It is hard to imagine that something so small can be so destructive. However, there is always a solution for your problem. Squirrels may cause problems for homeowners by nesting in their attic, or in the exterior of the structure. They enter attics for warmth and safety; and often to birth, nest, and raise a litter. These pests are savage chewers and will gnaw their way through wooden structures to gain access to the interior. Once inside, they normally make scratching noises (usually at sunrise and sunset), leave droppings all over, and endanger all attic structures including electrical wires. This poses a fire risk.

Squirrels are known to carry numerous diseases. Some of the more common include Lyme disease, tularemia, typhus, plague, and ringworm, salmonellosis, and tularemia. These diseases are transmitted through bites, scratches, or other forms of direct contact with infected squirrels (such as contact with urine or feces).

There are several species of squirrel in the Ohio and Pennsylvania areas.

Squirrel Species In Your Area

Squirrels typically have a slim body, big eyes, soft fur, and a bushy tail. Their tail is used for communication and also for insulation against the colder temperatures. Squirrels have excellent vision and sense of touch.

Female squirrels can reproduce once or twice a year. After a gestation period of 3- 6 weeks, there are usually 3-4 young born. Although, they are capable of having between 2-9 young. The lifespan of a wild squirrel is between 5- 10 years.

Every case is different. Using a professional is the key to a successful treatment, that is why Expert Pest Management is here for you.

SQUIRREL HABITS

Squirrels are active during the day. Normally, you can see them on the ground foraging for food. They do not hibernate, but will normally spend long hours in their nest during the cold winter months. Squirrels are extremely vocal, they possess a vocal range that helps them communicate. Most of the sounds they make are considered an alarm call. Squirrels make them when they perceive a threat, it may sound like a bark, scream, chirp, or moan. They also communicate by flipping and flicking their tail around. Studies show that there are 2 separate types of alarm calls, one for an aerial threat, the other for a ground threat.

Squirrels are omnivores, but they mostly eat plants, nuts, seeds, fungi, and fruits. Occasionally, they will eat insects, eggs, and even small snakes.

Due to the possible damage to your property and your health, wildlife issues are serious and should be handled by the EXPERTS. You should never attempt to handle a squirrel, they are very skittish animals and can bite and scratch. That is why Expert Pest is here to help.
