A CALL TO ACTION!
Most People Do NOT Realize That Squirrels in Attics CHEW ATTIC WIRES:
The Word "Rodent" Comes From the Word "Rodere" - "TO GNAW"
SQUIRRELS ARE RODENTS
Squirrels front teeth grow up to a half a foot in length in a year.
Attic Squirrels have to Chew and Gnaw Constantly to keep their teeth's' length in check.
If the Squirrels' teeth grow too long the attic squirrels will be unable to eat and thus starve to death.
Squirrels even grind their teeth in their sleep.
According to statistic from the US Fire Administration (a part of the Department of Homeland Security) - Approximately 15,000 Residential Fires are caused each year by rodents, such as Rats, Squirrels (squirrels are rodents too) and mice living in the walls and attic, chewing on wiring. A failure to get rid of squirrels in your attic could cost you your home - and even your life.
Do Not Let Squirrels Which Get in Your Attic:

Become This:
As a result of this constant need to chew twenty-five percent of fires of “unknown cause” are attributed to rodents, such as Squirrels, chewing on electrical wires in attics. A lack of Squirrel Control which will get rid of the squirrels could lead to your house catching fire - sometimes in the middle of the night.

If you want to know how to Get Rid of Squirrels in the Attic the solution is something many people have never heard of:
High Intensity Squirrel Control Strobe Lights:
A squirrel control strobe light in an attic space use to get rid of squirrels in the attic. The flash last only 1/30th of a second.
And Flashes 70-90 times per minute.
The constant high intensity Flash! - Flash! - Flash! - Flash! Will Get Rid of Squirrels in Attic!
The High Intensity Get Rid of Squirrels in the Attic Rodent Strobe Light pictured uses only 4.8 watts of electricity - about the same as the average night light. This strobe covers a maximum of 900 sq .ft. (30X30) of space/area. For a greater "shock and awe" type of effect to get rid of squirrels in an attic 500 sq. ft. (25X25) of coverage gives the maximum get rid of squirrels in attic effect.
How it Will Get Rid of Squirrels in Attic:
The ciliary muscle in the eyes' of attic squirrels controls the expansion and contraction of the squirrels' pupils. The usual adjustments made by this muscle in the eyes of squirrels are small. In response to the strobes in a dark (naturally dark or becomes dark at night) environment this muscle has to make dramatic adjustments (140-180 times per minute). An ophthalmologist I spoke to, at a world-renowned clinic in Scottsdale AZ, likened it to this: Imagine you lift a ten pound dumbbell weight one time. Then imagine that you lifted the same weight 1,500 times in a ten minute period. Your arm would be hurting for days. The ophthalmologist said the strobes would have the same effect on rodent (and other animal pests’) eyes. RESULT: YOU GET RID OF SQUIRRELS IN ATTIC FOR GOOD!.

Her "They Ran The Squirrels Out" Testimony:
"I have had problems with squirrels getting in my attic for about ten years. The noise they made bothered me and I hated the holes they made in my house. I called a nationwide pest control service and they gave me the name of a man who would come out and trap the squirrels. The man charged me $250.00. I hired him two different times but did not notice a difference. Then I had the strobe lights installed. They work. They ran the squirrels out". (This testimony was emailed to Rodent Strobe Inc. 10 months after the strobes were installed.)

An Attic Squirrel's Motto:
"There's No Place Like Home / Your Attic"
Squirrel Trapping to Get Rid of Squirrels in Attic and the Homing Behavior of Attic Squirrels.
80% of attic squirrels that are trapped in live squirrel traps and released within two miles will return to your their home.
This returning attic squirrels percentage drops with each mile that the attic squirrels are taken from the capture site. At a 5 to 7 mile range a significant, but reduced, number of trapped and released attic squirrels still get back to the capture site. In University and private field experiments approximately 5% of trapped and released attic squirrels returned from as far a 10 to 12 miles from where the squirrels were caught in live squirrel traps. One squirrel trapped and transported about twenty-five miles away from the squirrel trap site was able to get back to its home in an attic.
In the two experiments, from which the figures were taken, over one hundred individual attic squirrels were trapped and released. One squirrel trapping and homing behavior study was conducted by the University Of Connecticut. The other squirrel trapping and homing behavior study was conducted by a large pest control company over a 3 year time period. In each case the trapped attic squirrels were caught in live squirrel traps and transported with extra attention paid to the prevention of the squirrels having visual cues along the traveled paths aka. the attic squirrels could not see where they were going. This was done because attic squirrels that are trapped and then can see along the route to their release site almost always find there way back. Hey, attic squirrels can turn left at the park and then right at the grocery store too.
