What to Know About Squirrels

- There are 200+ species of squirrels worldwide. In North America, common species include gray, fox and red tree squirrels, ground squirrels and flying squirrels.
- Female squirrels typically have two litters a year, with an average of two to four young per litter. Litters are usually born in late winter and midsummer. The average squirrel lifespan is between five and six years.

Eliminate Squirrels from Your Business – Now
Squirrels can be a nuisance. They gain entry through extremely small holes, which can lead to getting inadvertently trapped. In these cases, they often build nests in eaves, soffits, walls, and crawl spaces, causing significant damage to the interior and exterior of the building.
Squirrels do the most damage with their teeth. They often gnaw on electrical wiring, which puts commercial properties at risk of electrical fire. They also can damage structural support beams, shingles, lead pipes, and gutters.
Our squirrel control specialists are familiar with their behaviors and equipped with the training and tools to safely remove them from your commercial property.
