Why Do Squirrels Enter Acworth Attics?

Squirrel Mating seasons are typically in the early spring and the early fall. Squirrels gain access to your attic by chewing the fascia of your home above your gutters or in gaps in the roofline, such as where dormers are installed. They can also chew trim or other weakened areas of the roof line to gain access to your attic space.

What Damage Can Be Caused by Squirrels in the Attic?

Squirrels can damage insulation and use it to help build their nests. In addition to this, a squirrel can chew electrical, cable and telephone lines located in the attic. However, the most damage is typically done to the exterior of the home. Their chewing to enter the attic can allow water and debris into your attic areas. After a litter of squirrels is born, the babies will leave the nest and begin their own families. At this time, they will search for new areas in the attic to build nests.
