About Squirrels
Squirrels are active during the day. They eat all variety of nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Everyday they are on a mission to gather and store precious food. They forget about 20% of the seeds they bury which is good for the ecosystem. Female squirrel will give birth twice per year (August & February) to a litter of three to six babies. The ideal place to raise these babies is a dry, warm attic in the urban setting. They bring nesting material into the attic and leave waste behind. They need to chew to wear down their ever growing teeth, and thus pose a risk of chewing on electrical wires in attics, which can cause a fire hazard. They also chew on the wood in the attic and outside the home.
How do they get access to my attic?
Squirrels can chew through wood, plastic, and aluminum. The attic environment is an ideal nesting location, it's high, dry and warm. When the heat comes out of your attic, it attracts the squirrels. They start investigating your roof and takes little time to start chewing at a roof vent or a soffit and make their way inside the attic. They can chew and damage roof vents, roof pipes, soffit, or the roof line and access your attic. Squirrel Control is way harder when they are already settled in, especially if they have babies.
How can I remove the squirrels?
The best way of removal is using the right material and equipment. Heavy guage steel is needed to stop them from getting back. A one-way door system is the best and fastest way to get rid of the squirrels inside your attic/chimney. This device is going to allow them to get out on their own term but not be able to get back in. We don't recommend anyone try to remove a nuisance wildlife. It's dangerous work. It's best to leave it to professionals.
Fact: Mother squirrels are very protective of their young and if threatened have been known to attack people and pets
