About Squirrel Removal Service Providers

By Dave L. Weglin


Pest control firms called on to provide a squirrel removal service have to do much more besides trapping and taking away the critters. It's even more important to make the property critter-proof. The information provided below describes the kind of dangers squirrels pose for a home and its occupants, how to detect an infestation, and what the provider can do to solve the problem.

They do look cute with their bushy tails and perky appearances in Disney cartoons, but it's prudent to remember they are still rodents. They can cause just as much havoc inside a home as rats do, and pose additional and significant dangers. Ordinary gray squirrels will try to enter a home when they are looking for a nice and warm place to nest and breed, which is usually twice a year.

They typically end up nesting in attics because they are good climbers and it provides them easy access to the roof and trees outside. If squirrels are inside, occupants will wake up to hear early-morning bedlam up in the attic. Squirrels maintain a similar schedule like humans, heading out in the morning to forage for food and returning back when it's evening.

If they're running around outside the property and on the roof in the morning and evening, it's a good bet they have found a way to enter inside or made a hole. Apart from the noise they make, there is also a danger of electrical wires getting chewed and stripped of insulation. Squirrels will also chew wooden support beams and make entry holes that cause structural problems.

They leave droppings and urine all over the place. It becomes unsanitary with a foul odor over time. If left unchecked, squirrels can multiply very fast.

Entire litters take up residence in the same area as they grow up. Each one will make new holes in other parts of the home for a separate nest. Once a hole is made, it can be used by other squirrels even if the one that originally gnawed through is trapped and booted off the premises.

The only way to be rid of the critters once and for all is to trap every single one inside the home and then seal each hole properly. Call a squirrel removal service to get this job done in a professional manner. They will set traps, grab all the squirrels that are inside and humanely dispose of the lot. The property is monitored until they're satisfied there are no more squirrels inside, and then the holes are plugged permanently so that the home is completely critter-proofed.
