Rotting animal corpses are a huge problem for homeowners each year. These intruders will die in or under your house for various reasons, and if you don’t find them soon, their decomposing bodies will start to stink, and attract carrion. The more the merrier? We doubt that.

To conclude, although squirrels may appear harmless and cute (and they are, for the most part), you need to take precautions if there are squirrels in your area. Trim your trees, lawn, and bushes. Remove food sources from your yard, and maybe even put up a fence to keep squirrels out. They’re cute, but considerably less so when they’re making a mess in your attic.
