Squirrels - A squirrel is a small or medium-sized rodent of the family Sciuridae.
There are over 365 species of squirrel's or squirrel-like mammals. The cartoon characters
have been pretty accurate: Squirrels are quick, clever, and persistent animals. They're notorious
for raiding bird feeders, digging up plants either to bury or eat seeds, and for inhabiting sheltered
areas, especially like your attic. Squirrels are considered pests because they chew on just about
anything. They have to. Their teeth never stop growing, so this prevents over-growth. Homeowners
need to carefully seal attics and basements to prevent property damage caused by nesting squirrels.
Unlucky squirrels are often the cause of power outages. The animals will enter transformers or
capacitors looking for food, then get electrocuted causing a power surge that short-circuits the neighborhood.
