Fox Valley Wildlife Control receives more calls for problems caused by squirrels than for any other type of nuisance wildlife. Appleton, Green Bay, Oshkosh, and surrounding communities have an abundance of squirrels! Squirrels can live anywhere with trees and thrive in suburban environments. As rodents, they are great at gnawing and chewing. They give birth to young twice a year and will use any warm, dry space they can find. They are obviously extremely agile, and can climb pretty much anything, and go anywhere they please. Thus, they cause some of the following problems:
- Chewing into an attic and setting up a nest
- Fire risk from chewed electrical wires in attic
- Crawling into a chimney and living there
- Chewing on the wood of a house, porch, shed, etc.
Squirrel Removal in the Fox Valley
Fox Valley Wildlife Control receives more calls for problems caused by squirrels than for any other type of nuisance wildlife. Appleton, Green Bay, Oshkosh, and surrounding communities have an abundance of squirrels!
The most common species found in our treetops include eastern gray squirrels. We also have plenty of red (pine) squirrels and flying squirrels, while many homeowners also report seeing black squirrels in their neighborhoods. Technically, black squirrels are eastern gray squirrels that have a genetic trait called melanism. Melanism causes the pigment in their skin and fur to be dark-colored.
Squirrels give birth to their young in the spring and early summer. Most squirrels will have a litter size of 2 to 7, while some eastern gray squirrels may also have a second litter in late summer. Juvenile squirrels grow quickly and love to play and chase each other. If you have juvenile squirrels in the attic or soffit of your home, they are not bashful about making their presence known. Peak squirrel activity usually occurs early morning, early evening, and sporadically throughout the day.
Squirrels may den in attics, soffits, sheds, or chimneys. Like most rodents, squirrels are chewers. They chew through siding, aluminum soffits, vents, or wood to gain entry to the desired area to nest. If you think you may have squirrels in your home, you want them out as soon as possible. Our methods for removing squirrels are fast and effective.
Squirrel Removal from Attic
When you have squirrels in your attic, it almost always involves an adult female and a baby squirrel. Here are general steps for removing squirrels from an attic.
- Step 1: The specialist will inspect the home, and find the point of entry, which are often obvious. They will leave the primary point of entrance open but seal shut all secondary entry holes.
- Step 2: Now to investigate the attic. The professional might find the litter of baby squirrels are small enough to remove by hand or find out them to be large enough to run.
- Step 3: If the house is in good repair, they will mount a one-way excluder door on the primary entry/exit hole.
- Step 4: If chewing back inside is a concern, they will also mount a repeater trap that catches all the squirrels as they exit.
