Humane Squirrel Removal
Our Four Step Process
Inspection
We perform a comprehensive wildlife inspection to determine possible entry points and confirm target species activity to form a removal strategy.
Trapping
We perform humane live trapping by installing traps near or over the primary entry points and keep trapping until the target animal is captured or activity concludes
Seal-Up
After trapping and when we are sure all animals have been safely removed, we will seal up all active entry points with strong material. This will allow time to have permanent repairs done
Exclusion
We also offer an array of wildlife exclusion devices designed to keep the critters out. We will put together a comprehensive and customized solution to keep your home protected.
Squirrels
Squirrels, with their agility and resourcefulness, are fascinating creatures. However, when these nimble critters invade your home or property, they can quickly become a significant concern. In such situations, professional assistance is essential to ensure their humane and efficient removal. When faced with a squirrel infestation, Shore Pest Solutions provides expert guidance and a range of services to effectively address the issue.
Understanding Squirrel Behavior
Before initiating the removal process, it’s vital to understand squirrel behavior. These small mammals are adept climbers and often seek shelter in attics, chimneys, and crawl spaces. They have a varied diet and are attracted to urban and suburban areas in search of food and nesting sites.
The Risks of Squirrel Infestations
Squirrel infestations can lead to several problems:
Property Damage: Squirrels can cause significant damage to your home by chewing on wires, gnawing on woodwork, and tearing insulation for nesting materials.
Health Risks: Squirrels can carry diseases such as leptospirosis and transmit parasites like fleas and ticks, posing health risks to humans and pets.
Noise and Disturbance: Squirrels are active during the day, and their activities can disrupt your daily routines and peace of mind.
The Removal Process
Inspection: Our team conducts a thorough inspection of your property to identify entry points and assess the extent of the squirrel infestation.
Humane Trapping and Removal: We utilize traps specifically designed for squirrels, strategically placed to capture these agile animals. Our removal process prioritizes the humane and safe removal of squirrels from your property.
Seal Up Entry Points: Once the squirrels are removed, we seal up any active entry points used during trapping. This service ensures that the affected areas are no longer accessible by wildlife, preventing future intrusions.
Preventative Measures
In addition to removal, Shore Pest Solutions offers preventative measures to deter squirrels from returning:
- Sealing all potential entry points to prevent re-entry.
- Installing devices designed to keep wildlife out, such as chimney caps and wire mesh.
- Providing recommendations to make your property less attractive to squirrels, such as removing food sources and trimming tree branches near the home.
We offer a range of exclusion devices and can customize a comprehensive exclusion plan tailored to your specific needs, helping to safeguard your property from future squirrel infestations.
