Austin Squirrel Control Services

Residential & Commercial Squirrel Removal Services in Austin

Squirrels can be a nuisance, but squirrel removal services like A-Tex Pest Management can rid your home or business of these bothersome rodents and prevent future problems. Squirrels are known for making scratching and scurrying noises in ceilings and walls during the daytime, typically at dawn, when they are leaving their nests to look for food. You may also find small holes in your siding or gutters where squirrels are gaining entry into your structure. If you hear noises in your attic during the daytime, there is a good chance you have a squirrel infestation. 

Squirrels are diurnal animals, meaning that they remain active all year round in Austin. Typically, they build their nests in trees. During the winter, they usually prefer nesting in holes of decaying tree branches. Squirrels can inadvertently cause significant damage to property wiring and structures if left unchecked, not to mention the risk of spreading diseases through droppings.

Squirrels often enter Austin homes and commercial buildings for shelter and nesting. They commonly use attics as their den sites and have a couple of litters each year. If squirrel removal is not implemented immediately when the squirrel problem is first identified, the population of squirrels living in or around a building will continue to multiply. Timely intervention can prevent extensive damage and maintain safety in both residential and commercial environments, ensuring peace of mind for property owners.

Local Wildlife & Squirrel Behavior in Austin

In Austin's vibrant ecosystem, squirrels are among the most adaptable wildlife. Their ability to thrive in both urban and suburban settings often leads to unexpected encounters on properties. Due to the year-round mild climate, squirrels tend to remain active and seek shelter and food consistently, which increases interaction with human environments. Property owners must remain vigilant for signs of nesting or food caching, especially during peak seasons in spring and fall.

Additionally, regional development can sometimes displace squirrels, pushing them towards residential areas for safety. This behavior is compounded by Austin's expanding suburbs, making professional intervention more vital. Understanding local wildlife laws can also be beneficial, as existing regulations guide humane wildlife management and conservation efforts. Engaging with services like A-Tex Pest Management ensures you're in compliance while effectively managing any squirrel intrusions.
