Isn’t it fascinating how squirrels manage to navigate the bustling cityscape of Bowmanville with such ease? Their impressive acrobatics and resourcefulness never fail to catch our eye, making us wonder what role these furry adventurers play in our environment. But what happens when their curiosity leads them into our homes? You might find yourself asking, “How do squirrels manage to get inside?”

Well, that’s where Skedaddle’s professional wildlife removal services come in. We provide humane solutions to gently guide these unexpected visitors back to where they belong—in nature. As we strive to live harmoniously with our wildlife neighbours, it’s important to understand and respect their place in our ecosystem.

In this engaging post, we’re diving into the intriguing world of squirrel behaviour and their impressive knack for finding ways into our homes. Plus, we’ll discuss how experts at Skedaddle can use their humane approach to ensure your home stays yours and give you back your peace of mind.

Secrets of a Squirrel’s Inner Compass

There’s an inexplicable draw for these tree-dwellers towards the warmth of human shelters. But this pull isn’t random; it’s founded on an intricate network of skills that squirrels have evolved over millennia.

In their natural surroundings, squirrels display remarkable spatial memory. They mark their caches and can retrieve their hidden treasures even under a layer of snow or in leafy overgrowth. When compared to their wild habitat, navigating the endless twists and turns of your attic should be child’s play for them.

The Role of Acute Senses in Navigation

The ability of squirrels to sense their surroundings is legendary. Their large, bushy tails don’t just serve as a fashion statement; they provide balance and signal danger to their peers. This sense of balance translates into sure footedness on precarious perches—such as the telephone wires leading to your rooftop.

Further aiding their urban escapades are their sharp senses. They sniff out food and warmth with their keen sense of smell and detect changes in air currents, a secret map of sorts, to reach their destination.

The grey matter behind the grey fur is highly advanced. Studies have shown squirrels to possess spatial memory impressive enough to give even birds a run (or should I say, a flight) for their money. This ability to recall paths and locations comes in handy when the sky is your highway and the wires are your roads.

How do Squirrels Get Into Your House

Understanding the tactics these animals employ is the first step in defending your home against their incursions. Upon closer inspection, you’ll discover that a squirrel’s invasion involves a series of calculated outbound and return journeys.

Probing for the Perfect Entry Point

Squirrels are inveterate chewers — their incisors never stop growing throughout their lives. They’ll gnaw through surprisingly tough materials to create or enlarge a crevice that they can then exploit. This might be a cakewalk for them, but it can mean a major headache (and a potentially hefty repair bill) for you.

Once they’ve gained entry, squirrels become veritable vandals. Their main goals are to forage for food, establish territory, and potentially start a family. This involves exploring every corner of your attic — an action-packed joyride for them, but an unnerving experience for you.

How Skedaddle Keep Squirrels Out

At Skedaddle, our mission is twofold: to extricate these unwelcome guests from your home and to prevent future infiltrations. Our process is steeped in experience and ethical practice, ensuring that your humane needs are met alongside your pest removal requirements.

The first step is an intensive survey of your property. We don’t just scout around your attic; we investigate every nook and cranny, looking for current inhabitants and potential points of re-entry.

Once we’ve located these squatters, our certified technicians use a method that is not only effective but also compassionately removes them from your premises. We’re not just in the business of removing pests; we uphold respect for wildlife and their place within the ecosystem.

After the squirrels are safely returned to the great outdoors, we undertake strategic exclusions — sealing any entry points with professional-grade materials that deter even the most determined squirrel.

A successful eviction is only part of the solution. Skedaddle offers a proactive approach to squirrel prevention that’s tailored to your home’s unique situation.

We also tailor our approach to make your home less attractive to squirrels. This means addressing any issues with food storage or composting that may inadvertently be luring them near.
