Trapping Squirrels and the Damage that they did to my shed

As you can see, some red squirrels were desperate to make a home out of my shed. In fact, they already had made a home out of my shed. At that point, I entered into a constant back and forth. I would seal them out and they would chew their way back in to my shed. They even chewed through the shingles on the roof. You can’t see all the holes in the side of the soffit or underneath it. Where you see the wood boards screwed into the side of the soffit is where several more squirrels holes were. There were more underneath as well.

At this point, it was time to call in a professional. With the help of Dave at A-1 Wildlife Removal, we got rid of all the red squirrels. We did still see one in the other yard but he/she hasn’t ventured over here as of yet.



Trapped and hog-tied, you ain’t going no damn wheres, varmint

If you want to catch a squirrel then put the trap right next to where they are entering your building. And I mean right next to the entrance. Dave didn’t mess around. How about this design? Right next to the entrance.

For all of you worried about the health of the shed, well she’s doin’ just fine, thankyou!
