Squirrels are dangerous in part because they’re so cute. They can wreak havoc on just about any home, but they’re so cute most homeowners don’t really want to do them any harm.
Fortunately, at Elite Wildlife of Houston, TX, we employ 100% humane squirrel control and removal methods.
Here are some of the ways we take care of your squirrel problem (without hurting the squirrels).
Live Trapping
When squirrels are already in your attic it’s difficult to root them out. They aren’t like bats, who will want to leave the nest every night. Sometimes they burrow down and eat their stored nuts, instead.
Adding live traps to your attic allows us to capture all the squirrels currently within. We can then take those squirrels far away from human habitation and release them into the wild, where they will go on to live their little squirrel lives.
Exclusion Methods
Exclusion methods are humane. They’re also one of the most effective ways to keep squirrels out of your attic.
We find all the locations squirrels used to get in and out of your attic, and we block them off for good. That way, new squirrel families won’t get inside and start the process all over again.
Advice for Homeowners
The truth is that a wildlife control company can only do so much.
You’re the boots on the ground in the place where you live. You’ll experience better squirrel control results if you take certain steps such as:
- Keeping gutters clean
- Installing gutter guards
- Trimming tree limbs
- Removing food sources
Sometimes, we walk around a client’s yard or garden and find even more tips and tricks that we can offer them, based on their home set-up. We’ll be happy to provide you with this sort of guidance, too.
Of course, these methods are only as effective as a homeowner’s willingness and desire to use them!
