Squirrels’ bushy tails and acrobatic skills might seem cute and impressive when you watch them jump and climb in a forest or park. Their charm soon disappears when you hear their constant gnawing and scratching in your house, condominium or apartment.
Why are squirrels in my home?
One question to ask is what month is it? If it is March or April female squirrels may have moved into your home for the protection and quiet they need during birthing season. This birthing season usually occurs between March and June with another litter in July. The leafless trees outside during these months offer very little safety from the crows and predators out looking for an easy, winter meal. Wouldn’t they be afraid of humans?
Normally the answer would be yes. Squirrels are more afraid of you than you are afraid of them. Squirrels take advantage of our own need to stay inside and hibernate during the winter months. There’s little activity outside our homes which makes entering and exciting much easier and potentially safer for squirrels and their young.
What will they do in my home?
Like other rodents, squirrels are busiest during daylight hours. They are not dangerous animals, but squirrels can carry rabies and can bring fleas and/or ticks into your home. They won’t likely bite anyone in your family but all bites should be looked after by medical professionals. They will not look for food in your home as they mainly eat roots, stems, bark, leaves, fruits, nuts, seeds, flower bulbs, and sometimes insects.
But squirrels continually chew. Like rabbits, squirrels’ teeth constantly grow. They need to chew in order to wear their teeth down. Your new housemates may continue their chewing in your house, choosing electric wiring, wood, or parts of your roof on which to gnaw.
