Unfortunately, squirrels can also be troublesome, wear out their welcome, and test the patience of homeowners. Squirrels eat buds from trees, strip off bark, eat fruit and nuts from trees, and dig in gardens and lawns. They also monopolize backyard bird feeders, chew on deck railing, lawn furniture, and wood trim on exterior doors. All species of squirrels occasionally raid birds' nests or nesting boxes, eating eggs or young birds. Given the opportunity, squirrels establish nests in attics of homes, garages, or storage buildings.
