Most squirrel problems come down to three things: they get into attics, they gnaw, and they come back through the same gap unless it is sealed.
Attic nesting is the headline issue. Squirrels use the roofline, gable vents, and soffit gaps to get in, then build nests and raise young. The noise is the symptom owners notice; the damage to insulation and stored items is the cost.
Gnawing is the danger. Squirrels chew framing, stored belongings, and wiring, and chewed wiring is a fire risk. Re-entry is the frustration: trap a squirrel and another follows the same opening within days. Exclusion - sealing the gaps with branded products after removal - is what breaks the cycle.
