sounds like a roofer did a bad job and looking for a scapegoat. I doubt that a squirrels bladder is big enough to hold enough pee to stain a ceiling unless they keep going in the same spot which I doubtWhere do squirrels urinate? Do they do it in roofs?
Where ever they get the urge. If your roof does not leak and you do not have squirrels in you attic, I doubt that the ceiling stains are to be blamed on the squirrels.
However, the next time it rains hard, go up into the attic with a light and check out the roof for leaks. That is the most likely cause.
If you do have squirrels in the attic, you should hear them running around up there. If so, buy a live trap, not a small one but a medium size one and bait it with bird seed. You will catch them in no time at all. There may be several up there so keep setting the trap. Once you trap them do not turn them loose alive or they will return. Fill a garbage pail with water and toss the trap in. Remember squirrels bite hard.
You know how they have two big nests in the trees. One is the bathroom and the other is their home.
If they did do it on the roof, do you have an attic? wouldnt it seep into there before your ceiling? I dont know, but the stains could just be from water damage.
Whenver you're walking outside, and you feel that drop of rain... followed by no rain... instant squirrel urine...or babybatter
They urinate wherever they want. They also use urine as a scent marker for their tracking purposes, so it's possbile they peed on your roof to mark their territory.
When squirrels live in your attic, they also use it as their personal toilet. Squirrels have a high metabolism, eat a lot, and leave behind up to 20 droppings a day. They also urinate quite a bit. The droppings and urine not only smell bad, but they pose a biohazardous risk, and the smell attracts new squirrels. Squirrels, like all rodents, depend upon smells that both mark territory and serve as a sort of scent map to help familiarize them with their environment. Once a squirrel has scent marked an area, squirrels years into the future will know that the area is a good squirrel habitat, since squirrels have successfully thrived there before
I'd say they go where ever they want. Are they in your attic? Either a rodent or a roof leak. . . .
im pretty sure they urinate in in tree holes for sure!
in burrows