Still if the attic squirrels can't see the relocation route - how do the squirrels get back to your attic? One study by University of Laval in Quebec, Canada found that red squirrels, when released from the squirrel traps, had a basic sense of the direction which they needed to travel to get back to the place where they were trapped. But, the trapped and released squirrels did not seem to have any knowledge of how far they were from the place where the squirrel traps were set and the squirrels were captured. Seventeen squirrels were trapped and released in this squirrel trap and release homing behavior study. This squirrel trapping study concluded that the squirrels use two strategies to return the the site where the squirrels were trapped. The first is the squirrels natural sense of direction orientation. The second was the exploratory trips the squirrels made toward the place where the squirrel traps were placed and the squirrels were captured. Since the squirrels did not get to see the travel route form the squirrel trap placement to the release sites how did they find their way back home if they had no visual cues by which to orient themselves? Was it a re-adjusting of their innate sense of direction or their keen sense of smell that enable the squirrels to pick of the pheromones of familiar squirrels? In another study done on a different member of the rodent family suggest that visual cues or a lack of them may not be the only mechanism of squirrels' homing behavior. In this other rodent homing study the mice (cousins of squirrels) were live trapped. Half of the mice were then blinded. The blind mice were able to get back to the place where they were trapped equal to the seeing mice. This study was repeated / replicated ten times with a new set of mice each time and the blind mice found their way home just as well as the seeing mice each time. Are you still thinking about using squirrel traps to solve your attic squirrels problem? Are you still thinking about using squirrel traps to solve your attic squirrels problem? Are you still thinking about using squirrel traps to solve your attic squirrels problem? Sorry for repeating myself - but squirrel traps can put you into a repetitive cycle also. And if you hire a professional squirrel trapper the costs very often get repetitive too.
The preponderance of the returning attic squirrels in most squirrel tarp studies are males squirrels. Within a 2 mile range this male to female returning squirrels ratio was not as pronounced. Closer to, and up to, the 2 mile range most of the returning, trapped and released squirrels were males squirrels. After 2 miles the number of trapped and returning female squirrels dropped significantly. The two squirrel trapping experiments were performed in opposing seasons. The University of Connecticut experiment was conducted in the middle of winter. The pest control company's experiment was conducted over three consecutive summers. The term of the pest control company's experiment would have covered the period during which the female squirrels would have had nursing/blind baby squirrels in their attic nests. Again, few of these female squirrels returned to their nesting sites to care for their baby squirrels if they were carried more than 2 miles away from the live squirrel trap site. This usually just means more money for the professional squirrel trappers as they have to return to your attic to rescue the baby squirrels or even worse have to "fish out" the rotting dead baby squirrels form your attic or walls.
In the University of Connecticut experiment the trapped squirrels were individually identified and marked by toe clippings and then released. The squirrels that returned to the capture site were recaptured and taken a greater distance away and still half of them returned - all of theses second trip squirrels were male squirrels.
Very little is known about the internal mechanisms of a squirrel's homing ability. Other rodents also show the same abilities. In one experiment of the homing abilities of mice almost all of the trapped and release mice returned to their nesting areas when taken and release up to 2 miles away.
In each of these squirrel trapping experiments the miles measured were in straight lines ("as a bird flies"). In the pest control company's experiments the mileage was measured also in a straight line but in some cases the additional precaution of traveling in a zig-zag pattern was used and this additional measure did not seem to confound the squirrels innate homing abilities. Again, 'There's no place like home" - even for squirrels in the attic.
The Reason Squirrels Return to Your Attic? - NUTS!
Squirrels spend a good deal of their time foraging for their food. Squirrels will scent mark and bury thousands of acorns to see themselves through the winter. Imagine if you had all your winters food stored in one place. Imagine that you spent a great deal of your time protecting your territory and food hidden on it. Ever heard of a Fort?, Castle?, Bank Vault? And imagine that your saved stores could last for two years. And someone kidnapped you and took you far away from your home and its food. I'd get back too! And if you don't get back? Other attic squirrels will scent out your hidden food stores and move right into the attic.
The Get Rid of Squirrels in Attic Long Term Solution:
With pest control strobe lights to get rid of squirrels in attic these problems are addressed. First, we have found that if squirrels or rats are living in a house wall that the attic squirrels or attic rats access through an attic space that is protected by a high intensity strobe that the attic squirrels or attic rats will give up going to their nesting area in the wall. It just is not worth it to the squirrels or rats in your attic and walls - see Rodent Strobe's How It Works to Get Rid of Squirrels in Attic page.
Second, Attic squirrels and attic rats are good mothers. If their young are in what the rodent mother deems an "unsafe" attic she will move them to another place that she sees as safe. We recommend that a person using our pest control strobe lights to get rid of squirrels in the attic simply turn off the strobes for a few hours at a time during the first few days to allow the mother squirrels to move their young squirrels from the attic. Then when all the attic squirrels, attic rats, raccoons, etc., are gone from your attic - turn on the strobes and leave them on. Attic Squirrels Problem solved! No dead, rotting squirrels or rats in the attic. No dead or sick family pets from chewing on a poisoned attic squirrel. No repeating and repeating the trapping squirrels in the attic, or trapping rats in the attic nightmare.
