How to Catch a Squirrel in Your House
A squirrel can enter your house through almost any opening, from air vents to chimneys, which is how they usually get in. Once inside your home, you may notice signs of their presence like scratching, running, or gnawing. Depending on their activity level, they may even leave droppings behind. However, it is important to remember that squirrels do not generally attack people and will not try to bite or scratch you.
Squirrels are best kept in dark, enclosed spaces. To make it harder for them to get in, try closing all windows and doors. If you find that the squirrels are still in your house, open the window closest to the greenery. Once you have caught the squirrel, you can take it to the nearest wildlife sanctuary to get rid of it. If you cannot catch the squirrel yourself, consider hiring a professional pest control company to do the job for you.
How to Set a Trap to Capture a Squirrel
The first thing to do is to set up a trap that will capture the squirrel. Once you’ve caught the squirrel, you must keep it in an enclosed room or make sure it has a path out. It can exit the room through a window or front door, but it will not stay for long. You need to set a trap that will catch the critter so it doesn’t escape.
