Squirrels are most active in the morning and evening. Squirrels eat mostly nuts and seeds. You can hear them outside and they make calling sounds. They live in a variety of habitats, both forest and suburban or city areas. They establish home territories, and often communicate via scent, chattering, and flickering of the fluffy tail.
BEHAVIOR/ DISEASES:
Squirrels love to live in your cozy attics. They also love to chew, and will chew on houses or wires, ducts, pipes once inside an attic. People don't like the noises of squirrels running about above the ceiling or in the leaves, but it's really the chewing that's a problem. If squirrels chew on electrical wires in an attic, it can create a real potential fire hazard. Thousands of house fires are caused every year by the chewing and destruction of electrical wires caused by squirrels. Squirrels also bring in nesting material and leave urine and feces in an attic. They also commonly nest in a chimney, where they can sometimes get stuck and frantically scratch, or sometimes even get into the fireplace and inside the house. They do carry parasites, and are vectors for the diseases that fleas, ticks, etc can transmit. They also leave a lot of droppings and can contaminate the insulation of many homes.
