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Here’s what you need to know about squirrels and how to prevent them from becoming unwelcome houseguests.

Why Squirrels Become a Problem in Homes

Squirrels often enter homes in search of food, warmth, and safe spaces to raise their young. Common entry points include:

  • Roof vents and soffits

  • Attic gaps or holes

  • Damaged siding or trim

  • Chimneys

Once inside, squirrels can:

  • Chew through electrical wires, creating a fire hazard.

  • Damage insulation, leading to energy inefficiency.

  • Create noise and mess in attics or walls.

Signs of a Squirrel Infestation

How can you tell if squirrels have moved into your home? Look for these warning signs:

  • Scratching or scurrying sounds, especially in the attic or walls.

  • Droppings or urine stains near suspected entry points.

  • Chewed wires, wood, or insulation.

  • Visible entry holes around the roofline or vents.
