Four or five squirrels are rather amusing as they cavort through the trees and walk the tightrope of telephone wires. It is quite amazing how they manage it. But, too many of them in the area becomes a problem and Atlanta squirrel removal will be needed.

Dark gray fur on his back and light gray fur on his stomach gave him the name, gray squirrel. Of course, some differences in color can occur in the species. Occasionally one is born with black fur or as an albino with all white fur.

They can swim, and when they do, their tail serves as a rudder. Their four front teeth continue to grow throughout their lives. They wear them down when they chew wood and other hard materials.

Ordinarily they have a five-year life span in the wild. In captivity they have been known to live for up to twenty years. Natural predators keep the population down, hawks and owls for example.

If squirrels take up residence in your attic you will need a professional to help you get rid of them. There is an inherent danger due to diseases carried by the little rodent. First the experts will inspect the home to assess the situation. Then they will formulate a plan to remove them.

They are captured in live traps. Then they are taken to a wildlife area and released. After the removal is complete, there is a clean-up that will be necessary. Finally, the home must be reinforced against future invasions by the little critters.

Due to the fact that they leave pheromone scent wherever they go, your attic will now attract more squirrels. Vents and cracks must be sealed. The chimney can be squirrel-proofed by covering it with a strong screen.

You must get rid of them to protect your health. They leave urine and droppings that pose a danger. They leave a bad odor behind and often carry parasites that can be left in the attic.

So, when you hear those scratching noises overhead during the quiet hours of the night, you may have squirrels overhead. It is also possible to have more than one species of animal up there. Rats and mice can co-exist with the squirrels.

The help of a professional pest-removal service can get rid of all of them for you. They will identify what is up there and devise the best plan for taking them out. Different methods are used for each species.

All these rodents are quite adept at invading a home. Call for help and allow the professionals to relieve you of the problem. As a homeowner you deserve to limit the inhabitants of the house to you and your family.