The most busy foraging time for the squirrels that live in your attic is the fall. As the fall season advances the squirrels spend a greater percentage of their time foraging and hiding their winter food supplies. The attic squirrel's typical behavior is to carry a nuts, such as an acorns or pecans, about fifty feet from the trees from which they are gathered and then the squirrels pretend to bury the nuts. Yes you read right - squirrels are smart. We humans protect our money with passwords and pin codes. Attic squirrels protect their food stores by pretending to bury them as many as three times. The squirrels will dig a hole. Then the squirrels will pretend to put the nuts in the holes. The squirrels cover the holes with leaves and dirt and repeat this process. And, if squirrels see that they are being watched the attic squirrels will then repeat this process with the same nuts for several days. The squirrels will dig up their buried acorns and relocate each nut with the same deceptive behavior for each nut. Then after a full day of foraging and hiding their winter stores the attic squirrels will get back to their nests in your attic at dusk and will be a happy squirrels in the attic - with food stores in your yard. Researchers have even dug around areas where squirrels has buried nuts in the sight of the squirrels and the squirrels will then multiply their deceptive tactics in order to protect their winter food.
Squirrels are very territorial, especially the male attic squirrels. This makes squirrel control via trapping attic squirrels very difficult. If a male squirrel is caught in a cage squirrel trap and released into an area with other male squirrels which are protecting their nut stores the live trapped and relocated attic squirrel is chased away. Attic Squirrel Control by other attic squirrels! This is another reason why the preponderance of squirrels that are caught in a squirrel trap that get back to their capture sight are males. Females are more readily accepted into a new squirrel community especially by the male attic squirrels in the area. Squirrel trapping professionals love this because you will be calling them back to fish dead baby squirrels out of a wall because their mother has been trapped and relocated in another neighborhood and have been accepted by the dominate male squirrels in that area. I talked to one pest professional who owns a rather large pest control company which is back-logged, for at least a month, with squirrel control work setting squirrel traps and house sealing in the months from October to May. He told me that by the time he gets through with the added up squirrel trapping and house sealing charges to the typical house it averages from $1,200 - 2,600 per home to get rid of the squirrels. And according to people I know who used this company - the squirrels or other squirrels are back in the attic in just a few months - at the most! I know of one lady who sold her house and moved because she was tried of spending, what added up to thousands of dollars, to try and get rid of the squirrels in her attic for good. Squirrel Control can be expensive! And, if the pest professional who trapped the squirrel in the attic releases the squirrel within 2 miles of your attic (and according to pest control inspectors most do) the squirrel 80% of the time will make it back to your attic within about 2 weeks.

Hello Kevin,
Thank you for all your help and information with the squirrel problem in my attic. I received the dual strobe kit on 4-21-10; 9AM(2 days as you said) and promptly installed the lights, which took less than an hour. The installation was simple ... .
The five squirrels I saw playing on the roof the previous afternoon were "not at home" during the installation so I periodically checked the outside during that afternoon. About 4:30PM I saw one squirrel peering into one of the three entrances. Just as in the video, it would look in - back out - look in - try again; finally, giving up, scurried up and over the ridge of the roof not to be seen again.
I was excited to see the positive results so quickly but had a sinking feeling the next morning as I saw two more agitated squirrels near another entrance and after a brief pause they went into the soffit area. I did not observe them exit but, upon inspection, there was no evidence of them actually being in the attic area.
I can only conclude that they immediately exited from another location since I have not seen any further activity in the two weeks since the installation. Later, after a more detailed inspection of the nesting area I did find one electrical cable that had been gnawed to the point that the copper was visible on all three wires! This could have been real trouble if they were there for much longer.
Your quality strobes were promptly delivered, are easy to install, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, work as advertised! I feel fortunate to have seen your ad online and have told several people about my experience; they are as impressed as I was. Feel free to share this experience with others.
Thanks again,

Used Squirrel Control Strobe Lights to Get Rid of Squirrels in Attic
Dear Kevin, I purchased two Rodent Strobes from you in December. I immediately put them in my attic, and the results are astounding. Within days, the squirrels who had ruined many personal items plus chewed the insulation from my A/C ducting were gone. I still hear an occasional squirrel in the attic, but they do not leave any droppings or damage. I do not turn off the strobes at all. I live in an area with huge oak trees, and many other critters. I feel Rodent Strobe is without a doubt the ONLY way to get rid of squirrels in attics once and for all. I had spent a small fortune on repellents and other things that did not work. Now, I feel safe knowing that Rodent Strobe is protecting my attic, my belongings, and my electrical wiring. Squirrels who venture in the attic never stay long, and that is what I want. To say I am pleased with your product is an understatement. I have recommended Rodent Strobe to others, but they are trying to do things the "cheap" way with those repellents, which do NOT work. I once saw squirrels walking around in the repellent I used to use!!!
Even though everyone has seen the results I obtained, there are still the skeptics. Rodent Strobe is the most effective, humane way to control squirrel attic infestation I have ever seen. The strobe light makes common sense...make the attic a miserable place for them, and the squirrels will go elsewhere. Again, words cannot my express my total satisfaction with Rodent Strobe. Feel free to use my letter as a testimonial to an outstanding product that does what it promises.
Sincerely,
David Parsons

"Kevin, I just wanted to let you know that the rodent strobes we purchased for our fire station have worked perfectly. We have a station located in the middle of the Everglades and had a severe rodent infestation problem which resulted in $10,000 dollars in damages. We installed the rodent strobes and have had no infestation since. Thanks for a great product!" (This testimony was emailed to Rodent Strobe Inc. 10 months after the strobes were installed.)

