The figures in this section were compiled for Monroeville, Pennsylvania readers from named public sources, each keeping its date and population, and they describe patterns across many households rather than measuring any one Monroeville property. 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. A striking 89.1% of the 1,006 residents of a southeastern U.S. metro area surveyed by Puri and colleagues in 2022 (published 2024) reported squirrels or chipmunks in their neighborhood, the two animals having been combined; this counts sightings, not animals in attics. The national picture, which Monroeville has no reason to escape: 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. What the research adds for Monroeville: A homeowner at war with squirrels is in a small camp: 9.3% of metro-area residents reporting squirrels or chipmunks nearby wanted far fewer, in Puri and colleagues' 2022 survey (1,006 respondents, published 2024), which measured neighborhood attitudes rather than infested homes. A number that shapes expectations in Monroeville as much as anywhere: some 17% of respondents reported taking no action at all against household pests in ConsumerAffairs' February 2024 survey of 2,000 U.S. respondents, a self-reported poll that covered pests and mold together and describes broad consumer behavior rather than a rate for any single pest.
