Unwanted Property Guests: Squirrels
Let’s explore one of Wisconsin’s most common, unwanted property guests: squirrels. There are approximately 200 species of squirrels in the United States. However, in our region, including Ozaukee, Milwaukee, Washington, and Waukesha Counties, the most prominent squirrel species include the red squirrel, grey squirrel, 13-lined ground squirrel, and flying squirrel.
Facts & Information
What are Squirrels?
Squirrels are small to medium-sized members of the rodent family. The average adult measures between 12 and 14 inches in length. They can be red, brown, grey, or black-colored with distinct, bushy tails. These rodents have sharp claws and large front incisors that never stop growing, contributing to some of their lifestyle habits.
Squirrel Habitat & Lifestyle
Squirrels are avid climbers and spend the majority of their time scaling trees and buildings. They prefer to feast on nuts, seeds, and berries but are not the most discerning eaters. Due to their expansive incisors, they constantly chew on hard objects to file down their teeth and prevent overgrowth.
How Squirrels Infiltrate Homes
As mentioned, squirrels are notorious for chewing on hard objects. As a result, they often seek out exterior property components, such as roofing and vents, to seek shelter in attics. Once inside, they are known to wreak havoc on insulation, wires, wooden support beams, and much more, costing homeowners thousands of dollars in property damage.
Treatment & Control
Squirrel Trapping
Advanced Wildlife Control Inc. specializes in squirrel removal in Milwaukee. We use a humane live-trapping protocol to eradicate these problematic houseguests. We begin with a thorough property inspection to detect squirrel nesting areas. We then devise an effective plan to safely catch the squirrels and relocate them a minimum of 30 miles away from your residence.
Signs That Indicate Squirrels In the Attic
It can be challenging to detect the moment squirrels infiltrate a home. However, it won’t be long before these destructive critters begin displaying warning signs, including:
- Scratching, squeaking, or scurrying noises in the morning
- Physical squirrel evidence, including nests, droppings, or chewed-up structural components
- Squirrels on the roof
How to Get Rid of Squirrels In Your Home
Squirrels are unwelcomed visitors, especially during squirrel mating season or once they begin destroying structural components of your home. Fortunately, these problematic critters can be eradicated with professional intervention. To remove squirrels, a squirrel control technician may recommend one of the following techniques:
- Squirrel trapping
- One-way exclusion doors
- Deterrents
- Direct capture
Squirrel Exclusion & Repair
Preventative exclusion and repair services are essential for effective squirrel control. Our technicians can seal and repair vulnerable entry points to prevent squirrels and other critters from entering your home. We may also recommend protective additions like chimney caps, vent covers, or ridge guards to help keep squirrel intrusions at bay.
Exclusion Services for Flying Squirrels
Flying squirrels are a protected species and cannot be trapped. Therefore, we use a specific exclusion technique to remove and prevent these unfavorable critters humanely. We inspect the attic and exterior to strategically install one-way exclusion doors, allowing the squirrels to exit the property. We then address potential entry points to prohibit re-entry.
The Aftermath of Squirrel Control
Even once the squirrels have been removed and relocated, your home is not fully hazard-free. The leftover contaminants, including feces, fur, urine, and parasites, can linger long after the squirrels are gone, putting your home at risk of severe health hazards. Fortunately, Advanced Wildlife Control Inc. is here to alleviate this concern.
