Are you a Baltimorean whom comes across squirrels often in your community? You’re not alone. Large populations of squirrels inhabit communities in the Baltimore Metropolitan Area. Why are there so many squirrels inhabiting communities in Baltimore MD? Squirrels are spotted all around Baltimore because they have a good food source. Squirrels feed on foods such as seeds, nuts, fungi, berries, bird eggs, and baby birds. Some communities in Baltimore that frequently come across squirrels are Timonium, Towson, and Carney. The squirrels in these areas often live in acorn trees, particularly in backyards. If you have a bird feeder in your backyard, there are a good chance squirrels will visit the bird feeder to eat the nutritional seeds. As for nesting, squirrels prefer to use home attics and crawl spaces. How much home damage can squirrels cause to my home? Squirrels can cause a great deal of damage to Baltimore Homes because squirrels commonly enter Baltimore homes from rooftops by chewing through home exteriors. Here is a list of common home materials squirrels chew:

Once an entry hole is made, squirrels can access your home at any time and bring in rainwater that causes water damage and mold problems. Squirrels can even make Baltimore homes more vulnerable to fire hazards. According to national studies, Squirrels cause 25,000 fires annually in the United States by chewing electrical wires in home attics.
