Decatur Squirrel Trappers Will Relocate These Unwelcome Houseguests

By Dave L. Weglin


Sharing one's home with a family of squirrels can be rather disturbing. Each of the many species of these creatures can be a bit difficult for the untrained person to easily get rid of, which is why a professional should be assigned this task. Decatur squirrel trappers will safely trap all of these furry pests and move them elsewhere so they cannot be a problem.

Squirrels normally nest up in trees, but sometimes they will decide that the attic or other spaces in houses are suitable for this. Homeowners usually become aware of these creatures' presence by the scuffling sounds from the ceilings or walls and unfortunately they can be very persistent if not removed before they reproduce.

Equipped with the appropriate tools, knowledge, and experience, a certified wildlife control specialist will easily be able to identify all access points in the home, trap and relocate the animals, and repair these points of entry to prevent future infestations. Dealing with this issue as soon as one is aware of it is recommended to minimize damage and also the cost to fix it.

In most cases these experts will use live traps to ensnare the creatures without harming them and then they will be taken into the wild where they will be released. All measures taken by these companies are careful to comply with local laws pertaining to wildlife removal as well.

Most of the traps animal removal services use are either single animal live cage traps or repeating live cage traps. The former draw the animals as they are baited with food, but when it enters it becomes trapped by stepping on a trigger which activates the door. The latter are secured over all known openings used by squirrels, but have one-way doors, so when they exit they are not able to go back, these can trap several animals at once.

Sometimes a one-way exclusion door will be affixed to any access points on the house. Like a repeating live cage trap, it traps the animal on its way out but does not allow it to return to the house, yet it differs in that it does permit it to simply run free. The main disadvantage of this approach is that it presents the possibility the creatures may return to seek another way inside.

Fixing any access points early on is the best way to prevent extensive damage and it also decreases the chance the squirrels will have offspring as they are known to do twice each year. Untrained people should not try to remove these animals on their own as they are likely to get hurt, harm the squirrels, or possibly break the law.
