Most people do not freak out over squirrels the way they do over mice and rats, but they should because these are rodents. Squirrels in and around your home can pose the similar problems as other rodents. Just like their cousins, they will chew on piping plus wires (potentially reasoning floods as well as fire), eat your siding, roof, and foundation, and they are known to carry ticks and fleas, plus diseases. They leave behind piles of foul-smelling ruin, destroy keepsakes, and tear up yards. Squirrel manage is a service offered by any animal control company for a fee. If you think you can handle it, there is an amount of do-it-yourself squirrel organize techniques available as well.

Things to think about when commerce with squirrels in your house:



Squirrels will enter your home through any gaps in the building’s exterior. Holes ended by birds and extra animals will suffice as an entryway, but they are not above making their own holes. A squirrel can fit through a hole not much larger than a quarter. Squirrels love to nest in the hollows of trees, but attics, chimneys, plus the indoor of walls are perfect for nesting especially during mating season or extreme weather Squirrels have scent glands in their feet and they use them to leave a trail of pheromones to call other squirrels . Signs that you have a squirrel problem can be the same as that of any other rodent including infestation - scratching, skittering, and thumps. You might find holes chewed in your home's exterior, stained, and torn up insulation or notice rice shaped droppings much larger than that of a rat or mouse. Another clue is finding caches of seeds, nuts, or acorns in your home.

Solving your squirrel problem is two-fold. It involves not only force to leave the interlopers, but also making sure they do not come back. The most efficient way to get rid of squirrels is with installing 1-way exclusion funnels. You must seal all entry points but one (for the funnel). Once all the animals are out, seal that hole, and inspect your roofline and attic interior for any breeches. Please make sure you left no young behind!

• A professional will normally charge anywhere from $100 to 200$ for the initial inspection (this will usually go against the cost if you accept the bid). Depending on the number of animals, the actual service will probably run between 500-1000 dollars for removal and cleanup. The real cost is based on the number and age of squirrels, severity of cleanup required, as well as the number of overhaul trips necessary.

• You can buy your own live trap for around 30.00 if you have a large population, you might attack a cage to an exclusion funnel in order to catch more than one at a time. Do not forget –you will be responsible for your own cleanup!
