Squirrels and bats
With the temperature dropping and every living thing looking for a warm place to spend the winter, the attic your Charlotte or Concord, NC house may pick up some unexpected and unwanted tenants, doing damage that only a roofing company can fix. Rats and mice you know about, but they can invade any floor and usually come in at ground level. If you’re specifically worried about your roof and attic, here are two invaders to watch for:
- Squirrels. Squirrels can easily jump from a tree branch to your roof. If there’s any sort of gap in your roof, a squirrel can get through it. They can also chew through roof timbers and make one. Once they’re inside, they chew up the timbers some more and bite through wire insulation, creating fire hazards.
- Bats. Bats can get into your home through a half-inch-wide gap, and a colony of them can leave big piles of guano in your attic. And unlike squirrels, which are most active during the day, bats in the attic will make most of their noise while you’re trying to sleep.
