<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1694489, member: 11521&quot;]Squirrels did a tremendous amount of damage at my father&#039;s house. I first discovered them in the attic. They had chewed the insulation off a lot of wiring. That is a fire hazard. I repaired that myself (taping the wires with electrical tape) - at least the damaged wiring that I could see. They also destroyed most of the insulation on the ductwork (especially the flex duct) in the attic. Not to mention the peeing and pooping and packing down of the insulation. </p><p><br /></p><p>After the house fire in the attic (caused by the cleaning lady, not the squirrels) I discovered they were not only living in the attic; they were also living in the walls. I found six locations where they built nests inside the exterior walls. And they were living in the soffits. They had moved a ton of insulation from the attic to the soffits along with pine straw, wheat straw and other bedding material. I also found many more locations where they had chewed the insulation off wiring in the walls and soffits. </p><p><br /></p><p>The squirrels lost their cozy place to live when the house burned. In the meantime some of them have relocated to the attic of the shop / garage behind the house. (I have photos of them coming and going if you are interested.) I am rebuilding the house and I am installing hardware cloth to keep the squirrels out. </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why I hate squirrels.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
