Squirrel Control in Oak Ridge, TN

Squirrels are adorable when they’re outside your property. When they make their way inside your home or place of business, they can cause damage to wires, insulation, and framing. Squirrels end up inside homes when they seek shelter and end up nesting there. The certified and experienced team at Synergy Pest Management can handle squirrels in a humane and professional way.

Squirrels are rodents whose front teeth are constantly growing. Because of this, they need to gnaw on something hard to grind them down. In your home, they target wires, siding, 2x4s, soffits, insulation, shingles, and more. When they chew through electrical wires, you may end up having a hidden fire hazard.

In addition to property damage, squirrels will also defecate and urinate in your home. These smells are incredibly gross and also let other squirrels know that your property is safe to enter. Their feces can carry salmonella, and if they get stuck and die, the decomposing body can invite other pests.

Squirrels are particularly active in the fall and winter when they are birthing and raising their young. When you find squirrels on your property, it is important to check the females to see if they’re nursing. Overall, squirrels are incredibly well-adapted to living in urban and suburban areas and can make nests out of insulation, cardboard, leaves, and paper.

They target vents, gables, and other structural weak points as a means of entry into your home. Squirrel control involves trapping and removal; this process may take a while depending on the severity of your infestation. When they’re caught, they must be taken at least 10 miles away from your property, or they may end up returning.

After your squirrels have been removed, you’ll want to repair entry points, treat any remaining scents, and clean nesting areas for urine and droppings. Call Synergy Pest Management today to get started. We have more than 30 years of industry experience.
