- Squirrels

-
In Maine three kinds of
squirrels cause problems for people. They are the gray squirrels,
red squirrels, and flying squirrels. Other than eating all the bird
food before the birds can get any, the most common concern is
squirrels inside the home.

Reds and grays often move
into a home late in the year when they are looking for a place to
hole up for the winter. Flying squirrels can take up residence any
time of the year, and often in large numbers. It's not uncommon to
remove a dozen or more flying squirrels from a site. Winter may find
8-10 red or gray squirrels in the home depending on whether young
babies are present yet or not.

Considering the damage
that squirrels can cause to insulation, structural components, and
electric wires (which could result in fires), we strive to remove
all squirrels present through lethal means, live trapping, and once
they are removed, through exclusion.
