Squirrel Trapping Solutions

If you notice squirrels in your attic in Clarksville and Middle Tennessee, you may think that trapping the squirrels will be easy. So you go down and buy a live cage trap and smear peanut butter in the trap, but do not catch anything, or notice the peanut butter gone, but no capture. What did you do wrong? Or you happen to catch a squirrel in a trap and drive it down to the nearest park to let it go free. Is that legal? Most over-the-counter live cage traps available are not sensitive enough to repeatedly capture squirrels, or will be damaged beyond repair if you accidentally capture a skunk or raccoon. This explains how a squirrel can get all the peanut butter out of the trap without getting caught. Even if you do happen to catch a squirrel, is it ok to take it to the nearest park and release it? No, in Tennessee, you can not transport any wildlife or release wildlife anywhere other than your own property without the proper permits, which includes squirrels.

Types Of Squirrels In Clarksville

Squirrels in Clarksville consist of Grey Squirrels (Most Commonly Seen), Red Squirrels, Flying Squirrels, and the Fox Squirrels, with variations in sizes between the species. Most of the damage caused by squirrels is relatively the same with teeth growing constantly and the need to keep their teeth filed down by chewing. Squirrels of varying species can cohabitate in an attic. Flying squirrels and grey squirrels will cause most of the nuisance animal removal complaints.

Grey Squirrels

Tennessee’s Eastern Grey Squirrel is the most common squirrel species in the state. They frequent most residential neighborhoods, acrobatically robbing bird feeders, running across roofs, and chewing and gnawing their way into attics. Grey Squirrels give birth twice a year, once in the spring, and again in late summer. Average litter is 3-4 young at a time. Grey Squirrel nests are easily spotted in winter, as leaves turn brown giving away their location. With the ability to jump at incredible heights, run up the side of homes, and adapt well in residential settings, they are causing problems everywhere. Interestingly the greatest tool of a squirrel is its tail, with the use of its tail for shade from the sun, balancing, as a umbrella, and even as a rudder when swimming.

Flying Squirrels

Tennessee Flying Squirrels in reality do not fly, but rather glide through the air, or from trees to your roof. Increasing in populations, there are certain areas in Tennessee that has Flying Squirrel problems. Flying Squirrels have young twice a year, once in spring, and again in late summer, and can have as many as 2-7 young per litter. Removal of Flying Squirrels should only be attempted from a professional, as they do possess the ability to return if not taken far away. Flying Squirrels are nocturnal in most cases, and active throughout the year.

Squirrel Dangers

Disease information for Squirrels is not too much to worry about, except we had a confirmed case in Franklin, TN, of a homeowner contacting Leptospirosis from coming in contact with squirrel urine while in her attic pulling out Christmas decorations. The zoonotic disease came on much like the flu virus, and was dismissed as such until the effects started getting much worse prompting hospital treatment. While disease transmission is rare from squirrels to humans, it is possible in areas that contain fecal or urine accumulation and nesting. According to the Center For Disease Control, between 1976 to 2001 there were 39 human infections of Typhus Fever from Flying Squirrels or nests. In addition to diseases, a concern should also be to ectoparasites which includes fleas, ticks, mites, and even mosquitoes that have bitten a infected animal. A far greater concern than diseases or ectoparasites in squirrels, would be if you have squirrels in your attic, chewing on electrical lines.

Squirrels Chewing Electric Wires

Squirrels are to blame for a estimated 30,000 house fires each year and millions in damages. Squirrels have caused power outages in cities and states nationwide, and with teeth growing 2″-3″ it is understandable why they have to keep them filed down by gnawing. Squirrels will chew on things in a attic, automobile, and even outside power lines. Why? To keep teeth filed down and to see if something is edible. We have created the perfect habitat with plenty of oak trees, shade, shelter, and even bird feeders, that squirrels have the knack of utilizing. Every State has been affected by Squirrel Chewing, causing Electrical outages, even Nasdaq, Airports, Businesses, and hundreds of thousand residents nationwide. Squirrels have surpassed the cyber hackers as the greatest threat to our electrical grid. The only permanent solution is to remove problem squirrels from the area. For Commercial clients, these situations require immediate assistance and urgency. Normal wildlife operators wont have 100 traps to bring out to a commercial squirrel job. We are available when seconds count.

Squirrel Damage To Your Home

If you have squirrels, and go in your attic, and make sure everything is out, and quickly go outside and repair the opening. You’re in the clear right? Wrong. Squirrels that have developed the natural behavior pattern of entering your attic, will keep that behavior pattern until the are removed from the area. A squirrel can literally chew a softball size opening in wood in a matter of minutes. If you have previously had squirrels removed, and the squirrels have came back, and re entered your attic, why did that not last? All wildlife communicates by scent markings. If you have ever seen a dog mark a fire hydrant, another dog smells the fire hydrant, that’s what i mean. Body oils that rub off a squirrels fur at the openings it is entering, or fecal and urine accumulation in a attic, nesting, these things are like a calling card to a squirrel. Squirrels will come back if any of these items are left in the area. That is why it is important to use a professional.
