In the rat world they have a crappy black and white sketch of you on a wanted poster as a serial killer

1). Trap the mess out of them and kill them. Use a mix of live havaheart traps and rat snap traps. Do not release them...anywhere. Use a variety of baits in your traps seeds, peanut butter etc. You can trap outside as well.
2) remove all birds feeders if you have any na dother food sources that may attract them to your house.
3) cut down tree limbs that overhang your house or that touch your home.
4) Seal up all holes and entrance locations...watch for builders gap especially in corners just above and behind your gutters but under the shingles. Use metal screens with screws.
5) Inspect the attic throughly looking for nests and clean them up- vacuum.
6) Do not use poison as the animal or animals can die in your walls and then you have a bigger problem that some scampering at night
7) identify your species, squirrel, rat, or flying squirrel.
PM me and I can give you more help info needed.
There are others on ODT who do this work for a living and can give you good advice.
I have a new resident in the attic.
I have never had a squirrel in the attic and I am not sure what is the best route to take.
I watched a few youtubes and read some articles. I called a few guys about coming to get it and surprisingly it's $300-$400.
Should I try or is it best to bite bullet and pay someone?
Thanx
