Squirrel Info:

Gray squirrels are the most frequent invaders of homes in the Kansas City metro area. Gray squirrels are active year round and usually breed twice a year, in mid to late winter and again in late summer. Two to four young are born several weeks later. The young usually remain with mom until the next litter comes along. Squirrels are opportunists and can exploit any weakness they find in roof lines, soffits, facias, and vents. This is especially true if you have wood shake shingles.

Nuisance Concerns:

Since squirrels often use homes and buildings as “their homes”, they can damage your home in several ways. Squirrels can use an existing hole or create their own by chewing through wood shingles, fascias, and soffits. Squirrels can also chew through roof vents and screens. This contamination can result in a biohazard risk to the dwelling’s occupants. Great Plains Wildlife and Pest Contol Services LLC can remove soiled insulation, decontaminate the affected areas and install new insulation in your attic.
