Squirrel teeth constantly grow. Squirrels must wear down their
teeth by chewing on wood or metal. Structural damage occures to support
beams over time.
Insulation Damage.
Squirrels use insulation in
their nests. As nests become saturated in urine or parasites such
as fleas they will destroy more insulation for new nesting
Wire Chew.
Squirrels assume that wires are sapling
branches. They chew on the wires insulation thinking that it is bark
seeking the bark meat inside. Major fires are started due to squirrels
chewing wires.
