"Mark was very professional, thorough and completed the project in record time. I would recommend him with high remarks. He was gentle with the family of squirrels he caught, which speaks to his good nature. He even fixed the problem - hole that was created by them to enter my attic. I've have tried for months to get contractors to repair the hole at the top of my front door when it was small and was unsuccessful. As time went by the whole became big enough for squirrels to make my attic their nesting place. Mark not only repaired the whole he extracted the family of squirrels, which was six. He was good with the removal and did not harm any of them. I'm extremely impressed and wish him much success. I would recommend him to anyone, anytime and any day. He is a reliable, honest and a hardworking person. Thank you, Mark."

Animal Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Like many other rodents, squirrels can be a little difficult to get rid of (especially in the case of an infestation), but the best approach is to make the place as unattractive to squirrels as possible. If you do have an infestation inside your home, then professional help may be necessary so you can lay as many traps as possible. 

Scented mouse deterrents, like peppermint oil, can be effective in the short term. The pungent smells may temporarily repel mice, but they lose effectiveness as the scent fades or mice get used to it. The main drawbacks are frequent reapplication and the fact that these deterrents don't address the root cause of the infestation, such as entry points or food sources. While they can be part of a broader strategy, scented deterrents alone are rarely enough to eliminate a mouse problem.

Rocks are less likely to attract snakes and other critters because their prey (termites, ticks, and other insects) don’t usually inhabit this environment. However, if you have placed together rocks with large spaces in between or near a source of water, you may find a snake or an occasional chipmunk seeking shelter.

If you’re an animal lover and want to support biodiversity, consider letting a possum live peacefully in your yard. Possums rarely contract rabies or behave aggressively, and they can keep problematic rat, mouse, cockroach, slug, snail, and tick populations down. You might just want to make some modifications to prevent them from making a home in your attic, chimney, or crawl spaces.

Some of the best smells for keeping squirrels away are those that have a spicy or pungent odor. This includes pepper, garlic powder, vinegar, mint, and coffee. Just be careful when handling cayenne or chili pepper. Don’t touch your face to prevent getting some in your eyes, and be sure to keep it away from children and pets.
