Baby Squirrels Removed
Squirrel removal at this time needs to take into account the possibility that babies (in different stages of development) are present.
Gray squirrel babies may be present, but since they develop slowly, they don’t leave the nest. Born hairless and with their eyes closed, a lot of homeowners aren’t alerted to their presence by noises for 6 to 10 weeks.
Therefore, presence of babies should not be overlooked as they may or may not be noticeable right now.
Often times, the mother squirrel entering and exiting the den is the only sign of a litter of squirrels present.
When we remove squirrels like the one in the picture, the squirrel is examined to learn more.
Is this a male or female squirrel? If it’s a female, is she lactating?
Obviously, a lactating female squirrel indicates the presence of a litter. A plan for locating the babies and removing them needs made.
Squirrel Removal Plan
A complete plan for squirrel removal includes:
- Locating entrances and exits
- Removing all the squirrels using this spot as a home (including babies)
- Making repairs to restore the home and prevent new squirrels
In this video, the hole the mother squirrel was using is very obvious, as she chewed right through the front of the home.
The baby squirrels are tucked down into a nest that is in the space between the interior wall and this piece of plywood which is stuccoed. Ryan was able to probe around and grab them.
Now, with the mother squirrel and babies captured, all that needs done is a quality repair.
