We just had are old vinyl siding replaced with some Hardie board siding. Looks great !
Between 6:30-7am almost every morning, I hear this loud scratchy sound. Only lasts about 10-15 seconds.
Come to find out, squirrels are chewing the lowest board just above ground level.
Seems they do it to grind down their fast growing teeth.
We have dogs but they don’t do it when the girls are outside in the yard. It’s the shaded far side of our house by our a/c unit. Hitting the wall or taping on a window gets them gone but the damage is already done.
So does any one have a method that keeps these pests away ? I’ve read on the web and the dog hair is not working. We live inside city limits so various means of shooting are out. Thinking about sprays but It’s a light color siding so I don’t want to stain it with sprays or oils.
I might try a trap but there are sooo many of these little critters.
