Most often asked squirrel Questions You May Want Answered Now
squirrels keep getting into my bird feeders. How can I prevent this??

Do squirrels have babies all year round?
In Ohio, a female squirrel delivers babies around March and April. If you have squirrels in your attic during the cold months, more than likely, a female will give birth in that secure setting. Often a second litter will happen in July or August.
How did the squirrels get in my home?
Squirrels find many entries into a home. And if they can’t find one they can chew their way into your home. The following areas are perfect access points for squirrels:
- Where Soffit Meets Roof
- Roof Vents
- The Roof Edge
- Chimneys
- Plumbing Vents
- Through Pet Doors
What do you do with the squirrels after you catch them?
Our answer bothers many homeowners. When we trap a squirrel, this includes babies as well, we must release it on your property by Ohio law. Doing so minimizes the possibility of disease passed into other areas of Ohio. Otherwise, we must humanely euthanize all captured squirrels, including kits. If you don’t want us to euthanize the squirrels, we can make sure your property is squirrel proofed to the degree humanly possible, then release them on your property.
AND PLEASE, DON’T FEED SQUIRRELS IF YOU DON’T WANT THEM TO RETURN!

Our First Thought
Humanely Removing Squirrels From Your Montgomery County Ohio Home!
Squirrels’ antics inside a home make homeowners crazy with frustration, especially at nighttime. These cute frisky creatures have a place outside but not in your home. When outside your home, squirrels ransack bird feeders, bother your pets, and nibble at the outside of your home. Squirrels, being curious creatures, search for entry into your home, often getting into your attic or chimney.
Once squirrels have entered your home, whether it be your attic, chimney, or some other area, they must be removed. Humanely removing squirrels from your home may make a difference to you. At Montgomery County, Ohio Squirrel Removal, we believe in humanely removing squirrels, which means live-trapping. Sadly, at times, live-trapping will not work, though, in the majority of instances, it does. In such cases, we’ll clarify your options.
Montgomery County Ohio Squirrel Removal Trapping Methods
The Live Trap Method For Squirrel Trappng
Trapping a live squirrel means another day a squirrel lives and plays in nature. Live traps allow live capture. Once captured, we can release these critters on your property after we seal all squirrel entry points.
Large live traps for squirrels provide the most efficient way to capture a pesky squirrel. Our squirrel trapping experts use a Tomahawk 10 x 12 X 32 Pro Raccoon Trap with One Trap Door and Rear Access Door.
Live Trap Placement For Capturing Squirrels
Once our squirrel experts determine where your nuisance squirrels produce all your damage or where they live, they will place the live traps in those areas. These areas include attics, under porches, chimney regions, piles of wood, and fences.

Time for the building cleanup
Once our Montgomery County Ohio Squirrel Removal team performs their squirrel trapping magic, and sealed all the squirrel entrances and exits they may not be done yet! Accessing the possible squirrel damage must be a consideration for you. So we suggest a complete inspection of the areas of your home inhabited by the squirrels.
Squirrel poop and urine could be contaminating insulation. And if so, this insulation needs removal and replacement, for health reasons. Also, squirrel chewing habits can expose live electrical wire that could ignite material into a fire. And lastly, the squirrels may have chewed through vents and wood surfaces that will need repair.

An Interesting Squirrel Question By A Client
“I see squirrels walking across my electrical wires and power poles. How come squirrels don’t get electrocuted?”
Great question! Electricity provides us with amazing features in our home, but it is also deadly. But, we see squirrels run across live wires daily without a problem. But why?
Electricity only “attacks” bodies that provide resistance. Squirrels offer no resistance, well, very little, so the current bypasses its body. But, if a squirrel makes contact AT THE SAME TIME with another wire with a different voltage level or the ground wire, then the squirrel goes up in smoke.