Used Squirrel Control Strobe Lights to Get Rid of Rats
"I ordered some of your strobes on 4/15/09. (this email's date 6/1/09) I must say, I am SO delighted! I could hear the monster squirrels in my attic, chewing chewing, playing, Lord knows what. Every morning I awoke to the sounds of their party. Tried trapping, and yes, even poison too, before I knew it was illegal to poison. Anyhow, they never ate it, and I never caught a thing in my traps smeared with peanut butter. I even hired a guy to take care of it.....and still, the evil squirrels remained in complete control of my attic space. After 4 months of fighting the infestation, I was literally in tears and did not know what to do. I'm widowed, and couldn't afford thousands of $$$ in repair bills and pest control companies. I spoke with you, and ordered 3 lights. The day after I installed, the sound stopped. The next day after the sound stopped, I awoke to sound and activity over my bed (that was their spot, right over where I sleep!) and I thought "OH NO, the lights are not working!" However, after I listened for a few seconds, I realized it was a "different" sound than their normal sound. It was a very ANGRY sound. The squirrel, or squirrels making it were simply furious, the excessive chattering was very intense and angry. I did not hear so much scrambling and playing, as angry, angry chattering. It lasted for two days. After two days, I never heard another sound--they apparently gave up and left. I was delighted they were so angry, because they'd been making me angry for months!!! Oh, hallelujah!!!!! I never even bothered to call the handyman back to check again for holes (which the monsters had literally CHEWED into my house near the chimney to gain access!!!), just left the light flashing in my attic. I just want to say THANK YOU THANK YOU for such a wonderful, useful product!! It's really saved my bacon!"

When Rodent Strobe asked T. B. in Flower Mound, Texas for permission to use this email on our testimonies page she responded on 8/27/09(4 months after the strobes were installed.):
"Kevin: By all means, yes, use the testimony. I am so delighted with this product, I tell everybody about it. It remains one of the best things I have ever bought. And the light still up there flashing away, not a squirrel, not a rat to be heard. One thing tho....when I got a lightning hit awhile back that fried my air conditioner unit, cable/internet, and phone lines, the HVAC guy and the insurance guy......and the cable guy.....and the phone guy....were all pretty freaked out when they went into my attic to assess the situation. Particularly the HVAC guy -- after I'd told him the lightning messed up my AC, and he opened the attic door to all this flashing when he went up there to check it. He jumped back and exclaimed 'WHAT IS THAT????" har de har har. Guess he thought it was the 220 volt cable that broke loose and dancing around, maybe. And I explained to him it was my squirrel chaser off-er, and he says skeptically "And that REALLY worked for you on the squirrels???", and I said 'YOU BETCHA, I wouldn't trade it for nuthin'!"

Used Squirrel Control Strobe Lights to Get Rid of Squirrels in Her Attic
This might be a good time to mention that Rodent Strobe's High Intensity Pest Control Strobes have built-in surge protection.
25% of house fires of "unknown cause" are attributed to Rodents, such as Squirrels, chewing on attic wires.
Learn why it is so important to get rid of squirrels in the attic:
The word “rodent” derives from the Latin verb rodere (to gnaw). Rodents, like Attic Squirrels, are constantly chewing on wood and wiring because the squirrels' front teeth are continually growing. For instance, the grey squirrel’s front teeth grow a half a foot in length each year. Squirrels have to chew / gnaw constantly to keep their teeth’s length under control otherwise the squirrels' teeth would get too long - making the Squirrels unable to eat and thereby the squirrels would eventually starve to death.
According to the United States Fire Administration, a residential / house fire happens every 79 seconds. There are usually about 50,000 – 60,000 residential fires of “unknown cause” each year in the US. The Department of Homeland Security estimates that they receive reports from fire departments on only half of the actual number of fires that occur annually. This means that the number of fires of “unknown cause” annually could be twice the 50 to 60 thousand average. That is possibly reaching up to 120,000 fires of “unknown cause” annually in the US as a result of a failure to get rid of rodents such as squirrels. Keep in mind that 25% of these fires are attributed to Squirrels in the attic, Roof Rats and Mice chewing on wiring in the attic. Based on government statistics and statements made by government authorities, the number of residential house fires cause by the failure to get rid of Attic Squirrels, Roof Rats / Attic Rats, Norway Rats and Mice are approximately 15,000 fires each year and could be as high as 30,000 fires. If you have squirrels in your attic – you probably also have wire damage caused by the squirrels in your attic.
LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW HIGH INTENSITY PEST CONTROL STROBE LIGHTS CAN GET RID OF SQUIRRELS IN THE ATTIC FOR GOOD!:
Knowledge is the key - to get rid of squirrels in the attic.
Where are the places that squirrels will get in to my attic?
Squirrels will get into an attic by chewing access holes under shingles.
Squirrels get will into an attic by:
chewing the wood of attic louvered vents just enough to get under and in - notice how the damage caused by the squirrels getting into the attic has been painted over.
This is a near-by house where squirrels would get in through the attic vents-
with multiple gnawed vent boards chewed by squirrels so they could get into the attic.
This utility power line (just across the street from the two homes pictured above) -
was chewed every day by a squirrel.
