Squirrels in attic!!!!!!!!

donnamatrix · 01-27-2012, 10:53 AM

I live in Moultonboro, Tom is in Meredith. Several years ago, we had flying squirrels in attic. Would never have known about the, but the cats kept racing up the stairs and staring at the walls-so we knew something was up. Our house is stick-built with vinyl siding and faux-stone facing on front. There are lots of little places where critters can enter. Tom eradicated the critters, and filled all suspicious entries. He has helped us with bats, and last year - the debacle with the damned woodchuck. He is talented, fairly priced, and - at least for us - he's been successful every time.

I live in Moultonborough but the squirrels are in MA.

If the squirrels are in MA - why are you posting on a NH website? Anyway, I bet if you call Tom at Alpha Omega he may know somebody close your home in MA who could eradicate them.

One word - Cat - problem solved

Give them directions to the location in this thread: http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/...ad.php?t=13521

which is a thread about squirrels in the basement (Sorry Professor, I saw this one first.)

A case of misery deserving company.

Seriously, wish you both luck. We've killed over two dozen mice this winter alone between traps and the cats.

Have a home on the lake and value the advice of this forum!!!! That is why I posted here. Was hoping to find a solution that I could use doing it myself. At the moment the moth flakes may have done it. The fascia boards and soffits on the corner of the house have also been replaced so hoping no more can get in. However I am told that they will eat through new material? This is the new PVC board? I have yet to get the rat traps. Been busy. Will look and see. Was at the lake a week ago. MY FAVORITE PLACE ON THE EARTH!

Just picked up 300 rounds for my .22.

Grey squirrels have been getting closer and closer to my house.

We'll see about that.

Why not claymore mines. Worked great back in the day!

That's a solution for outdoor pests. Here's one that won't scare the neighbors.

Be careful not to get caught out of season, and be sure your hunting license is current.

Try ammonia

I had the same problem of squirrels in the attic, with holes that they chewed in the soffit for getting in and out. I bought some fox urine,which also came with small vials, and I nailed the vials up at each of the soffit holes on the outside. The squirrels left, since that had the smell of their predator. Then I closed up the holes, and they never returned. I got the urine at this website (of course, this poses the question of where did they get the urine?):

Good luck.

From Redd Foxx maybe?

Tom is the ONE! I had terrible case of racoons in attic. He trapped them, removed nesting, and used strong galvanized netting to keep them out, covering the gable end vents, which they had chewed!!!
