What Squirrels Do Inside Your Home
Unlike rats and mice, squirrels like to retrieve materials collected outdoors to build nests inside Frisco, TX homes. However, several factors converge at times to produce a limited supply of twigs, leaves, and bird feathers. Out of resources, squirrels turn to items inside of your home, such as magazines, newspapers, and clothing. After building home sweet home, a family of squirrels returns outdoors to search for food. Food sources might not be readily available, which means squirrels turn their attention on easy to access bags and boxes of dried food stored in the kitchen and basement.
Outdoor water becomes a limited source for nourishment during winter, as ponds occasionally freeze and precipitation declines. Squirrels search for water in the damp locations of your home, such as the basement and garage. You also have to be concerned about leaky pipes and clogged drains. Squirrels even turn to dripping sink and bathtub faucets for liquid replenishment. Imagine your surprise when you come home to find a family of squirrels taking turns to drink out of the dripping kitchen sink faucet. Raised toilet lids welcome squirrels to abundant sources of water as well.
Raising a Squirrel Family in Frisco, TX
Although not as prolific breeders as fellow rodents, pregnant squirrels can produce up to seven babies per litter. Why is this important? The reason is the same for any wild animal seeking a secure place to deliver and raise their offspring. A Frisco, Texas home protects squirrels from predatory animals like as owls. The attic is likely where a mother squirrel will hang out until delivery day. Attics offer plenty of space and a warm location to raise the kids.
Blind at birth through the first few weeks of life, baby squirrels nurse about every two hours. This means momma squirrels needs to remain nourished throughout each day. After about eight weeks, the kids begin following their mother around the attic or basement. Around six weeks later, the family of squirrels starts to make the transition back to outdoor living. Although their stays are not as long as the amount of time raccoons live in homes, squirrels have plenty of time to cause massive destruction.
