Why Are Squirrels Chewing Through Your Roof?

Squirrels don’t just stumble into attics. They chew their way in with purpose — usually looking for a safe, warm place to raise their young.

What Makes Your Roof a Target

Squirrels are drawn to:

• Overhanging tree branches that provide roof access
• Loose shingles, soffits, or roof returns
• Gaps around vents and fascia boards
• Existing rodent or bird entry points

Once they spot a weakness, squirrels will gnaw through wood, siding, and even plastic vent covers. They have powerful teeth that never stop growing — which is why they’re constantly chewing.

Why It Matters for Your Home

A squirrel-sized hole in your roof might not look like much, but it can lead to major issues fast. Once inside, squirrels rip insulation, damage ductwork, and can chew through electrical wiring — a serious fire hazard.

They also leave behind urine, droppings, and parasites that contaminate your attic space. And if they give birth inside your home, the activity and damage will escalate quickly.
