What Type of Property Damage Can Squirrels Cause?

Similar to beavers, a squirrel’s teeth grow continuously throughout their life. To keep them worn down, squirrels chew constantly—making them extremely destructive once they enter your home. They gnaw on wood, structural components, and even electrical wiring, which can lead to costly repairs and serious fire hazards. Squirrels also leave behind nesting material, feces, and urine that contaminate attic insulation and create health concerns for your family.

Squirrel Exterior Damage

Squirrels enter homes for three primary reasons:

  1. To find a warm, protected nesting area
  2. To stay comfortable during colder months
  3. To follow the scent of previous animals in your attic

As a result, squirrel exterior damage often includes chewed holes in eaves, soffits, gutters, trim, construction gaps, and weak spots around your roofline. These openings allow squirrels easy access into your attic and can cause significant damage to fascia boards and roofing materials. Left unaddressed, these gaps also allow rainwater to enter, leading to ceiling damage, mold growth, and expensive interior repairs.

Squirrel Electrical Damage

Squirrels have a powerful instinct to chew, and when they enter your attic, they frequently gnaw on electrical wiring—creating dangerous conditions. This type of squirrel electrical damage
can:

  • Cause flickering or failing lights
  • Lead to HVAC system malfunctions
  • Increase the risk of electrical shorts and fires

In fact, squirrels are responsible for an estimated 30,000 house fires each year. If squirrels are not removed quickly, you may be placing your home and family at serious risk.

Squirrel Insulation Damage

Squirrel insulation damage is another major concern, especially since squirrels have babies twice a year – in spring and fall. Attics are ideal nesting locations, but squirrels destroy insulation by creating bathroom areas, leaving feces and urine, and contaminating the materials. Their droppings may contain harmful pathogens such as Salmonella and Leptospirosis.

Over time, squirrels also compress and flatten insulation, reducing its R-value and leading to:

  • Higher heating and cooling bills
  • Additional repair costs if insulation must be replaced
  • Potential sheetrock damage from moisture or sagging areas

Protect Your Home From Recurring Squirrel Damage

If squirrels are not properly excluded, they WILL return each season. Protect your home, family, and investment by calling 888-391-3330 or requesting your free assessment online with Varmint Gone today.

How Do You Get Rid of Squirrels?

Do you see squirrels running along your gutters? Hear scratching or scurrying in your attic, walls, or ceiling? Notice chew holes in your soffit, siding, gutters, or trim? If you answered “yes” to any of these, you likely have squirrels in the attic of your home. Removing squirrels from an attic can be complex and is always best handled by a professional squirrel removal company.

Squirrel Removal

Once you confirm a squirrel issue, you’ll want a company that removes them humanely and ensures they stay out for good. Comparing removal methods can be confusing—different companies use different levels of thoroughness, effectiveness, and long-term protection. So what is the best way to remove squirrels and keep them out?

The One-Way Door System is the best way to remove squirrels for several reasons:

  • Humane – it does not harm the squirrels.
  • Fast – whether one squirrel or several, they are gone within 2–3 days.
  • Effective – squirrels must exit through the one-way device for food and water and are unable to return.

To permanently prevent re-entry, it is critical to seal all potential access points—not just the current hole. If only one entry is sealed, squirrels simply move along the roofline until they find another weak spot. Only a thorough, full-home seal will keep your attic squirrel-free. Always choose a squirrel removal company that takes the time to meticulously locate and seal every vulnerable area.

Squirrel Decontamination

The longer you have squirrels in your attic, the bigger the contamination problem becomes. Professional squirrel decontamination removes:

  • Nesting material
  • Feces and urine
  • Fleas and parasites
  • Mold spores
  • Contaminated insulation

A technician will also check for and repair electrical damage, then fluff your insulation back to its original condition. If the contamination is severe, adding new blow-in insulation may be necessary to restore your home’s energy efficiency and R-value.

Homeowners Insurance

In most cases, squirrel removal and squirrel damage are not covered by standard homeowners insurance policies. Squirrel damage is often classified as a maintenance issue, leaving exclusion and repairs as out-of-pocket expenses.

However, some policies may help cover repairs if squirrels entered through a type of structural damage already covered under your policy—such as storm-related roof damage. They might pay for the storm repair, but not the squirrel removal or full exclusion work. Understanding your coverage before scheduling service can help you plan more effectively.

Choose the Right Squirrel Removal Specialist

Not all squirrel removal companies offer the same level of quality, thoroughness, or long-term protection. Place your home in the hands of a qualified specialist who seals your home correctly the first time. Call 888-391-3330 or request your free assessment online with Varmint Gone today.
