Squirrels are responsible for over $2 billion dollars’ worth of damage a year to homes and businesses. They are the second most destructive animal, second only to the raccoon. Squirrels will chew through just about anything – wires, wood, and drywall – to find food. Since they are accustomed to humans, it is always recommended to call a squirrel removal professional working with a wildlife removal company.  BEDR Wildlife Removal and Nuisance Animal Control professionals remove squirrels and establish squirrel control solutions because they have the latest tips, tools and technology to trap, remove and exclude these nuisance pests.

There are several different types of squirrels in the United States. The most common type of squirrel found in Virginia and Maryland is the Eastern Gray Squirrel/Grey (Sciurus carolinensis), which is a medium sized arboreal or tree squirrel. The Eastern Gray Squirrel’s back is grizzled dark to pale gray and with a tail and stomach that are white to pale gray with a hint of red coloration on their hips, feet and head. Generally, there is no difference between males and females with respect to size or coloration.

Eastern gray squirrels have two breeding seasons per year.  Breeding occurs mostly during December through February and May through June. Females can have two litters per year, one during each breeding season with an average litter size ranging from 2 – 3 individuals. Squirrels are reproductive throughout their lives.

Squirrels easily adapt to their environment and whatever situation confronts them. Their survival depends on how quickly they learn the food sources around the neighborhood. If no food is available, squirrels will migrate for miles to find it and then set up his home nearby. Their nest, called a “drey”, is usually built high up in the trees. If no tree is available, the squirrel will build its nest in the next best thing, which is usually your attic!

Repair Squirrel Damage and Remove Contaminated Insulation in the Attic

Removing squirrels from your home is important because their front teeth always grow which means they constantly chew on things to keep their teeth sharp and at a manageable level. In nature, squirrels chew tree bark, twigs and other hard items found in the environment. However, in your attic, they will chew wiring, support beams, roof braces and electrical fixtures.

Squirrels in your attic will destroy your insulation by trampling it and pushing it down as well as contaminating it with urine and fecal matter. They also dig holes in ceiling drywall which is usually caused by a mother squirrel exercising her back leg muscles to prepare for birth.
