Nuisance Squirrel Facts
North America there are only about ten, but around the world, the species of the squirrels equal up to about three hundred different ones!
An adult gray squirrel is about eighteen inches long and can weight about a pound.
Generally all squirrels live in trees, basically in the holes of trunks or even in the treetop in abandon crow’s nests. Due to the convenience of shelter from humans, attics and chimneys have become a familiar space to live. Squirrels will usually start looking for a nest when they start to mate, which is when they are about a year old. It usually takes about six weeks from the time that the squirrels mate until there are baby squirrels running around. Baby squirrels are called kittens and kittens are born only twice a year. Once in the spring time and once at the end of the summer, it is not unusual for the female squirrel to have about two to five offspring.
When it comes to a squirrel’s diet, the facts are they will eat acorns, wheat, fruit, bird’s eggs, mushrooms, berries, oak buds, corn, insects, moths, nesting birds and especially nuts of any kinds. Squirrels will typically gather and save a lot of their food all year round. The squirrel will wake up out of hibernation and go look for the food they buried!
Squirrels can generally live anywhere from ten to twelve years but after about six years, they are considered old squirrels.
