If you have a squirrel infestation in your home, and the same goes for infesting other animals, you have several options. The first question is: Who should you call? Obviously, the simple answer is: call our professional wildlife removal company, in Oakville, Ontario. The closer they are, the faster they can act. However, the removal of squirrels from home and the seal of entry points is a job that, in theory, could also be done through DIY.
The choice of calling a professional company or trying through DIY depends on several factors.
First, you need to evaluate the situation of the infestation in your home. If the squirrel is only one, you can try to chase him home, but if the infestation is more serious or you are not sure of the number of squirrels, call a professional. The main problem, in these cases, would be to seal the passages that the squirrels used to enter the house and separate any puppies from the mother. You would likely find hidden squirrel carcasses around the house and only notice it because of the stench, long after.
The presence of baby squirrels in the house is essential for deciding whether or not to call professionals. In addition to the fact that you could risk making them die in some corner of your home, it may also be useless to hunt the mother and not the little ones. If separated from her young, the squirrel mother will try in every way to reunite with her cubs. Not to mention that, to defend them, the squirrel could attack you much more easily. If you are not sure about this, don’t try to do a DIY job.
Furthermore, professionals are the best choice even if you care about animals and want to send the squirrels away from your home in a human way and without killing them. DIY could be risky not only for you, but also for squirrels. Wildlife removal professionals, on the other hand, can work in a much more humane way (they usually just drive away animals and take measures to prevent them from returning home) and avoid killing defenseless animals that seek only shelter from the cold and predators.
The best choice to get rid of the squirrels that infest your home, as you will understand, is to call our professional wildlife removal company. We will be able to take care of your problem in the shortest possible time and to ensure prevention against any new attempts at intrusion.
