Squirrel Control

·     Just like rats and mice, squirrels are mammals of the order Rodentia.

·      These rodents all have teeth that continuously grow unless filed down. That is why if you have squirrels, rats or mice in your attic, you hear scratching noises. 

·     Scratching noises in the attic is usually from rodents gnawing on the wood or drywall in the attic. 

·     When squirrels nest in the attic the squirrels need to be removed to prevent further damage. 

·     Complete Animal Removal will humanely trap the squirrels from the attic and relocate them to one of our properties. 

·     Gray squirrels’ mate in the late winter. 

·     They have a second litter mid-summer if there is an adequate food supply. 

·     Several males compete for one female in a ritual chase at breakneck speeds up and down and through the trees, leaping from branch to branch. 

·     The female then selects the one she perceives as the strongest male, rarely mating with the same male again — nature’s way of preventing inbreeding and, thus, preserving the integrity of the species. 

·     After a gestation period of about 60 days, the young are born blind and hairless. There usually are four babies and each is one inch long and weighs only one ounce. 

·     The young of the second litter remain with their mother for the winter.
