Do you have squirrels in your drop tile ceiling in Arlington TN?
Do you have squirrels in your drop tile ceiling in Arlington TN? We specialize in the removal of squirrels in the drop-tile ceiling of homes and businesses. In many commercial buildings, it is common to have drop-tile ceilings. This creates a space that squirrels can easily maneuver through if they have found a way inside of your building.
Squirrel Mating Season And Reproduction Rates
Squirrels will often gain entrance into a building when they are preparing to nest. The mating season is around December to February and also around June. Once squirrels have mated, they begin to look for a safe, quiet and warm place to raise their young. The gestation period for a pregnant squirrel is around 44 days. On average, the female squirrel can birth a litter of two to four babies.
Fecal And Urine Damage Caused By Squirrels In Your Drop Tile Ceiling
Where there is more than one squirrel, there is a lot of fecal and urine damage to your insulation. This is a big concern, especially with bacteria. If the nest in your drop-tile ceiling is near your ventilation system, it can filter the fecal particles through the air. This is harmful and can make you sick. If there is enough urine build-up, it can create mold, which is very toxic if breathed in.
Squirrels carry a lot of diseases. If you unknowingly touch an area where a squirrel has urinated, you can transfer the disease to yourself and others. This happens by touching surfaces or food without washing your hands.
Why Squirrels Chew On Electrical Wires
It is important to have your electrical wires checked if you suspect a squirrel is in your drop-tile ceiling. Squirrels are known to chew through just about anything and that includes electrical wires. A squirrel’s teeth never stop growing. Squirrels will constantly chew to regulate the size of their teeth. If a squirrel lets its teeth grow too long, it will not be able to eat properly.
How To Remove Squirrels In Your Drop Tile Ceiling in Bartlett TN
There are ways to keep squirrels away and create natural deterrents. A big help is cutting tree limbs that are hanging close to the building. Squirrels use tree limbs like we use interstates. They can still get on your roof even if you cut back overhanging limbs, but it requires more work. A squirrel can actually climb right up the side of your building if it wants to. The object is to make your roof inconvenient to access. Trim any bushes near your building so the wall and vents are more exposed. This will enable you to see if any squirrels have been chewing or trying to get inside of these areas. Remove any easy access to food or garbage. Squirrels will get into bird feeders if they can, so removing that source of food is a big help.
Squirrel Removal And Trapping
Sometimes there are just too many squirrels in the area and population control is needed. If there is an overabundance of squirrels, it starts to create problems for homeowners and businesses. As the squirrel population increases, the need for shelter becomes greater. This makes your commercial building or home much more appealing.
Before it reaches that point, one way we handle this is our outside trapping service. If you have seen chewing and notice signs of squirrels, it is best to take care of it without delay.
Relocating Squirrels In Your Drop Tile Ceiling
Apex Wildlife Control offers an outside trapping service that lasts for seven days. During this time we leave live cage traps on your property. Any squirrels caught during this time period are relocated approximately 25 miles away. This helps reduce the area population and reduce the likelihood of future problems. Hopefully, this will help keep the population under control and the squirrels will leave your building alone.
If you are hearing noises above your head and in the walls, it is past time to call a professional. Apex Wildlife Control is here to help with any squirrel problems you are experiencing. When you call, we will send a technician out to your property to do an interior and exterior inspection.
Squirrel Inspection
During our interior inspection, we look for fecal droppings, chewed wires and damage to your insulation. Furthermore, we also look for damage to your HVAC as well. We document and take pictures of our findings during this time. Afterward, we perform the exterior inspection. This inspection begins at the foundation of your building and goes up to your roof. We are looking for all possible and actual entry points. The technicians take pictures of all of their findings and show you how the squirrels are getting in and out.
