It is not unusual to see squirrels running around residential neighborhoods, taunting the dogs and dodging cars. For the most part, they stay out of everyone's way and keep to themselves. Issues arise mainly when there is too large a population of these little critters. They begin fighting for territory with one another, and will look for new places to build their nests.
What tends to happen in these cases is that they might begin to exploit weak spots in your roof to gain access. Here, they will build a nest. You are especially at risk for this during the colder months since they will be attracted to the warmth that has spread from the main rooms of your home.
While squirrels might look cute and harmless, do not let their furry appearance fool you. They can become vicious when frightened or when protecting their young. They can also carry diseases that are harmful to humans. Rabies is one of them. This is especially dangerous because an animal with rabies does not need any provocation to attack. Animals and small children are particularly at risk simply because they do not know any better.
Their droppings also breed bacteria and germs. Having this in your home can potentially cause illness to you and your loved ones.
