Detailed Squirrel Removal Process
Inspection and Assessment
Our process starts with a thorough inspection of your property to identify entry points, nesting areas, and the extent of the squirrel infestation. This assessment allows us to develop a customized removal plan tailored to your specific situation. We look for common entry points such as damaged vents, loose siding, and gaps around pipes and wiring.
Humane Trapping and Removal
Once we've identified the extent of the infestation, we use humane trapping methods to capture the squirrels safely. We strategically place traps in areas where squirrels are most active, ensuring their capture without causing harm. We follow all local and federal regulations regarding wildlife removal.
Relocation (When Necessary)
In some cases, relocation may be necessary. We prioritize relocating squirrels to suitable habitats away from residential areas, ensuring they have a chance to thrive in a natural environment. We adhere to ethical guidelines and best practices for wildlife relocation.
Exclusion and Prevention
To prevent future infestations, we seal off entry points and implement exclusion measures to make it difficult for squirrels to re-enter your home. This may involve repairing or replacing damaged vents, sealing gaps in siding, and installing barriers to prevent climbing.
Home Sealing
Home sealing involves filling any gaps, cracks, or holes that squirrels can use to enter your home. This includes sealing around pipes, cables, vents, and any other openings that may be present. This is a crucial step in preventing future infestations.
Vent Protection
Vents are common entry points for squirrels. We install vent covers and screens to prevent squirrels from entering through these openings. This simple measure can significantly reduce the risk of future infestations.
Clean-Up and Sanitation
Squirrels can leave behind droppings and nesting materials that can pose health risks. We provide thorough clean-up and sanitation services to remove these materials and disinfect the affected areas, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for you and your family.
Decontamination
Decontamination involves using specialized cleaning agents to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that may be present in squirrel droppings and nesting materials. This is an important step in ensuring a safe and healthy environment.
Common Problems Caused by Squirrels
Gnawing on Electrical Wires
Squirrels have a natural instinct to gnaw on objects to keep their teeth sharp. Unfortunately, this often includes electrical wires. Chewed wires can create a fire hazard and lead to costly repairs. Our rodent control services include identifying and mitigating these risks, ensuring your home is safe from electrical fires caused by rodents.
Damaging Insulation
Squirrels often tear apart insulation to create nests, which can reduce the energy efficiency of your home and increase your utility bills. Damaged insulation requires immediate attention to maintain optimal thermal performance. We provide comprehensive inspection and sanitation services to restore your home to its former state. A squirrel infestation may require us to remove all old, damaged insulation and replace with new, energy-efficient materials.
Contaminating Attics and Crawl Spaces
Squirrel droppings and urine can contaminate attics and crawl spaces, creating unpleasant odors and posing health risks. These areas require thorough cleaning and disinfection to eliminate harmful bacteria and pathogens. At 'Ant & Rodent Pest Control Baltimore', we provide thorough sanitation services to clean up squirrel messes, making your attic or crawl space safe again.
Blocking Gutters and Downspouts
Squirrels often build nests in gutters and downspouts, causing them to become clogged and leading to water damage. Blocked gutters can cause water to overflow, damaging your roof, siding, and foundation. Regular gutter cleaning and prevention are crucial to avoid these issues."We make sure to check all these common points and will inform you on ways to keep the squirells from returning.
