You may not realize that you need squirrel removal and animal control.
Those noises in the wall are not mice but squirrels! Unlike mice it is quite unlikely to have an entire squirrel family get into the home but one or two may find a nice place to live or store food in your attic or walls.
They can cause a lot of damage and tend to be very noisy.
Most people only have problems with squirrels taking over their yard.
A quick and easy way to deal with this is using squirrel repellent.
Squirrel repellent will make the squirrels think that a predator has taken up residence in your yard.
This makes the yard a very dangerous place to be and they will avoid it at all costs.
This is the perfect way to keep squirrels out of the bird feeder.
If you think there are squirrels in your home then live trapping is a great way to remove them.
Squirrels will get almost everywhere and can even chew through your electrical wiring.
Besides trapping it will be necessary to squirrel proof the house and this is where a professional can help.
Most owners can easily trap squirrels but do not know how to prevent them from returning.
A professional will be able to go through your home and point out the places where squirrels are getting in and detail what needs to be done to stop them.
Normally an animal proof chimney cover is needed and fixing rotten wood is an issue.
If there are rotted areas then sheet metal is recommended over more wood.
A professional at animal control will notice problem areas that most homeowners will miss.
You can help keep squirrels away by cleaning up the yard and ensuring all edible material is properly stored.
This includes garbage containers rather than bags and keeping the compost away from the house.