Squirrels like to get into an attic by:
chewing just below the shingles at the top of fascia boards.
Want to get rid of squirrels that are getting into your attic? Then -
you should not underestimate the climbing abilities of squirrels in their attempts to get into your attic.
The squirrels chewed louvered vents - chewed from the outside by the squirrels.
I have seen squirrels climb brick and board walls with ease to get into an attic.
Squirrels like to get in attics at corners which -
enable the squirrels to get a better grip while chewing their way into the attic.
This is a magnified photo of the above squirrels' access hole. Notice how it had been screened over with wire mesh to get rid of the attic squirrels? - BUT - the squirrels gnawed and pulled on the hard wire mesh until they were able to get rid of this obstacle and get back into THEIR ATTIC!
This more clearly shows the bent back areas where the squirrels worked hard to get rid of this obstacle by chewing and bending until the metal wire mesh broke off allowing the squirrels to get back into the attic.
Even Metal Flashing(sheets) will not get rid of squirrels that are determined to get back into THEIR attic.
The metal flashing was bitten, chewed, pulled and ripped by the squirrels that wanted to get back into this attic.
House sealing is NOT a long term solution to get rid of squirrels in the attic.
Trying to get rid of squirrels by means of wolf urine, coyote urine, fox urine, predator urine, or scents? Will these get rid of squirrels in the attic?
Why shake out your hard earned money on odor repellents, that the academic pest experts say do not get rid of squirrels?
I have been there and done that. I can tell you from personal experience that this does not get rid of squirrels for long - In my case it did not get rid of the squirrels at all. Anyway, I do not want more urine odor in my attic. Enough is enough. Oh! (But the web sites say) this will scare away the pest because the rat, mouse, mice, squirrels, raccoon will smell the predator urine and it will be frightened away. Please do not waste your hard earned money on these products. Too many people do.
Here's Something Else to Think About Before You Try Fox Urine to Get Rid of Squirrels in the Attic:
The MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for one of these products lists fox urine as a main ingredient. Where is all this dried fox urine coming from? Are there fox port-a-potties placed in the forest? It takes a lot of fox urine to produce these products. Where is it coming from? The largest source of fox urine on the market is supplied by the fur trade industry. Hundreds of foxes in cages with trays beneath each cage to collect the marketable urine. Do you want to purchase a product that does not give long term results? Do you want your money going to support the fur trade industry?
There is a restaurant with a large Paul Bunyan statue in the parking lot with a huge axe in his hands. Is this frightening away the humans?
Ever seen a picture of a scarecrow out in a field with a bird sitting on it? – I have. Take my advice and don’t waste your money on a
plastic owl to get rid of squirrels – unless all you want is one or two days of being able to get rid of squirrels until the squirrels figure out it’s not real. Plastic Owls to get rid of squirrels in my attic? - Not (REAL)ly.
WHOOOO can get rid of squirrels in my attic? - Owls are a natural way to get rid of squirrels living in the attic. Just two Barn Owls can get rid of up to 2,000 rodents (squirrels are rodents) a year. Owls are nature's own pest control to get rid of squirrels in attic. Owls usually do not build their own nest - instead they take up residence in the abandoned nest of falcons and hawks. A good way to get rid of attic squirrels naturally is to attract owls to your yard. An Owl Box on your property can cause owls searching for a new home to take up residence and get busy at the job of getting rid of the squirrels that nest in your attic. Get Owls and get rid of squirrels in the attic naturally. Owls are nature's way to get rid of squirrels in attic.
Hawks and Falcons are a good way to get rid of squirrels in attic. An Owl Box can also be used by Falcons or Hawks. Hawks and Falcons are also nature's pest control to get rid of squirrels. An Owl Box on your property can be a good way to get Falcons and Hawks to take up residence and also get busy at the job of getting rid of the squirrels. Get Falcons and get Hawks and get rid of attic squirrels naturally. Falcons and Hawks are also a good way to get rid of squirrels in attic. Owls will get rid of attic squirrels and will get rid of attic rats in the evening and morning hours. Then like nature's shift change - Hawks and Falcons will get rid of squirrels that nest in the attic and get rid of attic rats during the day. It is a 24 hours nature's pest control service to get rid of attic squirrels and to get rid of attic rats.
Get rid of the squirrels feeding in your garden and you move a step closer to being able to get rid of squirrels that are living in your attic. I once asked a Master Gardener how to get rid of rabbits that were feeding on a turf area. Rabbits, like squirrels, are rodents and what will work to get rid of rabbits - also work to get rid of squirrels that are feeding on your garden and living in your attic. The Master Gardener was really a master gardener - one of his jobs included taking care of the turf on a major league baseball team's stadium field. The master gardener told me "blood meal will get rid of the rabbits". Rabbits and Squirrels are prey of coyotes, foxes, cats, etc. Predator urine will not get rid of the squirrels and rabbits for long - but blood meal will and it is good for your garden. Blood Meal is available from most garden centers and is a commonly used fertilizer. Now, Blood meal is just what it sounds like - it is dried / powdered blood from the processing of beef and it is one of the most used natural fertilizers around. Rabbits and squirrels will get away from a place in which the dirt smells like blood - the squirrels do not want to "get it" next. Blood meal - to get rid of squirrels in the garden before they get into your attic - experts say it works.
