Grey Squirrel Birthing Patterns

Don't worry about the young. We call them "tree rats" here in Tennessee for a reason--they breed like rats! Fix a heavy gauge hardware cloth where they knawed through. Rotted wood is not good at all, at any time in or on the home, remove it ASAP.

I trap squirrels to help reduce the population, but I need to trap several times a year to keep it under control. Good luck!

Interesting question. You can probably find more than this:

Son had problem last year that resulted in dead squirrel in wall and cost him several hundred dollars for removal and repairs.

It depends on area, in midwest chicago area babies came out in may, but im sure another batch may be comming.

Caution, rags soaked with ammonia may not work, they will just smell like urine. Most wild animals have no problems with "natural smells" like urine, etc. I have found that most animals cannot stand chemical smells. So try something un-natural in the smell you want to use.

By late July the first litter has probably already left the nest -- but you need never concern yourself about the newborn's welfare when removing nesting squirrels. So long as the adults have an easy route out (if you place a long pole between the entry point and the ground) the adults will carry the young out as soon as they decide to vacate. Five to 10 minutes banging on the fascia (with another long pole) usually suffices.

If your gray squirrel went North far enough he would be "grey". But not in Mass. ; )
