Rock squirrels take readily to the rocky, terraced ground around Cottonwood and the slopes climbing toward Jerome.
Call (844) 924-1337The rock squirrel is the species most likely to turn up around Cottonwood homes, since it adapts well to retaining walls, tree roots, and rocky terrain, exactly the kind of ground that climbs from the valley floor up toward Jerome's steep slopes on Cleopatra Hill. It will burrow directly against a foundation or patio and is known to carry fleas capable of transmitting disease, adding a health consideration on top of the property damage.
Round-tailed ground squirrels behave differently, sticking to flatter open desert and digging burrows several feet down, which makes them more of an issue on undeveloped lots outside town than in Old Town or established neighborhoods. Getting the species right changes the whole approach. Call (844) 924-1337 to discuss pest control help in Cottonwood and check service availability.

Live trapping combined with sealing the entry point is the general approach, since squirrels can chew their way back in if the access isn't properly closed. An assessment should locate the entry point and nesting area before removal and exclusion work are considered.
Ground squirrels are typically addressed differently from attic squirrels, with a focus on burrow areas in the yard rather than the structure of the home. The extent and location of the burrowing help determine which control options are appropriate.
Pricing depends on your location, the removal work involved, and whether entry-point repairs are needed. Call PestGuardians to discuss the work needed in Cottonwood and request pricing for your situation.
If the nest is inside a wall or attic, removal is usually handled alongside trapping the squirrel itself, since a nest can mean young are present. A professional assessment can help establish the extent of the activity and the appropriate next steps.
