Should I hire a pro, or remove squirrels myself?

You might find that you do a really great job of removing the squirrel from your home or commercial property yourself, but there are more people who give up and call in the professionals (like us) than are actually successful in their venture. You shouldn't feel too sad if you don't manage to capture the furry little beast - they've become rather well-adapted to living alongside humans, and they've also gotten rather good at avoiding capture. These are wild animals, and you must remember that. They will run away if they can, and when they are cornered, they will lash out. Squirrels especially have large teeth and claws, and they're super sharp too. They can make light work of most materials, and your skin will certainly be no exception. Throw in a few disease risks - leptospirosis, for example, or salmonella poisoning, perhaps the very rare chance of rabies, and you have the right combination for a quite dangerous and vicious little critter. Homeowners aren't used to dealing with wild animal invasions usually, whereas the professionals - wild animal control experts - have the right tools, as well as the right knowledge, to get the job done. They'll know where to look for those tiny cracks and crevices that wild critters use to gain entrance to your home or commercial property, and they'll also know the right exclusion methods to get rid of the animals, as well as the right sealing materials to ensure they can't ever come back. In short, using a professional will more than likely get the job done quicker, cheaper, and much more efficiently.

When you ask yourself if you should hire a professional to remove the squirrels infestation or not, then the answer is that it depends on the type of infestation you have. If there are two squirrels in the yard, then you may scare them on your own or you can remove the foods sources that attract them otherwise and they will stop coming near your home. However, if there is a large number of squirrels into your home and they continue to come on daily basis, then you may be having babies on the ceiling, attic or roof. Then there is a need to call a professional to do animal control.

If the squirrels are found in the attic, then the professional will remove them and they will seal the entry holes that they are using. The cost will vary according to the repair needed, the country where you are living, the number of squirrels you have in your attic and the services trips that should be made to your home. If the squirrels are found at the outside, the squirrels have to be trapped in a cage and have to be taken away which means that the cost will be even lower.

Even if the costs of the service may be different from one another, their service are highly specialized and they have unique liability risks and licensing. You get back what you pay for and cheap companies will also do a bad work. The price will be different from one job to another and each squirrel job differs from one another.
