So, you have visitors in your attic, and it sounds like they are settling in for a long stay. Perhaps they are squirrels and perhaps not. Call Nature First Pest Control to find out exactly what is in your attic. If you have squirrels, they can do a considerable amount of damage to the insulation, wall board and wireing.

In Beaverton, Tualatin, Tigard, and the greater Portland Metro area, there has been an alien invasion of the Eastern Fox squirrel. Nature First Pest Control first noticed a change in the squirrel population in the residential areas about 15 years ago. I had admired the beautiful large grey squirrels here and noted how they seemed to prefer the conifers to the deciduous trees in the Beaverton, Tualatin,Tigard area. Then my technicians at Nature First Pest Control told me that they noticed that the squirrels had changed from silver to a fox brown color and had significantly changed their behavior patterns.

After talking with local wildlife officials and some animal rescue folks, the facts have emerged.

Indeed, the Portland area Native squirrel population has been invaded and in many cases taken over by the Eastern Fox Squirrel. These invaders have not only taken over this territory but have managed to inbreed with the Native Grey Squirrels. This has resulted in a dramatic extermination of the native Grey Squirrel populations.

The Fox squirrels (not the Native Greys) have a nasty habit of girdling whole sections of Maples and Oaks. They kill whole sections of trees to create a mass of dead leaves from which to make nests. I have 3 severely damaged trees in my yard in Beaverton, demonstrating the effects these alien invaders have on our local environment

These invaders also chew holes in your roof valleys and overlap areas to gain entrance to your attic. Call Nature First Pest Control if you hear noises in your attic.
