SQUIRREL REMOVAL GUELPH
We trap and remove nuance squirrels from attics, roofs, sheds or anywhere else using humane but effective squirrel removal techniques. We not only trap and remove but also seal all entry points, repair and clean the affected areas.
Squirrels are very skilled survivors that have adapted to urban and suburban environments effectively. Our homes, roofs, sheds are just like extensions of their own environment. As a result they often live, breed and feed in attics and roofs.
In the process, they can cause serious damage to your property. Squirrel damage can range from making holes to your roof that can cost thousands in repair costs, to chewing electrical wiring in your attic that can lead to serious dangers like fires. Untreated, squirrels can quickly strip wires in your attic down to the copper.

Squirrels commonly den in busy urban and suburban areas, and tend to do even better in these areas where there is ample food and shelter, like in Guelph, than more remote natural habitat. Squirrels give birth twice a year, in the spring (January-April) and in the fall (August-September). There are 2-4 babies per litter. Squirrels have two breeding seasons per year, and most breeding occurs in December – February and May – June of each year. Females can have two litters per year, one from each breeding season.
The best approach for removing squirrels is to first a complete home inspection, roof and attic to identify where the squirrels are entering, what damage they are causing and if there is any nesting or feces that needs to be removed. Squirrel removal is also necessary because squirrels leave behind potentially harmful bacteria.

SQUIRRELS - DIET, HABITS AND OTHER FACTS
There are about 22 different types of squirrels in Canada but the majority is the Eastern Grey Squirrel and the Red Squirrel. The former are the more common of the two and sometimes have all-black fur due to a genetic defect. Grey squirrels can also have brown fur. The red squirrel is smaller but equally populous. Its fur color may change during the different seasons.
Diet
Squirrel diet may vary slightly depending on the species although the most common foods include walnuts, hickory nuts, acorns, bird seeds, berries, mushrooms, fruits and seeds. Squirrels rarely eat green plants because their digestive system cannot absorb cellulose. The animals require about 1.5 pounds of food every week to survive although the exact amount may vary by species.
Breeding
Squirrels typically breed twice a year and give birth about six weeks after mating. A female squirrel may mate with multiple partners. Male squirrels show dominance to attract females by chattering loudly or by slapping tree barks. Male squirrels do not play a role in child rearing and leave immediately after mating. Baby squirrels are born naked (without fur), blind and deaf. They are waned at eleven weeks and reach sexual maturity at 11 months. The average lifespan of a squirrel is 3-4 years.
Habits
Squirrels are diurnal animals which mean that they are active during the day. Although they stay in their nests for extended periods of time during winter, they do not hibernate. The critters like to live in tree cavities or may make nests using organic material such as barks, twigs and leaves. In urban areas, they prefer woodlands and parks although they are happy to nest inside buildings such as homes. Their favorite nesting locations indoors include under the deck, in the attic, inside the chimney and in crawl spaces.
Squirrels are excellent foragers and hoard food during summer or warm weather when food is plenty. They store (cache) the food for the winter. They stash the food mainly by digging holes in the ground although they may hide in it flowerpots, abandoned burrows and other locations. These animals communicate by purring, screaming, chattering and barking. Squirrels also communicate through body language such as stomping their feet and wagging their tails.

Hire a Professional to Remove Squirrels from Your Home
Much of the squirrels’ natural territory has been invaded by humans which is why they nest in homes. Do not attempt to trap a squirrel unless you are trained to do it safely. You may expose the animal to predators or death by exhaustion, dehydration and starvation. It is also illegal to transport captured wildlife for more than a kilometer without a permit.
Hire a professional wildlife removal company in Canada to evict the animals humanely and seal your home with galvanized steel mesh and metal flashing to keep wildlife out permanently.
