Homeowners in Atlanta frequently call with squirrel problems. These seemingly innocuous, cute little creatures have a habit of finding their way into your attic or crawlspace and using it to nest and raise their babies.
Because squirrels are active seemingly year round (even when we do not see them), squirrel extermination is necessary in both winter and summer months. Mother squirrels seek out the safest, warmest location for their young and in your home that means the attic. With 3-5 babies born at a time twice a year and a three month care cycle before the baby squirrels are old enough to live on their own. However, usually when raised in an attic, baby squirrels decide to stay.
Many squirrel problems relate to their rodent-relations. These are creatures that chew constantly, seeking anything to help whittle down their rapidly growing teeth. This means the woodwork and frames in your attic. In some cases, they may even chew on electrical lines. This is more than just a nuisance, but a real danger to you and your family if a fire were to occur.
Squirrel Extermination
Squirrel extermination focuses on removing squirrels from the attic and then cleaning up after their presence to discourage future squirrels from following in their footsteps. Some squirrels will fall and die in between walls, so they need to be removed promptly to avoid unwanted smells and waste. Additionally, droppings and urine are sanitized from the attic and all entry points are sealed, including attic vents, chimney flaps and other potentially open areas.
