Squirrel pressure in St. George varies street by street, so a climate label only tells part of the story; the survey and cost-guide findings below give the wider picture St. George households can use when deciding whether to handle a problem themselves or call a professional. In Puri and colleagues' 2022 survey of 1,006 residents of one southeastern U.S. metro area, published in 2024, squirrels and chipmunks (asked about together) were the most widely reported animals, present nearby for 89.1% of respondents; presence means sightings, not infestation. For a homeowner, it helps to know that a few neighbors actively want more squirrels: 8.4% of metro-area residents reporting squirrels or chipmunks nearby said so in Puri and colleagues' 2022 survey (published 2024), which measured neighborhood attitudes, not infestations. Context for St. George, not a local measurement: just 9.3% of residents who reported squirrels or chipmunks nearby wanted a large decrease in their numbers, according to Puri and colleagues' 2022 survey of 1,006 people in a southeastern U.S. metro area (published 2024), a neighborhood-attitude figure, not an infestation rate. Another data point for St. George readers: Fixr's January 2025 U.S. squirrel-removal cost guide estimates attic removal at $300 to $600, matching its garage figure; both are publisher estimates rather than verified transaction prices or current local quotes. The national picture, which St. George has no reason to escape: for most homeowners, pests are a when-not-if problem: 76% of respondents to HomeTeam Pest Defense's 2022 online survey of U.S. homeowners said they had faced one in the past year, though the figure is self-reported and the survey was sponsored by a pest-control company. Treat the figures as a baseline for St. George, Utah: they show how common squirrel concerns are and what other households did about them, not what your treatment will cost, so written quotes from two or three St. George providers remain the best local data you can get.
