Forsyth Wildlife has performed nuisance squirrel removal service in the Metro Atlanta area since 1980. For the past 30 years our company has had the required licenses, insurance, and trained experts necessary to solve even the most difficult cases of squirrel invasions. These rodents will damage property on a daily basis and will not stop until physically removed and prevented from re-entering. Gray Squirrels are active in the morning and afternoon, Flying Squirrels are active at night, and both kinds of squirrels will chew wood, cables, and pipes; nest indoors; and destroy the R-value of insulation.
It is common for squirrels to be present in attics around Metro Atlanta, especially cities like Alpharetta, Duluth, Suwannee, Buford, Atlanta, Cumming, Roswell, and surrounding areas where growth and construction have been increasing for years. The most common scenario of all conflicts between squirrels and humans is the presence of squirrels in the attic. Nevertheless, sometimes Forsyth Wildlife finds squirrels that actually have entered living spaces and have hurt people and pets.
What is in your attic?
Squirrels chew, scratch, and chatter both in the daytime and at nighttime depending on the squirrel species. Most people become aware of squirrels in their attics when they hear some of these signs at night due to the fact that humans are quiet and resting at this time while the squirrels are fully active.
Determining if you have squirrels?
Determining if you have a squirrel in your attic is simple when the noises and signs you hear are in the daytime. Gray squirrels are the most common animal that lives in attics and makes noises at night. All other animals invading attics and structures are known to be active at night, so the chances of you having Gray Squirrels when hearing noises during the day are better than 95% (based on our 30 years of experience). If on the other hand, noises are heard at night, in most cases it is a combination of flying squirrels and rats, since these two animals frequently co-exist in attics. Other animals such as raccoons and opossums will live inside attics, but the noises and signs will vary drastically. Either way, if you have any signs of animal activity in your home, call Forsyth Wildlife for help!Determining if you have a squirrel in your attic is simple when the noises and signs you hear are in the daytime.
