Any recommendations for a company that can remove a squirrel in my attic? I just figured out what the noise I was hearing occasionally was

Went up there this morning and a huge squirrel came down from the master bedroom trey ceiling framing, stood on top of a box and asked me why I was in HIS attic

Wife says I can't trap it myself, worried I will get bitten blah blah blah

Of course it's a full on war now.

Any feedback on wildlife removal companies would be great

We had a possum under the house in crawl space.Went to animal control, got a trap, asked what they ate, next morning GOT HIM. They came and picked it up. CHEAP ! I don't know about squirrels though.

Buy a trap. It will be much cheaper. Just make sure you find where's he's coming in and block it up.

Yes, buy a trap as another poster stated....set it up with something like peanut butter...put it in the attic....wha la.....caged squirrel!! My husband did that, and then transported the squirrel across town. Sure hope he/she wasn't ours, as he/she was making our home look like swiss cheese!!

We wanted a humane squirrel prevention method so put a high powered strobe light made specifically for rodent control in the attic. Plugged it in every evening at dusk for about a month. They left and never came back and we knew not one was 'disposed' of. I think we bought it from Amazon. This was a couple of yrs ago. We did eventually have a roofer find and repair the apparent way in.

Removed For advertising? I told the OP publicly what we charge for that type of work. I NEVER gave a company name, phone number or sent a private message. And my screen name is nothing related to the company or the name.

Please tell me how I violated your rules.
