How To Solve Problems With Squirrels

	How To Remove Squirrels From Attic     Squirrels entering the attic is probably the most common nuisance wildlife problem nationwide.  Most commonly, the squirrel problem isn't recognized until the mother squirrel's litter begins running around and also making noise in the attic.  Squirrels, like rats and other rodents, constantly have to chew. The potential for damage to electrical wires, air ducts, and plumbing is substantial.  Follow this page to learn the best methods to remove squirrels from the home attic.
	How To Trap For Squirrels     Trapping squirrel is either done using food baited traps or by setting one way traps at  entry point the squirrel must walk through.  The best results come when the home is sealed except for one or two entry / exit points where traps are set. .
	Squirrel Videos     Wildlife Patrol's squirrel removal videos including videos of squirrel in attic, squirrel damage to fascia, 1-way trap setup, and squirrel removal success.
	Squirrel Photos     Here's our collection of squirrel removal photographs we've taken over the years while performing Orlando, FL animal control services.
	Tile roof rodent control    Tile roof rodent jobs can be especially challenging. Most tile roof jobs in Florida are resolved in the exact same manner as flat shingle roofs. Some homes require a great deal of sealing around the tile's perimeter.
	Squirrel Down Chimney / Fireplace     Most chimney caps leave the outer flue open for squirrels to explore. When they go down this hole, they need fast help within 48 hours to assist them in getting out. There is no way to remove squirrels in the outer chimney flue from inside the fireplace.

Stopping Home Problems Caused By  Eastern Grey Squirrels Squirrels are the most commonly seen mammal in Florida. They jump from trees to the rooftops of all the homes in Orlando. When homeowners hear noises in the attic, their first guess is squirrels are inside the attic - and they are often correct. Mother squirrels love to use attics to nest and raise their litter. Squirrel activity creates running, scratching, and chewing noises from the ceiling and makes an attic filled with soiled insulation. Worse, their inherent rodent gnawing (just like rats) puts all structures at risk. Electrical wires, plumbing, and AC ducts are all at risk when squirrels are in the attic.

• Close all doors to any rooms in the house that the squirrel is not in. Close all of the curtains on the windows or the doors in the room where the fireplace or exhaust fan is located. If necessary, use newspaper to cover incoming light sources. Leave the curtain open on the window or the door where you want the squirrel to exit. Open that window or door as wide as possible. Remove the screen, if necessary. Open the door to the fireplace or the cover from the exhaust fan so the squirrel can exit. They will escape towards the light.

• Go into the attic and locate the nest during mid-morning.
• Very gently tamper with the nest. Try pulling off the top of the nest and if possible slide the nest over a foot or so..
• Place a radio designated squirrel removal device about 6' from the nest.
• Roll squirrel eviction rags into a tight ball and tie with twine. Soak rag balls in ammonia until saturated and toss them into the vicinity of the squirrels' nest.
• Check the nest the following morning. If the babies are gone, you can usually block the entries. First, make sure the mother squirrel didn't remove the babies to another part of the attic. The radio usually prevents this.
• If the mother has or knows of an alternate nest site, she will usually move her young within an hour or so. If she has to find or build a new nest, it may take 5 or 6 hours.
