How to get rid of squirrels/chipmunks in attic?

[Chickie]

Cristen -
I wonder if you were able to find someone to get rid of the squirrels in your attic? Every fall I have had mice coming in for the winter and have set traps to eliminate them. In late summer I bought two of the Riddex noise makers and plugged one in on the ground floor and the other upstairs. I don’t have ready access to the attic either. I have been hearing the patter of little mice feet for the past couple weeks, so the noise makers haven’t worked for me. I am back to the old tried and true method of setting traps. Last night I heard what seemed to be a much larger animal (probably a squirrel). I doubt it was the usual mice, unless they have formed an army of a hundred strong.

Things are quiet this morning, so hopefully whatever it was has left the premises, but if it returns I would like to have an idea of whom to call. I would appreciate knowing if you were able to find an exterminator to resolve the problem for you and, if so, the name of that person or company.

Thanks

Next time just do not invite them in, that will solve your problem. I have been on the lake now for over 50 years and never once invited them in and they haven't intruded as yet.

Hi Chickie - Tom Boucher from Alpha Omega has been to my house a few times. He believes I have mice in my attic. He's set some traps inside and outside the house. I think I am hearing them less at night.

Hopefully they will be gone in both of our houses soon!

Best, Cristen
