Signs of a Squirrel Infestation in Your Home
Atlanta is home to two common squirrel species — the gray squirrel and the flying squirrel. Distinguishing between each species is important for appropriate home squirrel removal. While both threaten your garden and home, they tend to infest differently.
- Gray squirrels: These squirrels are active during the day. Signs of an infestation include scratching noises in the attic, chewed wires, wood damage, droppings, nests in trees or attics, and garden destruction. Rid-A-Critter uses traditional squirrel traps to capture gray squirrels. Our methods ensure that the animals are not harmed but safely removed from your property.
- Flying squirrels: They are nocturnal and social, often inviting others to join them. Look for nighttime noises, droppings, chewed wires, nests, and small entry holes. You may see them gliding at dusk or dawn. Due to their gliding capabilities, we use a specific trap that accommodates this.
