I trap problem squirrels in the Marshfield, Wisconsin area.
Squirrels are VERY Destructive!
Squirrels are rodents - in the same family as beavers. But squirrels gnaw on YOUR HOUSE, not your trees! These playful creatures will invade your home and can cause THOUSANDS of dollars in damage.
Squirrel problems require THREE solutions:
First, get ALL the squirrels out of your house. This requires "exclusion devices" that only allow an exit.
Second, trap the offending critters.
Third, exterminate the offenders and/or relocate the trapped squirrels.
Squirrel trapping does NOT address the damage that they have inflicted. You will need to contract with a roofer and/or carpenter to make the required repairs. Note that squirrels take advantage of pre-existing construction flaws that leave gaps or soft areas due to water damage.
Like all the other animal control situations, Randy will set the traps and continue to check these traps daily. The resident sets the budget and decides when the mission is complete. The homeowner or resident is responsible for repairs to prevent reinfestation.
Nuisance Squirrel Control EQUALS trapping
If squirrels have invaded your buildings or property, the best solution is trapping. Using firearms around your residence is usually not an option. "Scaring them away" is not a long-term solution. If you are interested in the permanent removal of the problem squirrels, give Randy a call.
Also note that in most cases, trapping equals DEATH for the offending animal. In a very few cases, a problem squirrel might be caught in a "live trap", then transported miles away for release. This is the exception, however. In most cases, the offending squirrels (or chipmunks) will be killed onsite. If you want 100% of the squirrels removed from your buildings, kill traps MUST be employed.
Also note that nuisance animal control is an expensive, time-consuming process. Expensive traps must be properly set, then checked at least once daily. This means that there will be an initial set-up expense and ongoing operational charges. Some animal offenders may elude traps for many days. You will be REQUIRED to set an upper limit to the total expense, but this may not guarantee the full elimination of the animal problem. Added costs, such as the removal and relocation of trapped animals may also apply.
The conditions that attracted the animals in the first place may lead to "repeat offenders" in the future - including migrating animals or even relocated squirrels that have returned to your property. If a problem squirrel has taken up residence in a building, you can guarantee that another animal (squirrel, raccoon, bats or wasps) will find the same entry point if you don't make the necessary repairs. Animal removal does not include structural repairs to your buildings or restoration of plantings or shoreline. Randy can offer basic repairs, in some cases. Often, extensive repairs will require a roofer and/or carpenter.
Cost estimates: The MINIMUM cost will be $100.00 for set-up, trapping, and animal removal. Every day of trap checks and animal removal will add to the total expense. There is a cost to remove the animal and reset the trap. This cost is PER ANIMAL - regardless if it is a mouse, chipmunk, or 40-pound beaver. It is up to the landowner or resident to set the MAXIMUM budget in advance.
Randy is licensed to remove nuisance squirrels by the State of Wisconsin. There is NO CLOSED SEASON for the control of squirrels causing damage. While serving as the agent of the landowner, Randy can both TRAP and SHOOT squirrels that are causing damage to your property per WI NR 12.10(3)(c).
Randy offers nuisance animal removal only because he is an avid outdoorsman. This is not a profitable business, and furs have little value. The landowner or resident will be REQUIRED to sign both a service estimate AND a 100% release of all liability for these services. Please contact Randy for an estimate or to schedule an on-site visit to assess the problem.
Randy has been a hunter and trapper for over 50 years. He has hunted large and small game from the Mexican border to far northern Canada. Based on this experience, over the years, he has also been asked to help friends and neighbors with animal problems. This has ranged from squirrels in the attic to armadillos in the shrubbery.
