It’s impossible to pinpoint exactly when it happens but before you know it, squirrels can do a significant amount of damage to the exterior of your home, particularly to areas of wood, fascia or siding that might already be vulnerable.

They have been known to cause thousands of dollars in damages to residential properties in a single season!

Squirrels are one of the cuter critters in the area. We see them out every day, running across the street or climbing a tree. For the most part, they do not mean anyone any harm.
