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.
Would recommend them without hesitation. The technicians are efficient, courteous and quick to respond.
We recently signed up and have been happy with their availability in scheduling. The technicians are personable and address our concerns. We would highly suggest contacting them if you need pest control!
Active Pest Control is fabulous! The team in the office takes the time to address my questions, and the technicians are always professional, courteous and considerate. I appreciate the after-visit emails that show the charges. My only wish is for a shorter wait time on the phone. Maybe think about getting an auto callback to cut that down a bit. Other than that, I will be suggesting this company to everyone!
Extremely personable, fast to respond, and fair pricing. They came out twice for different rodent problems. The rep was so efficient, accommodating and considerate. I will definitely tell others about them.
The technician was amazing and he even went out of his way to be in our home sooner than our scheduled appointment. The technician kept me well-informed with regard to the services we received. I am a happy customer!
The guy from Active Pest Control set bait traps for mice. He was very polite and very kind to explain eveything to me.
Our rep is the most good-looking rep from Active Pest Control, even though he is an Eagles fan. Kidding aside, he gave enough notice before coming out and was very detail-oriented when it came to the treatment. Looking forward to have him do our treatment again.
Active Pest Control is nothing but GREAT. GREAT reps. GREAT customer service.
