NORCROSS, GA, January 15, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts, an Atlanta tree removal services company, advises residents to trim back their trees to ensure that pests, such as squirrels, will not have access to their roofs. It may seem harmless to allow squirrels access to your roof, but it can have dire consequences.
Squirrels are notorious for moving about trees, power lines and roofs with ease, so it should be no surprise to see one scurrying across the roof; however, with winter's arrival, squirrels and other rodents will be looking for warm places to bed down for the cold months ahead. Giving these rodents a way to get up on your roof also gives them an open invitation to get acquainted with your attic.
"Squirrels and other rodents can chew through just about any material, and if they see a small hole leading into your attic, they can nest," states Gary Robertson, owner of Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts.
Cutting back your trees so that they don't reach your home is a good deterrent for squirrels, acknowledges these Atlanta tree trimming experts. While it may not completely eliminate the problem, it can discourage squirrels enough to get them to move on to the next home. If they don't have easy access to your roof, they cannot nest in your attic, causing a bigger problem.
Professional tree trimmers can remove dead and overhanging limbs from your trees to keep your home rodent- and accident-free. If you are concerned about squirrels this winter or if your trees need a quick pruning, give the Atlanta tree experts at Yellow Ribbon a call.
