The Importance of Squirrel Removal
Effective squirrel removal and prevention require a
combination of understanding squirrel behavior, sealing
entry points, and maintaining a clean environment. Remember,
while squirrels can be cute and entertaining to watch from a
distance, they can cause severe damage and pose health risks
when they invade your home.
Common Misconceptions About Squirrel Infestations
There are several misconceptions about dealing with
squirrels in your chimney:
They’ll Leave on Their Own: Squirrels are unlikely to leave
a warm, safe nesting spot on their own. Active removal is
usually necessary.
Using Smoke Will Chase Them Away: Smoke can harm or even
kill squirrels, and it can create a fire hazard. It’s not a
safe or humane method.
Poison Is an Effective Solution: Poisoning squirrels can be
dangerous and inhumane. It can also lead to dead animals in
hard-to-reach places, causing odor and health issues.
