What you should know about squirrel removal
Biology & Behavior
Eastern gray squirrels enter through openings as small as 1.5 inches. They chew structural wood, electrical wiring, and PVC roof boots, creating fire and water-intrusion risks.
When this happens in Owens Cross Roads
Two birth peaks: late winter (Feb–Mar) and late summer (Aug–Sep). Most attic calls cluster around these windows.
Alabama & Federal Regulations
Gray and fox squirrels are game species in Alabama; nuisance handling is permitted year-round at the property level for damage control.
Disease & Safety Risks
Low direct disease risk; primary concern is structural damage and fire risk from chewed wiring.
Materials We Actually Use
Hardware cloth (1/4" or 1/2"), galvanized metal flashing, stainless screws, replacement wood, fascia and soffit repairs. Never plastic, foam-only, or untreated wood.
