Long-Lasting Solutions to Keep Squirrels Away from Homes in Athens, Eatonton, Greensboro, Madison, and Milledgeville

Squirrels may appear harmless in your backyard, but when they gain access to your attic or walls, these persistent rodents become destructive pests that threaten your home's safety and structural integrity. Squirrels can chew through electrical wiring and create fire hazards, tear apart insulation for nesting material, and gnaw on wooden beams and fascia boards.

Know Your Local Squirrels

Lake Country’s lush natural landscape is home to multiple squirrel varieties. Different squirrel species exhibit unique behaviors and activity patterns, and understanding which type has invaded your home helps us develop the most effective strategy.

Call CatchPro Wildlife Removal if you’re dealing with:

• Eastern gray squirrels. The most common squirrel in our area, these large diurnal rodents are active during daylight hours and frequently raid bird feeders and gardens. Gray squirrels prefer attic spaces for nesting and commonly chew through roof vents, soffits, and fascia boards to gain entry.
• Southern flying squirrels. These smaller, nocturnal squirrels glide between trees using membrane flaps and are strictly active at night, making scratching and scurrying sounds in attics during evening hours. They live in large colonies, so finding one usually means that more are close by.
• Fox squirrels. Larger than gray squirrels with rusty or reddish coloring, fox squirrels are less common in residential areas but appear on properties bordering wooded areas. They prefer ground-level feeding but will nest in attics when suitable cavities are available.

Each species requires tailored removal techniques based on their size, behavior, and activity schedules.

When Is “Squirrel Season”?

Recognizing when squirrels are most active can help you identify problems early and understand the urgency of removal during critical periods. Most species remain active year-round and don't hibernate, though their activity decreases during extremely cold weather. They're most active during early morning and late afternoon hours.

Squirrels are most likely to invade your home during their two breeding seasons. Late winter through early spring (February through April) marks their first breeding period when pregnant females seek secure attic nesting sites. A second breeding season occurs in mid-summer (July through August), leading to another surge in invasions as females prepare for second litters.

Southern flying squirrels operate on completely different schedules as strictly nocturnal animals. They emerge shortly after sunset and remain active throughout the night. Flying squirrels breed once annually in late winter, with peak nesting activity during February through March.

Fall is a critical period for all squirrels as they intensify food caching behaviors and seek winter shelter. September through November sees increased attempts to access structures as squirrels prepare for colder months, often chewing new entry points to access previously excluded areas.
