Squirrel Damage and Damage Identification

Sometimes, forest trees may be damaged by squirrels chewing bark off branches and trunks. Pine squirrels can damage Ponderosa pine, Jack pine and paper Birch. Fox squirrels can also damage loblolly pines and other pines in the Southeast. If homeowners don’t know how squirrels can be removed from their homes, they might become frustrated.

Squirrels can sometimes be found in residential areas and travel along power lines, shorting out transformers. They chew on wires and enter buildings to build nests in attics. They chew through pipes used for maple syrup production.

Sometimes, squirrels can damage lawns by digging up or searching for nuts. Squirrels will chew bark or clip twigs from ornamental trees and shrubbery in yards. Squirrels will often eat food intended for birds. They may chew to expand the openings of birdhouses and then enter to feed nestling songbirds. Even though they are small enough for most bird houses, flying squirrels will often eat nesting birds. These are all reasons to contact someone who knows how to eliminate squirrels.

Squirrel Habitat Info:

As a traditional squirrel, oak trees are a place where he can bear young and find shelter from the elements, food, and escape predators. A squirrel will however take full advantage of the shelter offered by humans in crawl spaces and attics. We can help if you become a victim to a squirrel living in your attic.

Over a large part of their range, squirrels live in the same types of forests as other species, whether they are hardwood or coniferous. Gray squirrels are more common in areas with high forest cover. Gray squirrel and fox populations might be equal in areas with less than 10% forest cover. Fox squirrels prefer oak and hickory habitats over most of their range, particularly in the West. Pine timber seems to be the preferred habitat for fox squirrels in Florida and Georgia. The western gray squirrel likes conifers, mixed hardwoods, and dry open hardwoods. The Ponderosa pine is strongly associated with the tassel-eared squirrel. Pine squirrels are primarily found in coniferous forests, but they can also be found in mixed hardwood and coniferous forests.

Squirrel Food Habits:

Gray squirrels and fox have similar food habits. They can eat many native foods and are quick to adapt to new food sources. They eat mostly wild tree fruits and nuts in the fall and winter. Fall favorites include acorns, hickory nuts, walnuts and osage orange fruit. Many nuts can be saved for later use. They prefer tree buds in late winter and early spring. They eat fruits, berries and succulent plant materials in summer. When available, they eat fungi, corn, as well as cultivated fruits. These squirrels will chew bark from many trees during peak population, or when food is scarce. They also enjoy eating insects and other animal matter.

Pine squirrels are dependent on coniferous forests to get cones and buds. However, they will also eat other foods that are similar to the diet of gray and fox squirrels. For food, Douglas squirrels rely heavily on Ponderosa Pine. Flying squirrels eat similar food habits to other squirrels. They are however the most carnivorous tree squirrels. When they are available, they eat nestlings and bird eggs, as well as insects and other animal matter. Bluebird houses are a common place for flying squirrels.
