1. Trap them using a live trap. Live traps are where you catch them "a live." Only problem is getting rid of them.
2. Call an exterminator or someone who can do the work for you. They have the experience, the equipment and know best how to do it, but they will cost you some money.
3. Use a powerful strobe light. Squirrels and other animals that might inhabit your roof have very sensitive eyes and are easily bothered by this flashing light.
You can use a Havahart trap, which you may be able to borrow from your County Animal Control officer. He will take the trap with raccoon, and release the raccoon in the woods. http://www.havahart.com/store/live-animal-traps/target-animal/raccoon
It can be a real pain if the squirrels have made their way into the attic. The good news is that there are professionals out there who can help! The critter guy is a reliable source for removing squirrels from your attic. You can reach them here if you're from Ontario.
Look for the way that they got in and wait till they go out to look for food then block the hole. Usually squirrels will nest in the spring and summer so wait till fall or winter to do this.
of course they can. They can build nests, and many other things.
Flying squirrels are much less destructive than grey squirrels.....but still they tend to chew on wires running through the attic, so it is not a good idea to allow them to live there.
they got into your attic by either keeping it open or finding a way to the attic from outside.
kill them
Strobe lights may scare the squirrels out of the attic, but I personally have never try it. I say you should give it a go. Good luck! I have had a lot of success evicting squirrels with the Evictor High Intensity Strobe Lights. It seems that the strobes do not scare the squirrels, but instead annoys them so much they voluntarily leave the attic.
Through holes, the attic, doors, windows.
You will not have flying squriles in your atic. they need nature to survive
It will take ventilation and time.
Sure! -Squirrels do, and they also are rodents.
Yes, because Ive observed it in a home Ive JUST rented.
No loud noises will only send them into a furious rage, the trick most people use is napalm its safe easy to make and effective on most squirrels except black squirrels in that case you must let raccoons in your attic and they will fight for their territory and kill each other taking care of your squirrel and raccon problem in one swoop, hope this helps
People usually don't keep squirrels in their attics - the squirrels usually get inside without them knowing the animals are there. Squirrels in an attic can be very harmful - they tear up things and leave droppings and urine and can cause disease. You should let your neighbors know that they need to call animal control to get rid of the squirrels.
Shoot em and eat them. If they are in the attic hook up a white disco lamp there for a few nights.
