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.
Our technician did a wonderful job and got rid of our pest problems. He's got a great attitude and I would absolutely recommend him.
I've been with Presto-X since the start of the year and I've been happy. The technicians are polite, well trained and address all my concerns. Going by my experience with them so far, I'd recommend them to friends.
We had an amazing visit from the specialist. He was prompt and was there when he said he would be. The original concern was spiders inside the house, but he also inspected the kids' play set outside when we said we had seen some bees. As it turns out, they were carpenter bees and were drawn to the wood. He also threw away a few pieces of trash that he came across while he was working. That really impressed us because it was beyond his scope of work. We appreciated how considerate he was. We've already noticed a decrease in bug activity. Thank you so much!
I've been having really great service from them. Thank you!
The rep who did same-day service was very professional, efficient, and pleasant. Presto-X comes highly recommended!
I highly recommend Presto-X because they do a good job, you can trust them, and their reps are very friendly.
Everyone at Presto-X is a pleasure to work with. Even when I had to reschedule multiple times, they were nothing but kind and considerate. My house is practically in the middle of the woods, but they got rid of the spiders and cockroaches, which I haven?t seen since then. With the Presto-X family, you always come first.
The rep explained the treatment to me in great detail and did an awesome job, providing superb service.
Awesome service from super nice folks at Presto-X.
