With the cold weather settling in, the last thing you want is squirrels taking up residence in your attic. As your NJ squirrel control specialists, we’d like to offer you a few tips on how to keep those pesky critters out of your home.
Tip #1: Repair any holes – If your home or garage has holes in the walls or in the roof, they’re inviting unwanted squirrels inside. Make sure you do a thorough inspection, and you might even consider hiring a roofer to inspect your roof for you. If you find holes, seal them up right away.
Tip #2: Keep tree branches trimmed – Squirrels can jump pretty far, and if you have trees next to your house, it’s important to trim the branches regularly. Experts indicate that a distance of at least six feet is usually sufficient. For larger trees, it’s a good idea to hire a tree service to trim the branches for you.
Tip #3: Avoid using bird feeders – Many homeowners don’t realize that squirrels enjoy the bird seed they put in their bird feeders. It’s smart to rid your yard of them to deter squirrels, or you could pick an alternative kind of bird seed that squirrels really don’t like.
By making these changes, you just might make it through the winter squirrel-free. If you do need NJ squirrel control services, the experts at Allison Pest Control are available. Contact us!