This will work for a couple of days to get rid of squirrels in attic - but that is about all. I know people who regularly sleep with a radio or television on all night - with the volume up.
When I asked how they could sleep with such noise they respond “Oh, I’m used to it”. The squirrels that nest in your attic will get used to the noise too. No one likes to get kicked
out of their bed – squirrels are no exception. A radio in the attic to get rid of squirrels in my attic? - No.
Mint Oil / Peppermint Oil - to Get Rid of Squirrels in My Attic?Will Mint Oil / Peppermint Oil Get Rid of Squirrels living in my attic? I recently spoke to a man who is using mint oil / peppermint oil in an attempt to try and get rid of rodents (Squirrels are rodents) in an attic in Memphis, TN. I asked him how it was going - He response was "OK" and then continued "The only problem is that I am having to spray the attic with the mint oil about every three weeks". He added that he had to re-spray so often because the smell of the mint oil did not last very long. Needless to say he was a little fatigued of spraying the attic with the mint oil to try and get rid of the rodents. This can become an expensive way to get rid of squirrels and to get rid of rats. A one ounce bottle of mint oil / peppermint oil can cost $25 to $30 - that could get expensive if you mixed the mint oil with water and sprayed your attic every couple weeks to get rid of the squirrels. Mint oil / peppermint oil to get rid of squirrels in my attic? - No thanks!
Pellet Guns - to get Rid of Squirrels Getting into my attic?
Something to think about first - What if you just wound the squirrels and the squirrels get to their nest – IN YOUR ATTIC – and die? Or -the squirrels have baby squirrels in a nest in the attic or in your house walls? Well, happy smells to you Annie Oakley. Also, in many towns and cities this is an illegal way to get rid of attic squirrels.
Pumpkins to get rid of squirrels in attic? - too seasonal.
Attic Squirrels get rid of pumpkins through pre-emptive strikes.
This is a way to get rid of squirrels that nest in your attic - ONLY, there are several considerations. Be careful for your fingers – if it can snap a mouse’s spine it can certainly break
a finger. Children can get hurt. Family pets could get hurt. Emergency rooms - too expensive.
Rat traps are meant for rodents that are smaller than attic squirrels. Trying to get rid of squirrels by this method could mean attic squirrels caught in these could suffer for hours. A large squirrel might possibly have to be killed while still caught in the trap. Pest control textbooks recommend attaching snap traps to a larger board so a larger wounded animal caught in a trap doesn’t drag it elsewhere where it will die and smell and be hard to retrieve. I have seen a squirrel in an attic that caught a back foot in a snap trap. The squirrel had retreated with the snap trap attached to its back foot into an inner house wall and became caught between the attic wall and the open attic area because the snap trap attached to its broken and twisted foot would not fit back through the space between the wall and the attic. This animal would have suffered and died in the wall and would have rotted and smelled had it not been found and removed.
If you use a rat trap, or a squirrel trap that is designed to kill the pest - what if it has babies living in the attic or wall spaces of your house? The attic squirrels die and the smell is horrible! Then you have to go through the expense of having a pest control professional crawling through your attic and possibly cutting into your walls to remove the dead litter of baby squirrels. But with Rodent Strobe if the strobes are turned off for short periods of time (several hours) during the first few days - squirrel has a chance to remove its young and the whole family leaves. This is squirrel control that does not leave a rotting dead squirrels in your walls or attic. This is truly the best way to get rid of attic squirrels in the attic.
Pest control textbooks give guidelines on disposal of trapped and killed or injured squirrels. Warnings are made that a wounded squirrels can be dangerous. Dead squirrels can carry diseases so wear the proper protective equipment. It is recommended that the dead squirrels be sprayed thoroughly with a clorox and water solution before removal and disposal. Also be aware that the dead squirrels may have fleas that have been feeding on its blood and if one of its fleas bites you then you could get infected with a pathogen. Lyme disease, a disease that was once thought only to be in deer ticks, has now been found in fleas. The “black death” was spread by fleas on roof rats. Ground squirrels in the South Western US have tested positive for the "black death" aka. plague in the past ten years.
