Squirrels might look cute, but these rodents have a tendency to be dangerous (to your health) and slightly destructive (to your property) as well. This guide can help you keep them at bay.
Before you call for a squirrel removal, it will be important for you to know the types of squirrels that can possibly invade your property. Essentially, there are two species; the grey squirrels, and the flying squirrels.
The grey squirrels pretty much follow the same pat at every point. Most squirrel removal contractors set traps along points of entry and identified paths when dealing with them, so make sure that you note the areas where they have the most activity in order to help the contractors place their traps well.
For better reference, the most frequented areas are usually along the base of the house, around the roof, or around the tree that helps them enter the house in the first place. You can also pay attention to areas of your house that are scattered, as well as excess droppings.

As for the flying squirrels, things are a tad complicated for squirrel removal. These animals prefer to glide around the attic, or close to the ceiling of your garage. So, squirrel removal contractors usually place traps by searching for areas that have a lot of droppings (or places where there are nests or tunnels). Since it is more difficult than it seems, squirrel removal contractors will get the job done on your behalf.

So, when you establish that you have a squirrel problem, the first recommendation will be to cover all preventive methods, while waiting for the pest control contractor to get to your house. Also, make sure that you don’t stay in the infested area, as rodent infestations usually come with some health hazards as well. Lock all areas where you know that there has been an infestation, then call a squirrel removal contractor to help you get them out to prevent further damage.

In the event that you want to prevent them in the first place, make sure that you have the following covered:

1. Take out any food source that might attract rodents. Squirrels love bird feed, so never have that around the house. Also, ensure that you wrap any food in your home, and try not to leave any attractive stuff outside the house as well


2. Install gutter guards and conceal all down sprouts that can provide easy transportation for squirrels into your home. Tracking squirrels can be a tad difficult, but when you have these guards installed, preventing their entry into your home is even easier.


3. Any tree branches that hang over the roof should be trimmed. Squirrels have several ways of potentially entering your home, but you can cut their access significantly by taking out any low-hanging branches. They are damning gateways to your home.


4. Any logs or wood stacked against or close to the building should be taken out


5. You should also fix cracks in your foundation wall that squirrels can easily chew through
