Squirrels

I specialize in humane and effective methods of removing animals from houses.

Like most rodents the most important part of resolving a squirrel problem is a full home inspection. Squirrels will often make multiple entry points if given enough time. They are primarily diurnal and mostly active in the morning and evening. They will generally have two litters per year from early Spring to early fall and it is very important to try to remove the squirrels before they establish a nest. When female squirrels give birth they often become very active near their entry point. Sealing or blocking an entry point might be tempting but a mother excluded from her babies will often be very determined to get back to her young and can create a lot more damage to the house trying to get back inside. Setting up cage traps may seem like a good idea but in Seattle there is practically a limitless amount of squirrels in any given neighborhood. They will often beat themselves bloody in an attempt to get out of the cage traps and will most likely die if not removed quickly.
