There are two types of people, one who loves squirrels and wants to attract them in their yard and feed them, and the other who does not like the squirrel at all. Squirrels seem sweet but this small creature causes thousands of dollars to be lost but it is unexpected. Here we are discussing some precautions suggestions to keep the Squirrel away from the attic:
1. Check the trees near your home: This move applies to all the trees that are far from your home -
• Prevent squirrel from climbing trees from six to eight feet above the ground with two-foot metal fastening around the trunk.
• To fasten the sheet metal, wrap the wires around the trunk and attach them to the springs.
2. Inspect the house for attic entry points: Because in the summer the attics become so hot and in summer it is often the best time to block attic entries. You can check entries by starting from here –
• Outside: inspect the outside part of your home, because remember that squirrel can find any entry to come in the attic and the holes can be smaller than you expect. So should be aware of that.
• Inside: Then check the inner part of your home. Dim light can attract the Squirrel in Attic.
• Close the entrances: close all the possible entrance securely. Remember that squirrels can spoil and chew your path despite your best efforts.
• Use a repellent: You can use repellent available in the market and make it at home and spray the area of your garden. This mixture allegedly works against all animals, is effective only for three to five days.
• Check chimneys: Pack the chimney with cap.
3. Using the Squirrel Traps: If you found that the squirrel is already in the attic, then set the Squirrel Traps for Attic. Cover the net with a cloth and take the net outside of the house to leave the squirrel in your yard near the entrance of the house.
In this way you can stop the squirrel to come in the attic but what if the squirrel is already in the attic and is making a nest with its newborn children?
In this situation, you have to be patient first until the babies will not leave the nest, after that you can remove the squirrel nest from your attic.