The use of moth balls in an attic to get rid of squirrels in the attic is against the law in all 50 states. If you use moth balls in the attic to get rid of squirrels in the attic or any other vertebrate pest or even suggest their use to someone you are committing, at least a misdemeanor, and even a felony in many states. If you are thinking about using Moth balls to get rid of squirrels in the attic then you need to be advised that - Moth balls are toxic to humans and pets. Most moth balls are produced from naphthalene which is derived from coal tar. The gaseous vapors
emitted from moth balls are heavier than air and will seep from your attic into the lower levels of your residence – your living areas. Many people will
recommend moth balls to get rid of squirrels in the attic and other pests. In states such as California, Arizona, Florida and New York this seemingly innocent recommendation
is or has been a felony. Moth balls take oxygen out of the air. The purpose of moth balls is to suffocate moths in an enclosed environment. It is similar to running
a car engine in a garage with the garage door closed. Several years ago a friend of mine had a yard man tell her to put moth balls in her attic to get rid of her problem with squirrels. It worked for a while but the amount of moth balls she had to put in the attic spaces to get rid of the squirrels made her house stink of moth
balls. My friend could not smell the moth balls after several days, but everyone who entered her house was over-whelmed by the smell of the mothballs. I have asthma
and while visiting her house it greatly irritated my asthma. Two years later the lower places in her house, such as bathroom cabinets, linen closets, etc. still
smells of the moth balls. Many people who make this common mistake spend years trying to get the moth ball smell out of their homes. To this day,
freshly laundered towels that have been placed in my friend's bathroom cabinets soon get the smell of the long removed moth balls. Again, my friend could not smell the
moth balls but all who entered her home could. Same thing with attic squirrels - they will get used to the smell - unless you use so many moth balls
that the toxic vapors are so heavy that the squirrels can’t stay – which means these heavier than air toxic gaseous vapors are seeping down into
your living areas and into your lungs and into your blood stream. Babies that have been wrapped in blankets which were stored with moth
balls have been found to have high levels of naphthalene in their blood streams? Moth balls to get rid of squirrels, been there – smelled that, in most cases it
is illegal and toxic to humans and pets.
Been there, done that too! And, it did not get rid of squirrels or roof rats. I wish I had my money back. That ultrasonic thing was expensive and the owner of the company told me how great it would work.
Yeah buddy. Did you know that several of the leading vertebrate pest specialists - PhD. Professors, experts in the field have tried to get the Federal
Trade Commission to ban ultrasonic pest control devises because they do not work? The Federal Trade Commission has published a warning to all ultrasonic pest repeller manufacturers and retailers. There may be an initial effect but research shows that the pests return and become habituated (get used to the noise). How long do ultrasonics work? Research shows that the repelling effect last for 1-3 days, but after 3-7 days the pests become habituated to the noise and continue living in the space not bothered enough to leave their home. Additional research confirms that ultrasonic pest repellers may have a partial or transitory effect, but have no persistent effectiveness. Most academic researchers urge legislatures and consumers to view ultrasonic pest repellents with skepticism. The New York State Consumer Protection Board cautions against using ultrasonic repellers. In addition to this, contrary to the claims of many ultrasonic pest control device sellers, there is scientific evidence that some of these devices cause hearing loss in pets, most especially dogs . Even the US Army does not approve of ultrasonic pest control devices.
I traveled to San Diego to speak with the vertebrate pest expert who does the pest control products investigations for the Federal Trade Commission. When I told him I had a pest control product that I needed some help in designing container and field experiments for product testing the first thing he asked me (with a look of disgust) was “this isn’t another one of those ultrasonic pest repellers is it? – Those things don’t work”. I am pleased to say that he seemed very impressed with my product, especially when he was in a dark room with my strobe flashing and he was commenting that it was making him dizzy as he moved around the room. Then I observed him try several times to turn on the lights with the wall switch and his hand was meandering around for several seconds before he was able to secure his hand on the switch and turn the lights on. I was one happy camper.
I also asked the FTC pest control device inspector if he could submit a request to the FTC to test my claims that Rodent Strobes do work . How many pest control product manufacturers ask to have their product claims to be investigated by the FTC voluntarily? - Rodent Strobe did! The pest control device inspector did not see a need to ask for an inspection. I guess seeing is believing.
The Grey Squirrel's Latin name - "Sciurus Carolinensis". Grey squirrels usually mate twice each year - first, in the early spring or late winter and then the squirrels mate again in the summer. The mother squirrels will give birth to their young about forty-five days after mating. A squirrel has 4 to 6 baby squirrels per litter. A pair of healthy squirrels could produce a dozen offspring every year. In twelve months the offspring become breeding adults. Each litter of baby squirrels does not leave its mother squirrel's nest for the first 10 to 12 weeks of its life. The baby squirrels are totally dependant on their mother's milk to live. If you have squirrels in the attic there most likely are baby squirrels in your attic 40% of the year. Squirrel trapping or poisoning squirrels could leave baby squirrels up in your attic in a squirrel's nest to die of starvation. Mother squirrels will nest in the safest place they can find to protect her young squirrels. Attics are ideal places for a squirrels nest. The cavities in the your home's walls are many times chosen by nesting attic squirrels - the radiant heat in the winter and the cool air from air conditioning make the interior house walls good nest sites for mother squirrels. These cavities are usually accessed by the squirrels through top of the wall openings in your attic. If you use rat poison or a squirrel trap to try to get rid of squirrels in the attic, then you could be smelling dead, baby squirrels rotting in your attic or walls for weeks. And if you use a rat poison to kill the squirrels, the squirrel will often retreat to its nest in your attic to die and you will be smelling its rotting body for weeks. Often interior walls have to be cut into to remove the dead squirrels. An attic squirrel may nest under attic flooring and the flooring will have to be removed to remove the dead squirrel in the attic. AND PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, THAT IF YOU HEAR SQUIRRELS IN YOUR ATTIC THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, YOU MOST LIKELY HAVE 4 TO 6 BABIES PER EACH MOTHER SQUIRREL IN THE ATTIC 40 to 50% OF THE YEAR. A MOTHER SQUIRREL CAUGHT IN A SQUIRREL TRAP, WHETHER SNAP TRAP OR LIVE TRAPPED, AND CARRIED AWAY - OR - A POISONED SQUIRREL - OR - A SQUIRREL SHOT WITH A PELLET GUN - COULD, 40% TO 50% OF THE YEAR, RESULT IN DEAD YOUNG SQUIRRELS IN YOUR ATTIC OR INTERIOR HOUSE WALLS LEFT TO DECAY AND SMELL.
