Animal-removal companies in the GTA say COVID-19 stay-at-home orders are the reason they are getting swamped with calls to deal with troublesome squirrels

“Pre-COVID, [they] might hear something in the walls or ceiling, and then they think it’s nothing. And then it might take them another week or two before [they] hear that again,” Mr. Dowd said. “People kind of try and talk themselves out of it, but now if they’re working from home every day, and they keep hearing the noise day in and day out, they’re like, ‘Okay, we got to do something about this.

“When people have been experiencing the noise of one squirrel, they can have as many as seven or eight in there now. They were in there all along, but they now hear seven or eight moving about in the attic.”“I would say every second job I do is for red squirrels this year, when I might deal with 12 calls in an entire season.”He credits the drop in traffic as a key factor in the bushy-tailed population explosion: “If the cars aren’t moving about in the city, they’re not running over squirrels.

“Even though we’ve gone to these green bins, there are people that feed them, there are bird feeders, there are people that just don’t put their food waste in the proper bins or don’t lock the bins. Those bins are stored outside, so any time you have those two components in abundance, you’re going to see a population boom.”
