Squirrels are everywhere. It does not matter if you live in a rural area, the suburbs or a bustling city; they will find a way to thrive in the area that you live in. Sometimes, that means that they will live in your home.
Squirrels will get into the walls, the attic, cabinets and every other area of your home, and they are rarely discreet. They make noises, try to eat your food and generally make your home less hospitable for you.
Fortunately, this is not a problem that you have to live with. Here is how to get a squirrel problem under control:
Do NOT try to poison the squirrels yourself
Although you may desperately want to get rid of the squirrel problem, killing them yourself will leave you with another problem: A reeking home. Also, poison should not be used in homes with children or pets in the first place.
Let the squirrels out
Sometimes a squirrel is in your home because it got stuck. Create a way for it to get out and then…
…Seal any openings
Like all rodents, squirrels can squeeze their bodies through impossibly small spaces. Don’t give them an opportunity to do this.
Call a squirrel control professional
When a squirrel finds a place it likes, it is extremely difficult to convince it to stay elsewhere. Due to this fact, even after you have done all of the above things, it could still find a way to get back into your home. That is why the best way to permanently get rid of a squirrel problem is to contact a squirrel control professional like Allison Pest Control.
