Why squirrels chew

Squirrels chew to wear down their teeth and create access. In homes, that can mean chewing fascia, soffit edges, vents, insulation and wiring.

Signs of squirrel wire damage

You may notice scratching during the day, flickering lights, chewed insulation, small droppings, nesting material, or repeated activity near the roofline.

Do not block the entry too early

Like raccoons, squirrels can have young inside. The entry point should not be sealed until the animal activity has been inspected and the final hole is safe to close.

How Solace handles it

Solace can inspect the entry points, recommend trapping or exclusion, and quote repair work if squirrels have damaged vents, soffits, fascia or other access points.
