2. Do you feel there are squirrels lurking around your home?

3. Squirrel Removal • Squirrels enter homes in search of breeding areas for their young. They gain access to areas of your home, especially your attic, through small openings that they enlarge by chewing. At first, it’s normal not to hear any noises. But once the squirrels start to feel comfortable, you may start to feel and hear little movements around your home. It’s time for humane squirrel removal. • Squirrels may be fun to watch but when left to stay in your home for long, they can cause serious damages. • As rodents, squirrels have the propensity to chew on wood and even electrical wires. This can cause leaks and bring about potential fire hazards. • Should squirrels take refuge in your attic, chances are they’ll be leaving their urine and waste behind. The bad smell can only attract more squirrels to your home and also pose health risks.

4. Here are tips on how you can protect your home and family from squirrels.

5. Observe Squirrel Activity in your Property • If you’ve already seen a squirrel in your home, you’ll want to pay extra attention to their habits. Find out when they’re most likely out, looking for food. • Note, though, that these little rodents can be highly-sensitive to their environment. They can notice slight changes in their environment making the hunt more challenging.

6. Block Entry Points • All areas of your home should be checked for openings that squirrels, as well as other pests, can use. But you’ll want to be careful as this can leave squirrels trapped inside your home. • Take advantage of daylight to spot openings or cracks. If you’re already sure when the squirrels move in and out of your home, then you can go ahead and seal their main entry point.

7. Rethink your Yard • Squirrels can use plants to leap on as they come and go inside your home. Consider moving these plants that little rodents can jump on and into your property. Also, use netting if you have tomatoes or other colored fruits you want to protect from nibbling creatures. • Consider sprinkling pepper flakes as well at the base of your plants to drive the rodents away. Keeping your yard clean is also a huge help. Make sure that your trash is stored in an airtight container to keep squirrels away.

8. Get your Furry Family Member to Help • Dogs may be able to scare little rodents away. Let them play in your yard when possible for squirrels to see. • Educate as well your family members to never pet or feed squirrels should they see one. Squirrels can mistake this for an invitation and welcome themselves back in your place anytime.

9. Don’t use Poison when handling Squirrels • Even though squirrels can be a nuisance, you don’t want to eliminate them using substances that can also be harmful to humans. There are humane ways to eliminate and remove dead squirrels in your home. • Pest control companies use methods that are safe to humans and the environment. Aside from getting rid of the squirrels, they can also offer other services such as house disinfection, damage repair, and attic insulation.

10. Squirrels • Squirrels love staying in the attic as it keeps them away from predators. Attics also don’t receive as much foot traffic as compared to other areas in your home. Gardens are also attractive for squirrels as they can search for food here. • But if you’ll think about it, pests can breed anywhere and die in the worst places in your property. You don’t have to wait for that to happen. Pest control professionals can help you resolve your squirrel worries all while safeguarding your loved ones and home.
