Squirrels

 

Squirrels in the Memphis area are not at all uncommon and are known to get inside homes. The most common type of squirrel in Memphis is the eastern gray squirrel. Squirrels can repopulate in Memphis quickly and can rapidly become a squirrel infestation if left unaddressed. These fuzzy-tailed critters can do more damage than you'd expect. Squirrel control and squirrel removal services in Memphis become necessary when you discover squirrels in your attic or in your walls. Though protected by law in some states, squirrels are considered to be a pest and can be trapped, removed, and relocated—but we don't recommend Memphis area homeowners attempt DIY squirrel removal.
