Are you having trouble With Squirrels?

If you've been dealing with squirrels in your home, you may be wondering why they are such a big problem. Squirrels can cause much damage to your property, and they can also transmit diseases. This article will discuss why squirrels are destructive to your home. Upon entry, these pests will look for weak spots on your roof or around the house; once these holes form, they will allow for water to seep in and eventually, dampness will set in, making squirrel control a must in your home.

These pests will build their homes in various places, including lofts, roof spaces, insulation, garages, and fascia boards.

They cause structural damage by gnawing on items like rafters and beams. They also go through plastics and a whole host of cables. These include CCTV cameras, telephone wires, alarm cables, and worst of all, electrical wiring causing fires that can lead to your home being burnt down. But, again, Bardsley Squirrel Pest Control can assist in avoiding if we are contacted early.

They often build their dreys between insulation. This can cause a range of problems, but the most obvious is that the insulation will lose efficiency.
