703-881-3170
Alexandria Squirrels in the attic is a very common problem that we find in the spring and Fall of the year in Northern Virginia.
Squirrels trample down all your insulation and leave fecal and urine behind. This creates a very disgusting problem. Dirty Insulation!!!! Squirrels in Downtown Alexandria, are very used to people, so when they see you coming down the street, they don’t mind. They don’t mind you so much, they actually don’t mind living in the same structure as you. Squirrels start to dig holes in your Fascia board, after they have defeated the board they then move around and about your attic to get a nice quiet spot out of the way to make their nests, sometimes referred to as a “drey”. After this nice quiet spot is found, they start to dig in the insulation to create a big mound with a hole in the center, kind of looks like a igloo. This is where the squirrels will live all winter long. This is also where she will have her babies in the spring. lets review what we know so far.
