Problem with squirrels near your home or business?

Squirrels seek warmth in the fall and can infiltrate through the roofs, chimneys or ventilation dampers of your home or business, shed or garage. They will make a cozy nest in an inaccessible place and raise their babies there.

They will chip away at wood, punch holes in walls and ceilings, move insulation, and chip away at electrical wires to find their way, all of which can create a fire hazard.

Squirrels can carry diseases and parasites, and even the rabies virus. Their feces and urine can contaminate your home or business, and can be the source of health problems for your loved ones.
But how do you fix this problem? Two solutions are available to you:

DETERRENCE METHODS

You can try deterrent methods to prevent squirrels from roaming around and entering your home (protecting bird feeders; securing around chimneys, air vents and attic; laying wire mesh at the bottom of fences). But squirrels sneak everywhere …

If you’ve tried everything, don’t try to poison them. Besides being illegal you could kill the neighbor’s dog or cat! Contact our team to capture that squirrel or those squirrels that annoy you. Your problem will be resolved very quickly!

CAPTURE A SQUIRREL AND RELOCATE IT

Overpopulation

In a love-hate relationship with squirrels, many Quebecers wonder why there are so many squirrels in their cities?

The answer is very simple, they have almost no predators, which leaves them free to reproduce in large numbers. Remember that squirrels have 2 litters per year with 1 to 6 babies.

Those squirrels are far from stupid! In fact, to prepare for winter survival, squirrels hide food such as seeds and acorns during the summer season.

They sometimes forget the location of these because they hide thousands underground. This results in new tree shoots when spring comes!
