How to get a live squirrel out of a wall - A squirrel is a rodent that has long tail. It usually resides in the trees in the warmer season. Watching them climb the tree and hop from one tree to the other and observing all the tricks and actions might be interesting.

But it does not last long. They move from the trees to homes during the winter. They go in quest of a warm and secure place. One fine day, they find the attics and walls of your house to be warmer and decide to stay there. Unless you take steps to wipe out the squirrels, they will never move out from your house.

Loudoun County critter trapping - You don’t need to invite them via your door on the front. They are very flexible and so they can easily fit their bodies via any hole or cavity through which they can get in. In order to enter into your house walls or attic, they just require finding a small hole somewhere near the roof of the house. Some squirrels might get in via the basement of your house and then make their way up to the walls and the attic. They can easily scurry up a wall like the same way they can scamper up on a tree.

If there are squirrels present on your house wall and attic, you can hear chewing, clawing and running in the ceilings, floors and walls, often. When you intend to find out their place of living inside your house, you will also get to know about the leftovers of nuts and their other favorite food all spread inside the wall or in the attic.

Squirrel catching is never an easy job, however while the intruder has hidden within a wall, capturing it becomes very difficult.

Squirrels will generally tend to dwell in homes to raise their families. You can find lots of young ones in close proximity, when you intend to catch an adult, especially during winter or late summer.

If you get to catch the mother squirrel prior to the baby ones maturing, they might die inside your walls, which will again create a very bad scent that you will never be able to get rid of.

If you wish to get rid of a squirrel, prior to calling a professional to handle the situation, then you need to utilize a live trap that has been designed particularly to catch squirrels. You can opt to buy one or even rent. But you need to ensure that you are allowed to trap an animal of this kind in your locality, before you get into the process of trapping the squirrel. Most of the traps will have instructions that you need to follow, in order to effectively capture the animal.

First you need to observer the way used buy the intruder to get in and move out of your house looking for food. You then need to put the trap in a surface that is stable enough, close to your entrance. Never hang or dangle the trap.

Once you catch hold of the squirrel, relocate it somewhere far away from your place and then seal all the entries that you believe to be possible entries for squirrels and other creatures to get into your house.
