I see where you're coming from but I don't really think this is the case, not in my experience at least (in central and north FL). Squirrels seem to leave the wooded areas for the neighborhoods/etc where they get free food from bird feeders and have no natural predators (except cats and cars). Then they breed like crazy and their population just gets out of control.
Theres a National Forest nearby that I go to once in awhile to fish at the spring fed ponds/lakes, and there aren't nearly as many squirrels out there in the forest as there are in some of the neighborhoods around here.
