Houston The Woodlands Spring Squirrel Removal

The squirrel’s most damaging habit is gnawing entrances into attics. Once inside, they often use insulation or other materials found in the attic for nest building. Squirrels are known tochew electrical wiring and cause short circuits and sometimes fires infact, nearly 30% of all home fires nationwide are beleived to be caused by rats, mice and squirrels and other rodents. Less frequently, squirrels mistakenly can end up in the living area of a house and really cause problems for your hosehold. Squirrels find their way in through an open damper in a chimney or travel through the walls to the basement. Squirrels can also become trapped in chimneys. Nesting in houses is usually the only problem that flying squirrels cause.

Urban squirrel populations often build up to high numbers in older residential areas which have lots of mature trees, particularly oaks and other harddwood trees. Because the  reproductive rate  in squirrels is so high, live trapping is not usually effective and in some cases other squirrel control methods may be necessary. A homeowner’s best bet is to protect his house by screening openings and removing access to food sources, such as bird feeders. The biggets reason for any squirrel problem is because of a squirrel feeder nearby either on your own property or nearby on a neighbors property.

Attic louvers, attic vents, and attic  fan openings should be screened with at least one-quarter inch mesh hardware cloth. Standard window screening is not sturdy enough to prevent their entering and should never be used becasue it simply can be chewed up in secoinds. Eaves should be closed up tightly and rotten boards replaced. Chimneys  and any entrance that they allow should be capped with a stainless steel chimney cap if possible..

Hiring a squirrel removal professional to inspect your home, and begin excluding these lovely creatures many times can be done by the installation of one way doors allowing them to leave and no longer re-enter.In addition to installing one way squirrel excluders we will close off all access points and identify how to keep your home wildlife free.
