Do you have squirrels in a commercial warehouse in Collierville TN? If you have squirrels in a commercial warehouse, you are not alone. Squirrel activity in a warehouse is very distracting and disruptive. Squirrels can build nests inside machinery, contaminate products and create foul odors. In addition to the disruption, squirrels are also potentially hazardous to employees due to the diseases they carry. Luckily for you, we are experts at getting squirrels out of your commercial warehouse.
Why Do Squirrels Go In A Commercial Warehouse Anyway?
Squirrel Breeding And Gestation Period
Squirrels usually breed twice a year from December to January and can breed again around June. Before breeding begins, there is a game of chase that takes place. Multiple male squirrels will chase the female. Once they mate, she will find a safe, quiet, warm place to build a nest for her young.
If you hear squirrels on your roof, they may end up trying to come in. A female squirrel is pregnant for around 44 days and will give birth to around three babies. The baby squirrels will stay in the nest until they are around ten weeks old. After this, the mom will let them start to explore. She will teach them how to forage for food and locate safe shelter.
Squirrel Damage In A Commercial Warehouse in Collierville TN
If you have multiple squirrels in your warehouse, you run a higher risk of damage. Squirrels can do a lot of damage in a short amount of time. They can chew through electrical wires which can cut off your building’s power supply. This also creates a fire hazard. Their nesting material is typically made of very flammable materials. Another issue you may have to deal with is damage to your HVAC and PVC pipes. This is due to their incessant chewing. A squirrel’s teeth never stop growing, so squirrels have to constantly chew on things to file them down.
Squirrel Diseases And Bacteria
Squirrels carry diseases, bacteria and mites which they can bring into your warehouse. You could unknowingly touch an area where squirrels have urinated or been around their fecal droppings. If squirrels nest in air ducts, the ventilation system can stir up airborne fecal particles. Unaware of the danger, you and your staff could be breathing in these particles. This is hazardous to your health and can make you very sick. Cleaning up after any wildlife should be handled with the proper safety equipment and only by a trained professional.
Squirrel Removal And Trapping Process
Our company offers an outside trapping service and a fecal cleaning and deodorization service. We will come to your property and set multiple live cage traps inside your warehouse. The technicians use bait that is proven to be very effective. We catch as many squirrels as we can in a seven-day trapping period and relocate them far away from your property.
We will come out a total of three times during this seven-day period. At each visit, we will rebait, add traps, and move traps around as needed. Although we are very successful at trapping, there is no guarantee with an outside trapping service. We can’t make a squirrel go into a trap, but we are usually very successful. Once trapped, we will relocate the squirrels at least 20 miles from your location. You don’t have to worry about them finding their way back to your warehouse.
Squirrel Fecal Cleanup
After the squirrels are caught, if you find yourself looking at a lot of feces and urine, don’t stress out. We can help you with that! Apex Wildlife Control takes sanitation very seriously. We wear full suits, gloves, masks, booties and goggles. This protects the technicians from any airborne particles that may get stirred up during the cleanup process.
Apex Wildlife Control prides itself on giving exceptional service and quality products. We are always working to make our company better and work more efficiently for our customers. We want you to be able to call our company for any service, confident that we will be able to meet your company’s needs.
