A quick patter across the ceiling just after sunrise, then a scrabbling inside the wall. Squirrels are charming at the bird feeder, but once they move indoors they chew, nest and soil insulation with surprising speed. Here is how to confirm what you are dealing with, move them out humanely and understand where insurance does and does not step in.<\/p><div class=\"bpsc-takeaways\"><p class=\"bpsc-takeaways__title\">The Short Version<\/p><ul><li>Daytime noises at dawn and dusk often point to squirrels rather than mice or raccoons.<\/li><li>Timing matters: sealing an opening during baby season can trap young squirrels inside.<\/li><li>Gentle deterrents and one-way exits generally work better than trapping.<\/li><li>Gnawing damage is usually treated as a maintenance issue, but a sudden loss like a fire may be handled differently.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><h2>Why Squirrels Are More Than a Nuisance<\/h2><p>An attic is ideal real estate for a squirrel: warm, dry, quiet and full of soft insulation for nesting. Unfortunately, squirrels need to gnaw constantly to keep their teeth in check, and the materials nearby are your wiring, roof sheathing, vent screens and ductwork.<\/p><p>Over time they can compress or contaminate insulation, stain drywall with urine and leave droppings that carry odors and potential disease. Chewed electrical wiring is the most serious concern, since exposed conductors can spark.<\/p><h2>Signs You Have Company Upstairs<\/h2><h3>What you hear<\/h3><p>Squirrels keep a daytime schedule, so you are most likely to hear them early in the morning and again toward evening. Light, quick running or rolling sounds (often acorns or nuts) are classic clues. Noises in the middle of the night point more toward mice, rats or raccoons.<\/p><h3>What you smell<\/h3><p>A faint musty odor can grow into a strong, unpleasant smell as droppings and urine accumulate. If a room near the attic suddenly smells off, it is worth a look.<\/p><h3>What you see<\/h3><ul class=\"bpsc-checklist\"><li>Chewed edges around soffits, fascia boards, roof vents or gable vents<\/li><li>Holes about the size of a fist near the roofline<\/li><li>Shredded insulation or leaves and twigs piled in corners of the attic<\/li><li>Tree limbs that reach or overhang the roof, giving squirrels an easy bridge<\/li><li>Squirrels repeatedly coming and going from the same spot on the house<\/li><\/ul><h2>A Humane Eviction Plan<\/h2><p>Getting squirrels out takes patience. The goal is to make the attic unappealing, give them a way to leave and then make sure they cannot get back in.<\/p><ol class=\"bpsc-steps\"><li><strong>Check the calendar.<\/strong> Squirrels commonly raise young in early spring and again in late summer. If you might be in baby season, avoid sealing openings until you are confident the young are old enough to leave with their mother.<\/li><li><strong>Make the space uncomfortable.<\/strong> Wildlife groups often suggest mild, harmless deterrents near the nest: a bright light (one that is safe around insulation), a radio tuned to talk programming, or rags soaked in a strong-smelling substance like cider vinegar. These cues signal danger and encourage the mother to relocate her family.<\/li><li><strong>Find and seal secondary openings.<\/strong> Use heavy-gauge wire mesh, metal flashing or sturdy sealant to close up every gap except the main entry point.<\/li><li><strong>Test the last opening.<\/strong> Loosely stuff newspaper into the remaining hole. If it stays undisturbed for several days, the animals have likely moved on.<\/li><li><strong>Close it up for good.<\/strong> Seal the final opening with durable materials, then trim branches back several feet from the roof and keep bird seed and pet food stored securely.<\/li><\/ol><div class=\"bpsc-callout bpsc-callout--warning\"><p class=\"bpsc-callout__label\">Before You Set a Trap<\/p><p>Trapping should be a last resort. Many states and municipalities restrict trapping and relocating wildlife, and relocated mothers often lose track of their young. If deterrents do not work, a licensed wildlife control professional can handle removal legally and humanely.<\/p><\/div><h2>Cleaning Up After They Leave<\/h2><p>Once the squirrels are gone, assess the damage. Wear gloves and a mask when handling droppings or soiled insulation, or hire a professional for large areas. Have an electrician inspect any wiring that looks chewed, even slightly, since damaged insulation on a wire can be hard to spot. Replace contaminated insulation so it can do its job again.<\/p><h2>How Insurance Typically Treats Squirrel Damage<\/h2><p>This is where things get specific, and the answer depends on what was damaged and how.<\/p><div class=\"bpsc-table-wrap\"><table class=\"bpsc-table\"><thead><tr><th>Situation<\/th><th>How it is often handled<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Chewed wires, torn insulation or droppings in the attic<\/td><td>Usually excluded from homeowners policies, since rodent damage is considered gradual and preventable<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cost of pest removal<\/td><td>Generally not covered<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>A fire that starts after a squirrel chews a wire<\/td><td>Fire is a covered peril on most homeowners policies, so the resulting fire damage may be covered<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Squirrels chewing wiring or nesting under the hood of your car<\/td><td>May be covered under optional comprehensive auto coverage, subject to your deductible<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><p>Every policy has its own wording, conditions and exclusions, so treat this as a general guide. If you are unsure, the team at Callicott Insurance Agency can walk through your policy language with you.<\/p><div class=\"bpsc-callout bpsc-callout--tip\"><p class=\"bpsc-callout__label\">Prevention Pays<\/p><p>Because the damage itself is rarely covered, a fall roofline inspection is one of the most cost-effective things you can do. Look for gaps, loose vent covers and branches touching the house before cold weather pushes animals to look for shelter.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"bpsc-faq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><details><summary>Can squirrels really cause a house fire?<\/summary><p>Yes. When they gnaw through the protective coating on electrical wiring, the exposed wire can arc or overheat. That is why any chewed wiring should be checked by an electrician.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Do repellent sprays and ultrasonic devices work?<\/summary><p>Results are mixed. They may help as part of a broader plan, but sealing entry points and removing access routes is what keeps squirrels out long term.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Will my homeowners policy pay for a wildlife removal company?<\/summary><p>Typically not. Pest control and removal are generally considered maintenance costs.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>What time of year are squirrels most likely to move in?<\/summary><p>Fall and winter, when they look for warm shelter, and late winter into spring, when females seek a safe place to give birth.<\/p><\/details><\/div><div class=\"bpsc-cta\"><p class=\"bpsc-cta__title\">Questions About What Your Policy Covers?<\/p><p>Talk with Callicott Insurance Agency about how your homeowners and auto coverage respond to animal damage, and where you might want more protection.<\/p><\/div><p class=\"bpsc-disclaimer\">This article is for general information only.