Rat traps used as squirrel traps. Rat traps are designed for rats - not for attic squirrels! I am speaking of the snap trap variety of rat traps. I have seen a squirrel that was trapped in one of these rat traps and it did not kill the squirrel. The rat trap used as a squirrel trap was placed in an attic by a well meaning husband trying to get rid of his squirrels in the attic. He had placed about a dozen rat traps in a 2,000 square foot attic space. The traps had been up in the attic for seven years! A squirrel ran past one and tripped the rat trap trigger. The rat trap snapped shut on the attic squirrel's foot. Where do you think this injured squirrel with a rat trap attached to its broke leg ran to? It ran to a interior house wall where its nest was. There's no place like home. The squirrel managed to force its broken leg through the wall opening in the attic with the rat trap still attached. But as it tried to leave the interior wall space to go back up into the attic the rat trap used as a squirrel trap became stuck and so was the injured squirrel. Unfortunately the squirrel had to be put down.
If you use a rat trap as a squirrel trap the squirrel will usually not face an immediate death being as the rat traps are not designed to be used as a squirrel trap. The squirrel will definitely suffer and if it is able to move it will often retreat to its squirrel nest in your attic to die and rot and smell.
If you use a rat poison to poison attic squirrels, besides the risk of it or its young squirrels dying in your attic or home's wall, is the risk of a sickened or dead family pet.
Every year there a hundreds of cases of secondary poisonings from a dog or cat chewing on or partially ingesting poisoned rats, mice or squirrels. If a dog or cat finds dead attic squirrels - and they can smell them out, they find what to them is a chew toy and/or an extra meal. As they carry around the dead squirrels in their mouths, as some kind of trophy, they are ingesting the very poisons that killed the squirrels. At the very least, your pet could get sick and sometimes they even die. This death will occur some times because there is often, over time, more than one dead squirrel that they find and the poisons accumulate in the pet's blood stream until it becomes sick and dies, or at least runs up a considerable veterinary bill.
The scent glands of attic squirrels are located in their feet. As the squirrels run to and through you attic they leave little scent road maps for other squirrels to follow to your attic. The pheromones in rodent urine (attic squirrels are rodents) can last up to two years. Tree squirrels love to live in attics. It’s warmer, drier for the squirrels to nest and safer from predators. Unfortunately most attics are not equipped with toilets for the squirrels. But this is not a problem for the squirrels - they will just urinate and defecate all over your attic. And I do mean all over. It is amazing to see an attic where squirrels have been nesting. Raisin sized dung all over the attic and matted down insulation which is stained with and smells of the squirrels urine. It is truly nasty – but not to the squirrels in the attic. The urine and glands in the squirrels’ feet leave pheromone trails which are like a welcome mat or “attic for rent” sign for future squirrels that want to nest in your attic. This is why trapping to get rid of squirrels in the attic, poisoning to get rid of attic squirrels, or house sealing has to be done over and over and over by homeowners at great expense each time and most definitely accumulatively. I know this from past personal experience and so does my pocketbook.
I am now in the pest control industry. I need and have to be familiar with many aspects of the industry to keep my license. In one of the pest control classes I attended, taught by a pest
control inspector, the inspector told us that integrity was a big part of keeping our state license. As part of ensuring this, the inspectors
would “shadow”/observe unawares a pest control operator and before an inspector does a site, chemical, paper work, equipment, and service
vehicle inspection the inspector would often watch the pest operator from a distance without the pest control professional’s knowledge he/she was being
watched/inspected. The inspector teaching the class informed the class that in the vast majority of the times an animal was live trapped at a customer’s residence
or business the animal pest was unethically released within 2 city blocks of where the pest was caught. In this case the captured and released pest would just return to the capture site.
Pest control operators in most states are required to take the pest at least 2 miles away from the capture site before releasing it. The inspector
told the class that our license would be in jeopardy if we were caught doing this unethical catch and release practice.
So - if you hire a pest control company to live trap and/or seal your home or business - what certainty do you have that the pest control employee won’t just let the squirrels out of the live traps just down the street? Again, this was not the exception but the vast majority according to the inspector’s class. And if illegally poison the squirrels (there are no poison registered / approve by the EPA for use on squirrels) or you snap trap the attic squirrels , or glue trap the squirrels to get rid of the squirrels in your attic, – What keeps other squirrels looking for an attic to nest in from following the scent trail to your home or property and nesting in your attic? Rodent Strobes will!

"My attic had a nest of the fury tailed rats living in it. They were chewing on the rafters, they were chewing on the wiring, they even tried to chew on the blades of the exhaust fans. I installed 3 Rodent Strobes and then after a few days I closed the entrance holes and I haven't heard them up there since".
