Squirrels are a nuisance for many Baltimore gardeners. They dig up bulbs, steal tomatoes, get into birdfeeders and bury nuts for winter storage in potted plants. In our state we have squirrels that are both common and endangered. In Maryland, the four most common types of squirrels are the flying, fox, red and gray squirrels. Squirrels can cause a number of problems, they often take up residence in attics or garage ceilings. Like all members of the rodent family, squirrels are chewers, they will chew their way into your home or building. People often hear the squirrels running around in the attic or ceiling. They bring in nesting debris, and can create a fire hazard, not only due to the debris, but also by chewing electrical wires. Squirrels will also chew on the woodwork of a home. Squirrels have two litters per year, and reproduce quickly. At times the squirrel population can grow to high numbers. Squirrel pest control can be a difficult situation for any homeowner.
