Yes, squirrels do use insulation, primarily in the construction of their nests, known as dreys. They gather materials such as leaves, twigs, moss, and fur to create a warm and protective environment for themselves and their young. This insulation helps them stay warm during colder months and provides a safe space from predators.
Yes, animals can often get through insulation in attics, especially if the insulation is damaged or improperly installed. Common pests like rodents, raccoons, and squirrels can chew through insulation material to create nests or find shelter. Additionally, gaps, holes, or weak spots in the attic's structure may allow animals to enter and disturb the insulation. It's important to seal any entry points and repair insulation to prevent wildlife intrusion.
Squirrels usually reside in the trees and rarely nest on the ground but chipmunks often times burrow and nest in holes in the ground rather than holes in the trees. Chipmunks like to live in the insulation of the walls of your house if there is easy access into a wall near or below ground level as well.
Rats are ground dwellers and don't do what squirrels do; which is jump from tree to tree. Squirrels need the extra stability that having a fluffy tail gives them during "flight" in mid-air when they jump from branch to branch.
