There is no Greenwood-specific squirrel infestation rate published by any agency, and this page does not invent one; what exists for Greenwood readers is national and regional survey data plus published pricing benchmarks, summarized below with their limits stated plainly. Three hundred to $600 is Fixr's January 2025 U.S. publisher estimate for removing squirrels from an attic, the most common place homeowners find them; it is not an observed customer bill, and local quotes vary. One hundred to $250 is Fixr's January 2025 U.S. publisher estimate for a professional squirrel inspection, which some companies credit toward removal; it is not an observed customer bill, and local quotes vary. One figure Greenwood homeowners tend to underestimate: in Puri and colleagues' 2022 survey of 1,006 residents of one southeastern U.S. metro area, published in 2024, 8.4% of respondents with squirrels or chipmunks nearby (the survey combined them) preferred a small increase, a preference figure rather than a household infestation rate. Greenwood is not an outlier on this point: Puri and colleagues, who surveyed 1,006 residents of one southeastern U.S. metro area in 2022 (published 2024), found squirrels and chipmunks (combined in the survey) the most accepted animals: 63.5% of people with them nearby wanted no change, an opinion measure, not an infestation rate. Context for Greenwood, not a local measurement: about 7% of respondents reported permanently leaving a home because of pests in ConsumerAffairs' February 2024 survey of 2,000 U.S. respondents, a self-reported survey that combined pest and mold questions and offers broad consumer context rather than an infestation rate for any single pest.
