Squirrel Crying In Attic

They often build their nests near openings such as an unscreened vent or loose or rotten trim boards.

Squirrel crying in attic.

One obvious sign is the sound of baby squirrels crying as they tend to do when they get hungry. Turn the radio to a talk station so the sound of human voices fills the attic. Those baby squirrels while harmless won t be able to move on their own for 6 to 8 weeks. Squirrels living in attics are a concern because they may gnaw on boards and electrical wires.

To prevent this drive the squirrels out as soon as they make themselves known before they can give birth or set up shop. If you find the nest put the radio as close as you can to the nest. If you seal up the final entry point when the adult squirrel leaves while the baby squirrels are still in the attic or walls they will need to be removed by a pest management professional dead or alive. Disturb the squirrels with a loud radio placed in your attic.

Usually the most serious problems come from nesting adult females. Once a nest is built maybe as it s being built they re going to have babies.
