🐿️ Squirrel Problems in Attics: How They Get In and What You Can Do

If you’ve been hearing scampering noises above your ceiling during the day—especially in the early morning or late afternoon—chances are you’re dealing with squirrels in your attic. In Florida, this is a common issue as squirrels look for a safe place to nest, especially during breeding season.

🚪 How Do Squirrels Get In?

Squirrels are agile climbers with strong teeth and sharp claws. They can enter your attic through:

• Gaps in soffits or fascia boards

• Roof vents or uncapped chimneys

• Chewed openings at rooflines

• Damaged eaves or loose shingles

Once inside, they chew on wires, shred insulation for nesting, and leave behind urine and droppings that can lead to odor and mold problems.

⚠️ Why You Should Act Fast

Squirrels are rodents, meaning their teeth never stop growing. That leads to constant gnawing—often on dangerous things like electrical wiring, which poses a fire hazard. They can also attract snakes and fleas and cause expensive insulation damage.
