Squirrels can be a real nuisance, especially when they decide to make your attic or backyard their new home. Not only can they cause significant damage to your property, but they can also be a health hazard. Here are a few tips to help you get rid of these pesky critters:
Prevention is Key:
- Seal Entry Points: Inspect your roof and siding for any potential entry points, such as holes or gaps. Seal them up with steel wool or caulk.
- Trim Tree Branches: Keep tree branches away from your roof to discourage squirrels from jumping onto your home.
- Remove Food Sources: Secure bird feeders and garbage cans to prevent attracting squirrels.
If You’ve Got an Infestation:
- Exclusion: Once you’ve identified the entry points, seal them up while ensuring the squirrels are out.
- Trapping and Relocation: Use humane traps to capture squirrels and release them far away from your home.
- Professional Help: If you’re unable to handle the infestation yourself or if the problem is severe, it’s best to contact a professional wildlife removal company.
