squirrel sightings: because squirrels are active during the daytime, and because they often chew a large entry hole, many people often see the squirrels exiting and entering the house. that’s the best way to be certain that the critter(s) you hear are actually squirrels. why are they there? attics make a great place to live! they are warm and dry and safe. eastern gray squirrels are highly adaptable animals, and they are very agile. they are arboreal, which means they live in trees. female squirrels give birth to two litters of young per year, one in summer, and one in winter. the exact time of birth can vary a bit based on several factors, but generally the winter litter is born in early february and the summer litter in early august. much of the time, the female makes a leaf and twig nest high up in a tree. if she can find a hollow tree, that’s even better. if she can find an attic, that’s better still. squirrels are very urbanized animals, as you can see when you look out your window. they are members of the rodent family, and are excellent at gnawing and chewing on wood. combine these factors, and of course it makes sense that female squirrels chew their way into attics in order to have and raise young. in fact, male squirrels or any squirrel at any time of the year may find that an attic makes a good place to safely spend the night and store nuts. though the squirrels mostly live in the attic, they’ll also live in soffits, squirrels down in walls , between floors in the ceiling , and other areas inside the architecture. how did they get in? squirrels are excellent climbers. most of the time, they’ve chosen an attic based on convenience or proximity to their normal home range. squirrels are excellent chewers, so they often chew through wooden fascia boards or other areas to gain access. if there’s an easy and obvious way in, all the better. a house with wide-open holes and easy access stands a higher chance of seeing a squirrel enter at some point.
