Squirrels are the most commonly seen mammal in Florida. They jump from trees to the rooftops of all the homes in Tampa. When homeowners hear noises in the attic, the first guess is squirrels are inside the attic. And they are often correct. Mother squirrels love to use attics to nest and raise their litter. Squirrel activity creates running, scratching, and chewing noises from the ceiling and makes an attic filled with soiled insulation. Worse, their inherant rodent gnawing (just like rats) puts all structures at risk. Electrical wires, plumbing, and AC ducts are all at risk when squirrels are in the attic.

I remember a time when I thought that squirrels were adorable. I would watch in fascination as they darted about in the fall leaves, gathering nuts and berries for the impending winter. And then...one found its way into our attic. And then another. And another. We tried many methods to get rid of the squirrels in our attic, from sound generation devices to fox urine, but here is what worked for us in the end.

Step 1: Find where the squirrels are entering the attic. Although this may seem at first to be an easy task, it usually isn't. Squirrels can enter any hole in the attic the size of their skull. They simply squeeze their body in to follow. Make sure that the squirrels have left the attic for the day prior to boarding up any holes. Walk around the attic and the outside of the house with a flashlight, checking roof line edges, gable joiners, and under the eaves. When a hole is located, block it off with either wood or reinforced steel mesh. Window screen is useless as the squirrels will chew through it like paper.

Step 2: Remove any traces of squirrel activity in the attic. Look in the attic for squirrel feces, shredded insulation, or nut stores. Wearing a safety mask and gloves, shovel out any squirrel detritus into a garbage bag and tie securely. Spray a solution of 1 tablespoon bleach to 1 quart water mixed in a spray bottle around the areas where there was squirrel activity. Do not over-wet the insulation if exposed.
