This is because every squirrel removal is unique and the job has to be customized to the needs of every client.

Squirrels are known to be diurnal, meaning they are active the entire year. They can build nests in trees and they use the materials and leaves. When it is winter, they choose to nest in the crevices and holes of the tree branches that are decaying. Squirrels give birth two times every year. The litter can have two babies. The babies can be self sustaining at 12 to 14 weeks, and they will leave their homes to look for a new territory.

If the squirrels are in an attic, they may leave when it is summer since the attic will become hot. You may wait up to the time that it gets hot and then you can block these holes. This is a better and more humane solution.
