If youāve heard scratching in your attic or seen chewed wires around your property, you may have a squirrel problem. While these furry creatures look harmless, squirrels can cause serious damage to your home and pose safety risks when they move inside. At Task Force Pest Control, we specialize in squirrel prevention and removal services across Madison, GA and nearby areas, helping homeowners protect their property from unwanted wildlife.
Why Squirrels Are a Problem
Squirrels often enter homes through small gaps, roof vents, or soffits in search of warmth and nesting space. Once inside, they can:
Chew through electrical wiring, creating potential fire hazards
Tear up insulation and create unsanitary nests
Contaminate attics with urine and droppings
Damage wood, siding, and rooflines while trying to gain entry
These issues can escalate quickly, which is why early detection and preventionĀ are key.
Squirrel Prevention Tips for Homeowners
You can take a few simple steps to reduce the risk of squirrels invading your home:
Seal Entry PointsĀ ā Inspect your roofline, vents, and eaves for gaps or loose flashing. Seal any holes larger than a quarter inch.
Trim Tree LimbsĀ ā Keep branches at least 6ā8 feet away from your roof to prevent squirrels from jumping onto your house.
Secure Food SourcesĀ ā Store pet food, bird seed, and garbage in sealed containers.
Install Vent CoversĀ ā Heavy-duty metal screens over roof vents, chimneys, and soffits help keep squirrels out.
Act QuicklyĀ ā If you see signs of nesting, donāt wait ā call a professional before they multiply or cause major damage.
