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. 

Squirrel removal is an essential action for Virginia homeowners when squirrels are found in their homes.  Have you heard squirrels in your attic or behind your walls?  If so, then quick action to get rid of squirrels can save you money before it’s too late.

What is the most common squirrel in Virginia?

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.

When do squirrels breed?

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 their 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!

How to Get Rid of Squirrels in Your Attic

Your best option is always to call a professional wildlife and squirrel removal company. If you are hearing noises in your attic then the odds are you have an uninvited squirrel in your attic. The most common noise associated with squirrels in the attic is “scratching” and other noises that sound like you have a squirrel in your wall. These could all be signs that a female squirrel is preparing to have her young. Homeowners should address this immediately before the young grow old enough to begin causing damage to your home and electrical wiring too.

The tree squirrel should not be a welcome guest in your home. If you hear chewing or scratching in your attic don’t hesitate to call us. As squirrel removal specialists, we perform all services related to squirrel trapping, repairing damage, and excluding all kinds of squirrels including red squirrel removal, fox squirrel removal, and rock squirrel removal. Our trained wildlife removal professionals respond to all calls for squirrel control and removal in all areas of Northern Virginia and Southern Maryland.

How to 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.

Our squirrel removal technicians have experience with safely removing animal waste and insulation and replacing and repairing any damage caused by squirrels in your attic.
