Squirrels
 

Apparently I have a squirrel living in my crawl space. So far it
hasn't been a problem, but is there any reason I should evict it?

If it dies, you can have an insect problem.

If it chews on wires, you could have a fire or dead squirrel.

If it urinates, you could have smells.

Other animals that aren't so nice, could also get in your crawl space.

The squirrel wasn't wearing a tag, "Henry Hager" by any chance?

Yes; by the time you realize it's a problem, it can be a disaster.

In addition to the other issues raised, squirrels multiply. One
squirrel can become several, then many, in short order. Evict it
before it becomes a problem--and be ready for an extended effort.

To get rid of a sqirrel in my attic, I had to build a sheet metal
exit chute and block off several holes chewed through the soffit.
It took a few weeks, but I finally won the battle.

The problem was aggravated by a neighbor who like to overfeed them.

If you want to reduce the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,
go plant trees.
