Squirrels

squirrel wildlife removal stcatharinesThe carefree moves of a squirrel often hide the tales of destruction and health hazards they are capable of causing, and while these furry little creatures look great from a distance, letting them into your space is a surefire invitation to trouble.

In North America, the Gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), the Flying squirrel (Glaucomys spp), the Red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) and the Fox squirrel (Sciurus niger) are the most common pest species we come across. All these species are capable of causing damage to your property, to the interiors as well as to the exterior. Moreover, they are all potential carriers of serious health hazards too.

Traditionally, squirrels have enjoyed their natural diets and even their nesting habits had been restricted to trees. However, as human developments spread, their natural habitats soon began vanishing, and these furry creatures had to adapt themselves to their human neighbors. Their diet therefore began including human leftovers and even tidbits from the garbage, and their nesting habits soon included the relative safety of nooks and crannies on our property and in our households.

However, due to the damages squirrels are capable of causing as well as the diseases they have the potential of spreading, it is strongly recommended they you keep these animals away from your immediate vicinity.

How Squirrels Damage Your Property

While squirrels mostly build their nests in trees, the close proximity of human settlements has driven them to explore nesting opportunities in our homes too. Moreover, the exploring instincts of a squirrel drive them to invade our properties even when they do not intend to nest here.

Attics are a favorite with squirrels and so are chimneys. Squirrels are also known to make their way into the walls of houses as well as any other space they might find in nooks and crannies like utility lines etc.

In a bid to get into these spaces, squirrels damage walls, vents and just about anything they see as obstacles, causing considerable damage.

How Squirrels Spread Diseases

Squirrels may be tiny creatures, but the havoc they are capable of causing on the health front surely defies their size. Serious diseases that these rodents can spread include the deadly Rabies and Lyme diseases.

Some of the other diseases squirrels can spread to both humans as well as other animals, including your pets, are Salmonellosis, Tularemia and Leptospirosis. If left untreated, all these diseases have the potential to cause serious damage to your health, and at times, could even prove to be fatal.
