Yes. Sometimes just before winter and almost always at the beginning of spring. Molting and Mites are often mistaken, one for the other.

Alternative chews/shelters, mesh/metal/wire coverings, sprays and traps are ways to keep squirrels from continuing to chew through wood to get into sheds.Specifically, the choice of control depends upon the reasons why squirrels are trying to get inside the shed. For example, a mother-to-be can be looking for shelter in order to give birth. Females and males may be looking for alternate chewing sources -- to keep their ever-growing teeth properly trimmed -- when the normal sources -- such as nuts -- are sparse, unacceptable or unavailable.The least extreme measures constitute:Providing alternate sources for squirrels to attend to raising young and tending to teeth;Reinforcing or transforming wood exteriors, with mesh or wire coverings and metal sheets.More extreme measures involve spraying exterior walls. The most extreme measure will be setting live traps, by which wood-chewing squirrels are transported to another habitat. For those who care about wildlife and recognize the contributions which squirrels make to green space, the last measure is questionable. Removal means that the problem is no longer the shed-owner's. But exile may not be kind to the squirrel, who may experience "new-kid-on-the-block" syndrome and may not be able to claim a share of edibles and resources in habitats already claimed by other squirrels and wildlife.
