Since it’s in our name: animal removal is a given.
Yet, in the industry of nuisance animal removal, the actual removal of nuisance wild animals is only half of the battle.
Today, we again highlight removal and repair combination.
First Step : Remove the Squirrels
After recognizing there is a squirrel problem, the first step is to remove the squirrels.
This is accomplished by live trapping the squirrels.
Finding where they are enterin/exit the house is key for this step.
Traps are set up around these entrances. One-way door traps over the exits, catch squirrels that were inside and try to get out. At the same time, box traps on the outside cature squirrels coming to the entry point looking to get in.
Once squirrels have been removed and there are no longer any signs of them being inside, repairs can begin.
An Example of Squirrel Repairs
The repair of animal damage is arguably even more important than the actual animal removal as the repair or exclusion keeps future animals out.
Squirrels moving in can happen to almost anyone. The trick is to deal with these squirrels through removal and repair so that the problem doesn’t become an on-going one.
For example, the picture to the left shows a squirrel hole that was chewed through aluminum and wood.
Trapping the offending squirrels out is important. But, fixing this hole the right way prevents future animals (and water) from getting into the structure.
The first step to any squirrel problem is to get rid of the squirrels. Faced with this situation, Frontline Animal Removal will find the squirrels’ entry points and begin the squirrel removal process.
If the squirrels are not removed, they will work very hard to get back in.
So, once you have the pest squirrels managed through trapping and removal, it is time to make a nice repair.
Too often, repair/exclusion is done without removal and the squirrels work their way right back in to what they view as a safe habitat.
Frontline Animal Removal makes proper repair work a huge priority.
In this example the squirrels were all removed and then the repair which is shown at the right was made.
If the animals are removed from a house, but the house isn’t correctly repaired and sealed after the removal, the animals (and the elements) will find their way right back into a home.
Here is a recent video to help you visualize the process.
