There are four species of squirrels in Missouri. The southern flying squirrel uses a thin flap of skin between its arms and legs to glide from tree to tree. The thirteen-lined ground squirrel can be identified by, you guessed it, the thirteen lines down its back. Being a ground squirrel, it limits the amount of time, if any, spent in trees. Finally, the eastern gray squirrel and eastern fox squirrel are also present in the area. These species tend to spend most of their lives in trees. Squirrels can cause damage in many different ways. They can damage insulation, chew through your wiring, dig up your gardens, and gnaw your furniture. It is not uncommon to discover a squirrel in your SW Missouri attic because like most other animals, they prefer secluded, dark areas for nesting. If you're facing a squirrel problem, call Critter Control of SW Missouri today to begin your squirrel removal plan! You can also fill out our contact form.

Typical Squirrel Problems
You might be surprised when you learn how harmful these cute rodents can be to your Springfield property. If you don’t have any squirrel removal and squirrel-proofing tactics in place, squirrels have the ability to:
- Chew furniture, vinyl siding, aluminum, and sheet metal. They can also chew through roofs, walls, etc. The teeth of a squirrel are constantly growing, so they need to make sure they don’t get too long. They do this by chewing through things!
- Squirrels can rip through and soil insulation
- Transmit dangerous viruses, diseases, ticks, and other bugs
- Squirrels can stain rooms with their urine and excrement
- Squirrels can create additional entry points surrounding the home
