General Information about Squirrels
The Most Common Grey Squirrels
If there's any squirrel most common to be seen infesting inside the households of US Citizens, it's definitely going to be the famous and at the same time infamous grey squirrels. They almost inhabit two thirds of the United States areas. Usually, the grey squirrels would come in variety of colors, from grey, pure black and pure white with stripes or color shades in them. These stripes are usually found at the back. Grey squirrels are quite small and very light making them quite agile in terms of escaping the beholding homeowners and thus making them a bit more difficult to catch. They don't hibernate, therefore that would mean they are quite active the entire time.
Every type of squirrel will have a specific approach in order to deal with them. It is important that you know what type of squirrel you commonly found in your home infesting so that you will know what sort of squirrel control method or approach you would use eventually.
How Squirrels Communicate
Squirrels are definitely not the silent type of creatures. They are extremely vocal and loud. They communicate through screeches, barking, chattering, screaming and even purring. However, they do produce a different kind of purr than the usual purr you hear from cats. Surprisingly these purrs are loud and therefore audible. When they flash their tails or stomp their feet, those would also mean that they are communicating.
The communication process would entail a sense of indication of them being around. Knowing what they are communicating all about would definitely help you track them as to where they are and where they will be.
Squirrel Common Diet
Squirrels don't eat human flesh. Contrary to some childish beliefs that they are carnivorous, actually they are not. They are absolutely vegetarians (well, except insects) and they would like to feed on vegetation like nuts, seeds, and fruits. However, they do bite when they feel threatened and you would have to really worry about it if ever you will get bitten. It is because that they have the possibility to communicate diseases as well which may prove to be fatal if not treated properly.
