How do you get rid of squirrels in the attic?
Squirrels in the attic can become a major problem as they do structural damage to the exterior of your home(fascia board and siding) and interior(chewing through electrical wiring).
Step 1 to getting rid of squirrels is to trap or otherwise make uncomfortable squirrels currently in the attic. This can be done with live traps and irritating lighting such as the Evictor strobe light.
Step 2 once all squirrels are gone, structural repairs must be made to keep additional squirrels from getting into your home. Sometimes this requires metal flashing and mesh as squirrels are voracious chewers.
Step 3 is to make your home as inhospitable in squirrels as possible. Trim all trees and bushes around the home to make it more difficult for squirrels to get to your attic.
