Appearance - Squirrels are known for their large bushy tails and mostly gray coloring, but are not always just gray in color. Squirrels range from brown to gray as well as black and red depending on where you are geographically located in the United States. Adult squirrels are roughly ten inches to a foot long with the tail included in the measurement.
Behavior - Squirrels tend to enjoy roaming streets, sidewalks, and property as well as hanging in trees in the area. These are normal behaviors, but sometimes squirrels decide that they’d much rather live inside your house instead of remain outside where they belong. Signs of an infestation may be pieces of insulation or drywall missing from your attic which could be a sign of a squirrel nesting or beginning to nest. You may also see squirrel droppings or smell urine. They may chew electrical wiring. Outside, squirrels will dig up bulbs, chew house siding, and dig holes in the lawn to collect food.
Due to squirrels being more elusive when they are nesting, you will probably never find a squirrel that has made it to your main living quarters. It will tend to stay where it is quiet and safe such as a garage or attic.
Squirrels tend to enter houses that have trees close to windows leading to attics. If you live near trees where a squirrel could enter your home, then you may be more prone to a squirrel problem. Squirrels tend to come inside in the fall and winter months to keep warm and safe. Attics and garages tend to offer both of those amenities. More likely than not, squirrels are simply looking for a place to nest to keep their young as safe. Outside, they are attracted to bird feeders, trash bins, and fallen food (i.e. berries, acorns, nuts or birdseed).
Squirrel infestations left untreated can cause problems for your house and the health of your family. If they are living in your house then they are leaving droppings and urine as well. Both the urine and droppings of any species of animal are cause for concern and as they can carry many diseases. Squirrels are also known flea and tick carriers. One squirrel can have 5 babies every 6 months. It is best to call us to evict the squirrels from your home before any squirrel problems begin.

Presto-X is the best. Our house is about 1,300 square feet and near woods, so you can imagine our pest issues. One summer, our toddler couldn't use the backyard because of an infestation. Presto-X has been out four times now and most of our problems have been taken cared of. Our son can enjoy using the yard like we intended him to. We even have a favorite technician and request that she be the one to come back. She didn't rush through, saw what was needed, was meticulous, and even joked around with me when I was under the weather. For me, that's a great employee. We'll request her if there's another pest problem. Presto-X does an amazing job and I've already recommended them.
Presto-X is the first pest company we've tried and it's turning out to be a worthwhile investment. Our regular technician always does more than expected each time he comes out. It's nice to see that some companies and employees still know what great customer service is. You don't see that very often nowadays.
We've had a recurring issue with mice. For the past several months, Presto-X's technicians have been addressing the problem and following up accordingly. Will of course be suggesting them to whoever is looking for pest control.
I have a fulfilling relationship with Presto-X for two years. Even after moving to our new home the quality of work never changed!
I have observed that their techs are really well-trained and knowledgeable about the best way to solve our woodpecker problem. The techs showed professionalism and courteousness. The following treatments were also great. The other tech showed the same concern for our house and I am impressed that they make me learn something new every time. I have been so satisfied with the quarterly services, and I do not see evidence of pests anymore. Great job!
I just switched from another company. I had a mice problem in the mice in the attic and I couldn't wait for another week so I called Presto-X. Gratefully, they came right out and took care of the mice. My tech did an intensive job, and even discovered a wasp nest. I surely made the right decision to go with them
The Presto-X rep was extremely professional. He was really friendly and did an excellent job treating in and around my home in a very meticulous manner.
The two reps were real professionals. Looking forward to seeing positive results.
