There is no Merrimack-specific squirrel infestation rate published by any agency, and this page does not invent one; what exists for Merrimack readers is national and regional survey data plus published pricing benchmarks, summarized below with their limits stated plainly. In the 2022 wildlife-perceptions survey by Puri and colleagues (1,006 residents of a southeastern U.S. metro area, published in People and Nature in 2024), 15.2% of respondents with squirrels or chipmunks nearby preferred a small decrease, an attitude measure and not an infestation finding. 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. Another data point for Merrimack readers: 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. Merrimack households fit the wider pattern here: Fixr's January 2025 U.S. squirrel-removal cost guide estimates ceiling removal at $750 to $1,500, more than double its attic range, because reaching the animals often means opening the ceiling; the figures are publisher estimates rather than verified prices. What the research adds for Merrimack: A pest problem can push a family out of the house, at least for a while: 12% of respondents in ConsumerAffairs' February 2024 survey of 2,000 U.S. respondents reported a temporary relocation, a self-reported figure from a mixed pest-and-mold survey, not an infestation rate. Because every figure above has a stated population and date, you can cite it when comparing Merrimack providers; what none of them can tell you is what your specific Merrimack property needs, and that still takes an on-site inspection.
