Squirrels might look harmless and act afraid of humans for the most part, but these wildlife critters can be dangerous and may bring serious problems to your property when they invade. While squirrels don’t usually attack, they might feel trapped and threatened when they infest a home, increasing your chances of this rodent scratching or biting you. Squirrels also transmit several serious diseases, including tularemia, typhus, ringworm, and rabies, and they can introduce infestations of fleas and mites to your property.
Additionally, squirrels can cause destruction as they gnaw away at any item they come across on your property or leave behind their droppings. Controlling squirrels around your property is essential to avoid these dangers.
