Squirrel Description and Habitats<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In this page you will learn interesting Squirrel facts.<\/p>\n

The most commonly species of squirrels<\/a> found in North American are the Gray Squirrel, the Northern and Southern Flying Squirrels.<\/p>\n

The gray squirrel is 18\u201d to 20\u201d long with the tail being half of that length weighing 1 to 1.5 lbs.\u00a0 They are grey above and white below and in the summer their head, legs and sides become washed with tawny brown.\u00a0 Their eye ring is puffy and their tail is long and bushy.<\/p>\n

The gray squirrel typically breeds from mid- December through January have young in February and March.\u00a0 Gray squirrels typically have 2 to 4 young and may have a second litter in June or July.<\/p>\n

The southern flying squirrel is 9\u201d to 10\u201d long including a 3.5\u201d tail, weighing 1.5 to 2.5 ounces.\u00a0 The northern flying squirrel is slightly larger being 10\u201d to 11\u201d long including a 4.5\u201d tail, weighing 3 to 4 ounces.\u00a0 They both have dense soft fur that is grayish brown above and a creamy white underneath. The eyes of a flying squirrel are exceptionally large in relation to its body size. At a glance the flying squirrel looks like it is \u2018flying\u2019, but in reality it glides from branch to branch.<\/p>\n

The most noticeable feature is the loose fold of skin, which extends from the wrists of the forearm to the ankles of the hind legs. This fold of skin is stretched when the legs are extended to form a wing-like surface that allows the flying squirrel to glide from tree to tree. The tail is furred and flattened.<\/p>\n

The southern flying squirrel typically breeds in early spring having young in May or June.<\/p>\n

The northern flying squirrel breeds in the late winter typically having young in April or May. They both will typically have 2 to 7 young.<\/p>\n

All three types of squirrels maintain a similar diet; all through winter, they eat fruits and nuts (especially acorns, hickory nuts, and walnuts) and birdseed (they love bird feeders<\/a>), if available. In early spring, they switch to tree buds, then in summer, to fruits, berries, and succulent plants. They will also eat insects; bird eggs; mushrooms; corn; garden, orchard, and field crops; and when very hungry, will chew tree bark and lick the sap.<\/p>\n

Flying Squirrels are more likely to eat bird eggs, nestlings, insects, and carrion.<\/p>\n

Squirrel Damage and the Health Hazards<\/h3>\n

One of the most common animal removal services we provide is to remove squirrels from an attic. During certain times of the year squirrels will enter homes and attics through existing holes or they will chew their way through weakened areas of roofs, vents and soffits to gain access to a warm safe attic. Once inside, squirrels can cause significant damage.<\/p>\n

Some of the most common forms of squirrel damage associated with squirrel infestations are:<\/p>\n
