Squirrels and the Chimney Paradox
Squirrels are notorious climbers and jumpers, and their abilities allow them to get into quite a bit of mischief. While most of the problems they cause are with bird feeders or exterior siding, sometimes the little creatures get into trouble, squeezing into places they don't belong or can't get out of, requiring the services of wildlife control Waukesha.
One common problem squirrels get into is falling into a chimney. The idea perplexes most homeowners because they see squirrels racing up vertical walls and trees and assume the animal can get unstuck. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. When it comes to chimneys, the interior is not as porous as the outside, making traction and grip a challenge. Therefore, it is up to the homeowner and wildlife services to come up with a solution.
