A telltale sign is the presence of nests made from shredded insulation or other materials, often found in attics, chimneys, or eaves. Look for small holes in your roof, siding, or soffits, as squirrels often create entry points to access your home. Droppings and urine odors in hidden spaces can further confirm their presence, posing hygiene concerns. Outside, squirrels may raid bird feeders or dig up gardens, leaving behind chewed feeders and disturbed soil. If you frequently see squirrels near your roof, gutters, or vent openings, it’s likely they’ve already gained access to your property.

when squirrels make their way into your home, they can leave behind plenty of clues. One of the most common signs is unusual noises in your attic or walls. If you hear scratching, scampering, or squeaking sounds— especially early in the morning or evening—it’s likely squirrels are nesting or exploring your space. Another key indicator is chewed wires, wood, or insulation. Squirrels constantly gnaw to keep their teeth sharp, which can damage your property and even create fire hazards.

Keep an eye out for visible entry points, such as small holes in your roof, soffits, or siding. These are often used by squirrels to access your attic or crawl spaces. Inside, you may notice shredded insulation or nests tucked into quiet corners. Droppings or urine odors can also signal squirrel activity, creating hygiene issues if left unaddressed. Outside, squirrels often raid bird feeders, leaving behind chewed feeders or scattered seeds, and they can dig up gardens while foraging for food.

Seeing squirrels frequently near your roofline, gutters, or vents is another strong indicator that they’ve already made themselves at home. If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s time to take action. Squirrels can cause significant damage and disruption if left unchecked.
