Do You Need Squirrel Removal Services?
Squirrels are notorious for making noises, typically at dawn, when they are leaving their nests in search of food. Most squirrel removal customers in Richmond, VA complain of scratching and scurrying noises in the ceilings or walls of buildings. Customers may also find holes in the siding or gutters of their homes, where the squirrels are entering for shelter.
Critter Control in Richmond, VA will help you determine if you are in need of squirrel removal solutions. We will ask you a series of questions to help identify what method of squirrel removal is necessary. For the most effective evaluation of your squirrel situation, it is important for you to track what time of day you are hearing noises, how long you have been hearing noises and in what area of the home or building you are hearing noises.
Methods of Squirrel Removal:
Squirrels will enter buildings in Richmond, VA for shelter and nesting. Squirrels commonly use attics as den sites and have two litters of offspring each year, one in the spring and one in the fall. If squirrel removal is not implemented immediately when the squirrel situation is identified, the population of squirrels living in or around a building will continue to grow. These squirrels need to be promptly removed from the area in order to take control of the squirrel situation.
The most effective method of squirrel removal is trapping them. Critter Control of Richmond will set traps to catch the squirrels around your Richmond, VA home or business. Any squirrels that are trapped are safely relocated to other areas.
An alternative to squirrel removal trapping is the use of one-way doors. One-way doors are part of Critter Control’s CritterSafe squirrel removal solutions. One-way doors are set up at the squirrel’s entry point and once the squirrel leaves the building, it will not be able to re-enter. However, as squirrels are extremely inquisitive animals and constant chewers, one-way doors have a higher chance of ineffectiveness; the removed squirrels may simply chew another hole for re-entry. Contact Critter Control of Richmond to find out if CritterSafe solutions are offered at this location.
