Squirrels are cute little rodents that live in trees. They eat nuts, seeds, and other things that people don’t want in their yards. They can be a nuisance because they like to get into cars and steal food. Squirrels are also known to carry diseases.
How do squirrels get into cars?
Most squirrels are curious and will try to get into cars if they see them. The first step is to make sure your car is locked. Squirrels can slip through a small opening, such as a gap between the door and the frame. If your car doesn’t have a key, you can use a security system that uses motion sensors or a padlock with a built-in alarm. If you have an alarm system, be sure to keep your keys away from the sensor. If you can’t lock your car or if you don’t have an alarm, consider using a deterrent such as bird feeders or toys that scatter nuts when moved.
