Look Squirrel !! Be careful of them

Squirrels are a common sight in many neighborhoods, but they can sometimes find their way into human homes. While these cute and fluffy animals may seem harmless, they can cause a lot of damage and inconvenience if they decide to take up residence in your home. Here are some tips to help you avoid squirrels living in your house.


  1. Remove any sources of food. Squirrels are attracted to food, so removing any sources of food from your yard can help prevent them from coming near your home. This means picking up any fallen fruit from trees, securing your trash cans, and not leaving pet food outside.

  2. Seal up any gaps or holes in your home's exterior. Squirrels are excellent climbers and can squeeze through surprisingly small spaces, so it's important to seal up any gaps or holes in your home's exterior. This includes checking for holes around windows and doors, as well as repairing any damaged roofing or siding.

  3. If a squirrel gets inside your home, act quickly. If you find a squirrel inside your home, it's important to remove it before it causes any damage. You can try to gently guide the squirrel outside using a broom or other long object, or you can call a professional for assistance.

  4. During spring season, squirrels get more active to find cozy spots for their babies. If you see a lot of squirrels around your house, make sure you are taking steps to secure your house. If you get assistance of pest control professionals like Akim Pest Control, they can help you identify any potential spots on your property and can help you secure them, so you can keep the squirrels out.



In summary, squirrels can cause problems if they decide to live in your house. To avoid this, remove any sources of food, seal up gaps and holes in your home's exterior, use squirrel repellent, and act quickly if a squirrel gets inside. By taking these steps, you can help prevent squirrels from making themselves at home in your house.
