Squirrel Removal Tampa FL

Scraping, gnawing and sounds of pitter-patter in the morning or throughout the day are a really good indication you have some squirrels in your home. You might also find bits of dried leaves, sticks, cardboard or insulation where they shouldn’t be. These are all signs that squirrels are constructing a nest.

Squirrel removal and control must be started as soon as the critter has been found living in your home! A Squirrel’s front teeth do not stop growing, so they need to regularly grind them down. Because of this, Squirrels have a habit of chewing electrical wiring and plumbing which can lead to fire problems or water damage. Call AAAC Wildlife Removal to remove squirrels from your attics!

Squirrel in the Attic

Your attic is like a playground for squirrels. They enjoy nothing more than to have a good, completely dry place to get out of the weather and make a nest for their young. Squirrels usually develop nests in trees to keep them safe from predators and competing squirrels. This makes your attic the best place to nest that they could ask for.

If it weren’t for the ruckus and animal waste, squirrels might not be so bad. Yet, the greatest danger that a squirrel invasion can cause is that they gnaw on electric wires that go through your attic and walls. This is extremely bad news. As we like to claim: “Frayed wires set fires”. There’s no need to burn your house down because some squirrels made a decision to move in. If you’re not even sure if you’ve got wild animals up there or not, its a good idea to call us to come out and see if you really need Tampa squirrel removal. Animal control is never fun to pay for, but better safe than sorry.
