When Did Squirrels Become Unwanted Roommates?
The first clues were probably easy to overlook: a squirrel pausing on the gutter, a few scattered nutshells on the driveway, or the occasional rustle from the eaves. Now the attic and roof spaces fill with steady scratching, rolling noises, and high-pitched chattering at dawn and dusk. You’ve started finding chewed openings near vents, stripped bark on nearby trees, insulation pulled apart for nests, and the telltale dark stains and droppings that signal long-term occupation. It’s well past time to do something about your squirrel infestation.
The Pitfalls of Tackling It Solo
Homeowners often try basic deterrents such as plastic owls, motion sprinklers, or amateur traps and see limited success. Squirrels quickly figure out these tricks, become bolder, or simply find new ways in. Harsh poisons risk unintended harm to pets, beneficial wildlife, or even the squirrels themselves in ways most people want to avoid, while catch-and-kill approaches feel unnecessary and unkind. The hardest part is correctly identifying every entry, safely removing all individuals without orphaning young, and making repairs and seals strong enough to withstand determined returns. Incomplete work almost always results in the same squirrels, or new ones, reoccupying the space.
