Squirrel Control & Removal Steps
Closing Entry Points
Since squirrels use too many points to enter your attic, we begin with shutting all of these primary vulnerable areas. We also identify secondary entry points that squirrels may use to enter if they smell danger from the main entryway.
Since ours is a humane approach to squirrel removal in Syracuse NY, we focus on controlling the squirrel population without harming them. We prefer to fasten a live cage over the primary entryway, so the entire family of squirrels enters the cage easily. This is meant to allow an entire family to leave the property, so the mother squirrel will leave the attic with her babies.
Attic Decontamination Fogging Treatment
At Rodent Control Now, we believe that animal removal is not complete unless the vulnerable area is decontaminated. Our focus is on breaking down squirrel urine and feces and kill any insects that might have been brought into your property by squirrels or attracted to their waste.

This includes urine, feces, nesting sites, and debris created by these tiny creatures. We will also perform fogging treatment in the attic to sanitize the area.
Attic restoration
We leave no vulnerable space for squirrels to re-enter your space. So we believe in doing complete inspection and restoration to find where squirrels have chewed upon. The goal is to locate any electrical wiring or air conditioning ductwork vulnerable to infestation. The inspection helps us find any more damage caused by squirrel infestation. Squirrels can chew through metal and even the thickest wood to infiltrate your space. These cautious creatures are highly clever in avoiding traps.
Unfortunately, squirrel infestation not only makes it tough to live with these creatures in your attic but also exposes your property to a fire risk. Remember, squirrels chew cables. If they chew a wire, it exposes copper in the cable, making it an extreme fire hazard.
