Episode Details

Squirrels in Connecticut are causing a stir, invading homes and wreaking havoc. Pest control experts like Michael Sarnese are overwhelmed with squirrel-related calls. These critters, particularly the eastern gray squirrels, are destructive, chewing through wiring and insulation. Homeowners notice the chaos through constant scratching noises and visible damage. Squirrels can be aggressive, especially when protecting their young, and can even cause bigger issues like burrowing under foundations. Experts recommend humane solutions like one-way doors and sealing all entry points. Spring sees peak calls as foraging activity increases, but winter drives the invasions for shelter. To keep them out, homeowners should scout for entry points, eliminate water draws, and avoid tempting them with nearby bird feeders or gardens.
