Squirrel in Attic Removal | Squirrel Nest Removal
Your attic provides the perfect sanctuary for squirrels looking to build their nests. Attics are dark, warm, and secluded, providing a perfect place for squirrels to hide from predators and harsh weather. Squirrels will scour your roof for any weak points on the roof, gaps between your shingles, or holes in your soffit, rake boards, and fascia boards. Once they locate a potential entry point, they will use their claws and teeth to widen this crack or gap and make their way inside. Squirrels inside your attic will begin ripping up your attic insulation to build their nests, often soiling it in the process with urine and feces. These rodents will also bring in their outside nesting material, like dead leaves and twigs to add to their new nests, which can pose a potential fire risk. That’s not the only squirrel behavior that can cause a potential fire hazard, as squirrels also tend to gnaw on the rubber covering around wires, which can expose the bare wiring to the dry leaves and insulation.

Squirrels remain active year-round in Boston and the surrounding New England areas. However, during the harsh, cold months of winter, squirrels will venture out less frequently, instead choosing to conserve energy and warmth inside the nest. Squirrels spend the late summer and fall collecting food and building up a massive food stash, which they live off of during the winter when nuts, seeds, and grains are less available.
