How to Get Rid of Squirrels in The Attic

squirrels in the atticSquirrels aren’t exactly feared rodents. In fact, most people consider them cute, cuddly animals far from the same category as mice and rats! It is true that squirrels are tiny and cute and do not cause any harm, at least physically. Once squirrels find their way into your attic, however, the cuteness disappears as they massively damage your property.  You want them out but aren’t sure how to accomplish the task. We have the answers you want.

 

The Problem With Squirrels in the Attic

Forget the cute and cuddly side of squirrels; they can substantially damage your home, creating thousands of dollars in repair costs. Squirrels can chew holes in siding, damage flooring, chew through electrical wiring and insulation, and cause other significant damage to your property.  Provoked, squirrels can even bite humans. From  March to October, the risk of squirrels coming inside the attic is much greater because this is the time they are most active.

Here’s what you can do to get those pesky squirrels out of the attic.

  • Track Down Their Entry Point: Squirrels need a way inside the home. Finding the entry point is your job. Seal off the entry point to prevent future squirrel access and entry.
  • Cut Off the Snacks: Squirrels just love those tasty snacks humans so often give to them. Maybe you are handing out munchies without realizing it by leaving food sources around. Either way, clean up the house, declutter your attic, and do not freely hand out squirrel-friendly snacks.
  • One-Way Door: A one-way door can resolve squirrel issues. These doors allow squirrels to exit but prevent re-entry, which can greatly reduce infestations.

Despite your best efforts, persistent squirrels may never leave without help from a Florence pest control service. Know when you’ve lost the fight against squirrels and reach out to arrange professional eradication service at once.
