Madison wildlife control tip of the month:

How to Get Rid of Squirrels

Squirrels are one of the cutest pests ever. Under normal circumstances we simply fall in love with them, when observing during the play. Their big brown eyes, beautiful bushy tail, just want to pet them. However, unfortunately there is another side to these feisty little creatures as well. These rodents are stubborn very agile and persistent when they want something. Usually they aren´t harmful or dangerous but all that can change once they invade our homes. As they are champions in chewing a lot of damage could be caused. They can chew through a lot of different materials like wood, electric wiring, different kind of vents and so on. As squirrels are pretty smart animals they find a way into your home you can´t believe it when you see it. What makes the entrance even easier is the fact that they are excellent climbers.

SQUIRREL PREVENTION
When you are trying to get rid of squirrels you need to make some changes around your home:
remove all food source; such as bird seeds and feed your pets inside
trim all the branches hanging towards the roof
no piles of wood against the building
repair the cracks in walls
locate and seal all entry points

If squirrel prevention wasn´t successful that usually means squirrels in the house.

SQUIRREL REPELLENT:
There are some different Madison animal trapping opinions regarding the use and effectiveness of repellents. Certain people are against, saying them don´t work and on the other side there are those who use the repellent and believe they are effective.

Here are some of them:
-high frequency sounding devices
-moth balls and ammonia
-predator urine, usually in form of spray.

However, all of above mentioned are just a temporary Madison wildlife removal solution. The only real solution is relocation of little pests. In order to do that you need to use some traps.

TRAPPING:
The most effective Madison pest control way of getting rid of squirrels is by trapping them and then relocating them to more suitable surroundings. Find the best location for placing the trap and bait it with peanut. Make sure the trap is not under the direct sun and once you have set the trap you need to check it constantly. After squirrel or the whole family has been captured, relocate them to a place with food, water and shelter. Squirrels need to be relocated at least 4-5 miles away from present living area. No matter what kind of method you use to get rid of squirrels, just make sure that is humane and you are not hurting them. There is no need what so ever for poisoning or shooting the squirrels. A lot of different and friendlier Madison exterminator methods can be used.

Squirrels are fun to watch up in the trees. These child-like animals are simply captivating in their performance. Running up and down, playing with their bushy tail, you just need to smile. Guaranteed fun not only for people, the pets are enjoying the entertainment as well. However, there is one thing watching these little creatures up in the tree tops and another thing having them as unwanted quests up in your attic. It´s just like they would change from a playful little toy into a big chewing machine, destroying everything in front of them. They become quite an annoying Madison animal control nuisance that need to be taken care of and removed instantaneously to a distance by any means.
