Gainesville Squirrel Removal |

Jan 21st is Squirrel Appreciation Day

Today is a little known holiday “Squirrel Appreciation” Day. This is the day I reflect on how economically important squirrels have been to my family’s lives because we have been doing squirrel removal since 1998 in Florida . Squirrels in attics seem to be a big part of our nuisance wildlife control business near Gainesville Florida.

I have a lot to thank squirrels for being one of the biggest pest many in North America experience in their homes is the Gray Squirrel as they invade homes, chew wires and wake up potential customers taking residence above in their attics. Thanks to the squirrel many NWCO’s nationwide stay busy trying to stay one step ahead of them.

Some Facts For Home Owners To Consider About Squirrels:

The squirrel’s most damaging habit is gnawing entrances into attics. Once inside, they often use insulation or other materials found in the attic for nest building. Occasionally, they chew electrical wiring and cause short circuits and sometimes fires. Less frequently, squirrels mistakenly end up in the living area of a house. They find their way in through an open damper in a chimney or travel through the walls to the basement. Squirrels can also become trapped in chimneys. Nesting in houses is usually the only problem that flying squirrels cause.

Squirrel populations often build up to high numbers in older residential areas which have lots of mature trees, particularly oaks. Because their reproductive rate is so high, live trapping is not usually effective. A homeowner’s best bet is to protect his house by screening openings and removing access to food sources, such as bird feeders.

Attic louvers, vents, and fan openings should be screened with one-quarter inch mesh hardware cloth. Window screening is not sturdy enough to prevent their entering. Eaves should be closed up tightly and rotten boards replaced. Chimneys should be capped.

Hiring a professional to inspect your home, and begin excluding these lovely creatures many times can be done by the installation of one way doors allowing them to leave and no longer re-enter.In addition to installing one way excluders we will close off all access points and identify how to keep your home wildlife free.

I have blogged about them time to time and here are a few posts on another site.
