Default they may seem cute!!

As GB states, they may seem cute and cuddly, but they are widely known for the property damage they can do if they get into your home or cottage. For those of us that close up for the winter, if they are around, you always run the risk of unbelievable damage if they get in looking for food or shelter. I have a friend who just heard from the guy who does "Winter Watch" for us over here on Sebago (Frye Island) that his new house is absolutely trashed from a red squirrel getting inside. I always used to tell my wife she didn't need to take everything home when we closed up, but after seeing what damage they can do, and they can get in the smallest of openings, I gladly pack it in the truck! One easy precaution we take is to close every interior door before leaving for the season. If they get in, I'd rather they trash just one room.
