Squirrel Noises in the Attic
How to describe squirrel attic activity, including daytime scratching, chewed roof edges, nesting material, and entry-point sealing.
Squirrel activity is often fast, repetitive, and concentrated around roof edges or soffits. The important quote detail is where they are entering.
Noise pattern
Squirrels are commonly active during the day. Listen for quick running, scratching, chewing, or movement that starts near the roofline and moves across the attic.
Entry points
Common entry points include fascia gaps, soffits, roof returns, vents, and chewed edges. Mention any trees or wires that give access to the roof.
Prevention
Removal without sealing can lead to repeat activity. Ask about one-way doors, exclusion material, trimming advice, and whether the provider checks for multiple openings.
