Have you ever heard scratching in the walls of your home and wondered what it could be? Squirrels are a common culprit, as they make their way into warm, dry places to build nests and have babies. Thankfully, there are a few simple squirrel removal tricks you can try at home before you call in the professionals at A.S.A.P. Critter People in Cincinnati, OH.

3 DIY Squirrel Removal Tricks

1. Try a Trap

Squirrels often have only one way to get into and out of your home. Pay attention to their activity. Then, set up a squirrel trap at the entrance they use. Within a few hours, you’ll likely find the rodents have made it into your trap so you can remove them from the premises. Don’t forget to close up their entrance to prevent their return.

2. Prevent Habitation

To mitigate the likelihood they will make their home in your house, cover up any potential entry points once you know your home is squirrel free. You can start by sprinkling repellent pellets around the perimeter of your home. Then, install mesh fencing to keep the rodents from entering your foundation or getting into your house near the eaves. 

3. Call a Professional

Wildlife management professionals understand squirrel behavior. They use this knowledge to locate where the squirrels are living and capture them safely for relocation without damaging your home. These individuals are trained in removing the animals and then squirrel-proofing your home so you won’t have the same issue again.
