Common Squirrel Species Found in Alabama

Three types of squirrels are common in Alabama are:

• Gray squirrels
• Fox squirrels
• Southern flying squirrels

The most common type of squirrel is the gray squirrel, and this is the species that is most likely to cause you problems. Gray squirrels are gray with a white belly and can weigh up to 1.5 pounds.

Fox squirrels are the largest and have a rust or orange-colored coat, like a fox. The southern flying squirrel is small, nocturnal, and prefers living in heavily wooded areas.

Understanding the Problems Caused by Squirrels

Squirrels are responsible for many problems, including:

• Damaging and contaminating insulation
• Spreading disease, including airborne diseases
• Making a mess all over your property
• Gnawing on personal property, electrical systems, and more

Squirrels tend to nest up in trees, but problems arise when they decide to create their nests in your attic or crawlspace. If you hear scurrying at night, see signs of squirrels nesting on your property, or have an overabundance of squirrels on your property, we can help.

Identifying Signs of Squirrel Infestation

Squirrels are pretty harmless, right? Well, yes and no. While squirrels aren't aggressive,  they can be quite a nuisance to you and your home. But, how do you know if these pesky pests are causing damage to your home?

Look for these 3 signs to determine if you have a squirrel problem on your property:

1. Droppings: A clear sign is small droppings inside your garage, or even in your attic. Because it can be difficult to identify the difference between squirrel droppings and rat droppings, contact us for a professional inspection and assessment. 
2. Foul Smells: If you have a squirrel infestation, there’s a chance that some of the squirrels are not freely coming and going from the property.  If you start to notice a foul smell, it could be a dead squirrel in your walls or underneath your property.
3. Damage Around the Property: Another sign of a  squirrel problem is teeth marks on the outside walls of your home, or even along the roofline.
