Since these materials are so easy to access, these critters may decide to make their home right on the roof or even in the gutter. This could cause further damage and other issues.

Not only can clogged gutters provide nesting material, but they’ll also provide a food source. Remember, standing water can attract insects, and birds and other pests eat these critters.
