Squirrels are most active in morning and evening, and eat mostly nuts and seeds. They live in a variety of habitats, both forest and suburban areas. Squirrels love to live in attics, they also love to chew, and will chew on houses; or wires, ducts, and pipes once inside an attic. If squirrels chew on electrical wires in an attic, it can create a real potential fire hazard. Squirrels also bring in nesting material and leave urine and feces in the attic. They carry no real important diseases, though they do carry parasites, and thus are vectors for the diseases that flea, ticks, etc can transmit. They also leave a lot of droppings, which pose the usual excrement health risks, such as leptospirosis or Salmonella.

The primary concern seems to be fear of snakes (Ophidiophobia) which many people have, it's a common phobia, and we've seen it many times. It's irrational, but very real for some people. Even for those without a flat-out phobia, snakes are often unsettling. Often it's just a matter of ignorance - people don't know which snakes are venomous and which are not, so they are naturally cautious around all snakes. Snakes inhabit many ecological niches, and often around human buildings. They'll get into pools, screened porches, and oftentimes, the home itself. Snakes don't need much space to enter a home. One myth about snakes is that if a snake has a triangular head, it is poisonous (venomous). This is not true - most snakes have triangular heads. As reptiles, their body temperature is regulated by surrounding temperatures. Sometimes they'll sunbathe to raise temperature. Many snakes usually prefer to hide under heavy cover in cool areas. The important thing to know is that most snakes are non-venomous, and pretty much none of them are aggressive. Most will run, and some will stand their ground, but if you leave the snake alone, it'll leave you alone. Snakes live in a wide variety of habitats. Some are great climbers, some are aquatic. Most are very patient when it comes to catching prey - they sit still and silent for a very long time, then when a prey item is in reach, they strike! Some kill by venom, some by constriction. Some just grab bugs and eat them.

 The primary problem with dead animals, of course, is the odor as it starts to decay. The odor may be slight at first, but after about three days after the death of the animal, the odor can be quite strong. The strength of the odor depends on many factors:size of animal, animal species, and location of
carcass, state of decomposition, temperature, humidity, and airflow.Oftentimes when a dead animal is removed, it's covered with parasites such as fleas, mites, or ticks and these organisms can carry and transmit disease. We at Ambassador will come out to your home or business to safely and carefully remove and dispose of these carcasses. So call us today!
