How did squirrels get inside

Squirrels can get inside your home in a number of ways- through the roof, windows, and even through the chimney. Cracks in the walls and foundation are also ways squirrels may gain access to your home. If you have trees near your home, squirrels may jump from the tree to your roof. They can also enter your home through pet doors.

Squirrels can be attracted to your property by a number of things, including:

- access to food: they will eat anything, so make sure to keep your property free of food scraps and bird feeders;

- shelter: provide them with a place to hide, such as a tree or a tall shrub.

What do Squirrels eat?

Squirrels are omnivorous animals that eat a variety of things, including nuts, seeds, fruit, insects, and other small animals. They are also known to hoard food, which helps them survive when food is scarce during the winter months. Squirrels live in many different habitats, including forests, fields, and cities. They are very active animals and can scamper up trees or across the ground. They are also good climbers and often build their nests in.

Grey Squirrels

They typically weigh around two pounds and measure about 18 inches in length, including their tail. Grey Squirrels have large ears, sharp teeth, and a bushy tail. The fur on their body is typically a light grey but can also be black or brown. Male and female Grey Squirrels look very similar, but males generally are a bit larger than females.

Breeding cycle

When female grey squirrels are ready to mate, they will find a male and stay with him for many days. After that time has passed, the females will have their babies. The babies will live with their mother until they are old enough to start living on their own, which is around eight weeks. After that, the babies will reach reproductive maturity at the age of 10 months to 1 year, adding to the population of squirrels in your home like a vicious cycle that only Partington Squirrel Trapping experts can stop.
