Pest Detective L.L.C. has had many encounters with Fox Squirrels. They love to nest in soffits and attics. The Fox Squirrel is active throughout the day coming in and out to feed and play. Their barking will often alert you to their presence. They have a black-brown-orange coloring on top and brown underbelly. They eat assorted nuts, berries, and corn. Oftentimes you will see them at bird feeders where they show off their acrobatic skills. Contrary to popular belief squirrels do not hibernate. They actually mate in late December. If they eat well during the winter they will mate again in midsummer. Squirrels average three babies per litter and are born every month except December and January.
