Are Squirrels Driving You Nuts?

Squirrel & Chipmunk ControlYour yard has been overrun by nature’s most annoying rodents: squirrels and chipmunks. To get rid of these intelligent pests you will need the help of professional New England rodent control. We want the following information to educate you on the serious nature these annoying rodents present to you and your home.

Squirrels Are the Most Common Rodent Pests

New England rodent control has found that the most common pests are the red squirrel and the gray squirrel. Neither breed is protected in the northeastern region with both being categorized as game. If you have a rodent infestation with these squirrels you can contact rodent control to have them removed legally and humanely.

Squirrels Can Annoy You for a Decade

With the naked eye, you cannot tell the difference between the male and female squirrels. These pesky rodents can drive you nuts for nearly a decade because their lifespan is ten years! They breed twice a year, but will also provide you with some reprieve during the winter months when they hibernate.

Squirrels Can Burn Your House Down

Squirrels are one of the most intelligent pests for New England rodent control. They are known to chew through any and every wire and cord in sight! This makes them a serious fire hazard for any home by exposing conductors that short out and cause fires.

Power Outages Are Caused by Squirrels

Power outages have frequently been caused by squirrels. They climb and crawl all over power poles and power cables searching for food in capacitors and transformers. They are electrocuted when they touch a high voltage conductor and a grounded area at the same time which triggers a short circuit that shuts down equipment. Twice the NASDAQ stock market has been shut down by squirrels.

A Squirrel’s Annoyance Never Ends

Both red and gray squirrels are active during the day. They tend to make their nests in sheltered areas like trees and rooftops, often being incredibly persistent in building and maintaining their homes. This will have you suffering through the noise of them scurrying about and climbing all over your roof.

Chipmunks Aren’t Cute Cartoons

Chipmunks aren’t like the cute singing animals you see in cartoons, they are considered the janitors of the rodent world. These voracious scavengers are omnivores that will dine on decaying meat, bugs, grubs and seeds. They are burrowers that like to dig beneath retaining walls as well as digging up your garden’s plant bulbs. Producing at least two litters a year, chipmunks have become a nuisance for New England rodent control. The only break you get from them is when they hibernate through winter.

Take Your Peace and Quiet Back

You can be rid of these pesky bullies with New England rodent control. Squirrels and chipmunks are persistent pests that can be removed from your home and yard, but if not resolved quickly they will reproduce becoming a larger, more annoying problem! Don’t hesitate to contact professionals so you can get your peace and quiet back.

Get your sanity back today by contacting Bain Pest Control to get rid of the squirrels and chipmunks driving you nuts!
