Frequently asked questions

Why do I hear scratching in the attic at dawn?

Squirrels are active in daylight, especially at dawn and dusk, so scratching and scurrying at those times usually means squirrels rather than nocturnal mice or raccoons. The sound’s timing helps identify the animal.

Do squirrels chew wiring?

Yes. Squirrels gnaw constantly and can chew wiring, ducts and wood in an attic, which is a fire and damage risk — another reason to remove them and seal the entry promptly.

What does a one-way door do?

A one-way door mounted over the entry lets squirrels leave the attic but not get back in. Once they are out, the opening is sealed so the attic stays empty.
