Gray Squirrels!!
Juvenile Gray Squirrels have been driving us crazy in the last month. These curious little creatures have just recently learned how to move around and leave the nest. Just like a mischievous 4-year-old human these little squirrels are constantly getting themselves into trouble. Since the last update we have been dealing with lots of squirrel infestations in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. These jobs have been tedious because instead of removing two or three squirrels like we normally do, we are removing one adult female and anywhere from three to six juveniles on every job. This makes for a lot of trapping. Dealing with all these squirrels in the last month gave me the opportunity to get some great squirrel photos from the field.

Bats
The calls for bats have picked up slightly. As the weather warms the bats will become more active and bats will start to appear in the living space of houses. The image to the left is of a bat we removed from an old farm house.
Raccoons
The raccoon calls have definitely leveled off since the last update. Here is a chimney cap that we installed to prevent squirrels and raccoons from entering a house's chimney.
Birds
I know that spring has arrived when I start getting three calls a day for birds in dryer and bathroom vents. Here are two pictures from one such job.
Skunks
The skunks must be really keeping a low profile because we haven't got many calls for them at all.
