Why do you have a squirrel infestation?
Squirrels have learned to adapt to human settlements because of easy access to food and shelter.
Garden, trashcans, pet food, and bird feeder provide squirrels with the added nutrition they need. That’s why they infest properties to access these accessible sources of food.
Living spaces – like the attic, chimney, or under the house – provide safety and warmth for squirrels to live and even raise their young. They will break into such places to build their nest if given the opportunity.
After getting rid of squirrels, you must put measures to ensure they don’t come back. Some things to bear in mind include:
Eliminate easy access to food. This involves securing your trash cans, taking pet food indoors, cleaning up under your bird feeder, and more.
Eliminate easy access to shelter. This involves making sure no vulnerable spots around your property squirrels can break in through.

Every squirrel removal process begins with a thorough inspection to identify the source and extent of the problem. The attic, chimney, porch, deck, and other building parts are inspected to discover how the animals are getting in and the damages they have wreaked. Only then can a robust removal plan be designed and implemented.
Squirrels leave lots of waste behind. From droppings to nesting materials, these wastes must be removed. Ensure appropriate gloves are worn to prevent decontamination. After that, the entire area should be disinfected with a powerful enzyme-based cleaner to kill all bacteria and pathogens. Only then should repairs be made to preserve the structural integrity of the building.
Over the years, Metro Wildlife and Pest Control professionals have developed several methods for squirrel removal. Our solution is usually custom to perfectly meet your specific needs. Some of the most common methods for squirrel removal include: Exclusion: Exclusion is usually the best method for squirrel removal because it is noninvasive. However, it is most effective for adult squirrels living in enclosed spaces. All entry holes to the area are sealed, except one. An exclusion device is installed in the last hole. Once the squirrels leave through the hole, they cannot get back in. Trapping: Trapping and relocation are best for dealing with outdoor squirrels or nursing squirrels. Peanut butter is usually the best bait for squirrel traps. Pups can also be used as bait to trick their mother into the trap. Once captured, the nuisance animal can then be relocated to at least 10 miles from the property. Repellents: Repellents are only effective after getting rid of easy access to food and shelter on your property. Common homemade squirrel repellents include capsaicin, peppermint oil, garlic, and rosemary, among many others. Note that repellents need to be continuously reapplied to remain effective.
