An interesting story just emerged from England about a wild pack of criminals that have been running through a town cutting a huge amount of expensive telephone lines and an extraordinary amount of anti-lock braking system cables on cars. Who could be committing such a heinous crime? Why would someone want to cause such trouble and risk injuring so many people? The mystery has been solved! The answer finally came after “high visibility police patrols were carried out.” It was discovered that these crimes were not that of some knife wielding vandal seeking revenge against society; but instead wild squirrels have gone nuts! They were the culprits in the crimes! Squirrels can be very destructive pests indeed.
New Jersey squirrels are known for the funny backyard antics for certain. They playfully romp to and fro and entertain us with their tree leaping agility.
The problem with NJ squirrels is that they have a propensity to gnaw on anything that they can sink their always growing teeth into. Once a squirrel has entered a home, they can cause considerable damage as well. In Illinois, a homeowner just returned home to find the interior of his home in shambles, and his television and water turned on when a way-ward squirrel found himself trapped inside his humble abode.
Squirrels can create serious problems for New Jersey homeowners when they decide to take up residence in the attic during the wintertime. These cleaver creatures can easily chew through the strongest of roofing materials, or rip through soffits or vents to gain entry into NJ homes or businesses. Once inside, they contaminate the insulation with their urine, feces, and parasite filled nesting materials. New Jersey squirrels should also be a huge concern to residents because they are known for chewing through electrical wires and have caused fires in homes and businesses. Additionally, NJ squirrels pose a problem for residents because they will bite when handled or cornered, and they can carry the rabies virus.
