I have squirrels running through the space between my second floor ceiling and roof. And I believe they have been entering from two small areas behind the gutters. I would need someone to repair and seal the entryways to prevent future infestations and further damage to the house.
Any leads greatly appreciated.
Werner,
Thanks for your offer to lend the Evictor to me.
But I don’t have an attic to place it in.
I have a flat roof house. And the squirrel is in the tight space between the roof and ceiling.
hold on one minute. i too had squirrels in my house. i had a whole family of squirrels living in the roof above my kitchen. and i successfully got them out all by myself. here’s the deal, get a squirrel evictor. in fact, if you want you can borrow mine because i don’t need it any more. i’m totally serious. it will have the squirrels out in probably 3 days.
and by the way, having squirrels in my roof was a strange and totally freaky experience. i can tell some stories if anyone is interested.
ps. the squirrel evictor is a heavy duty strobe light that kicks squirrel’s butts. look it up on google if you don’t believe me.
Wow, that IS quite a squirrel story!
Donatella, thanks for the referrals.
Donatella, to get rid Rocky, who seems to have very special tastes, are you sure he didn’t bait the trap with Lindt and Ligne Roset?
Donatella, i loved that story.
Oh and I forgot to mention, Manny Lasalle, who is a fireplace, chimney guy who knows about squirrels and roofs, helped me find the entry point and plugged it up with mesh wire and concrete. Manny’s skill is fireplaces and chimneys but he might be able to help you out with plugging up your entry point. His number is 917-292-1825.
Ah, you can imagine how my eyes lit up when I saw this post.
Yes, indeed, I had a visit from the pits of hell — Rocky, a special Brooklyn breed of squirrel, who went on a 2 day tear through my duplex apartment. He got in through a rotten place in the soffit, exploding into my apartment, pissed off and starved and proceeded to eat all my custom blinds, original shutters, scratched the innards of my window frames and best of all, got into the pantry, found a box of chocolate bars, brought them upstairs to the living room, opened them, daintily, and proceeded to eat them on my white couches. He then walked all over the couches, leaving chocolate paw prints everywhere. Before he learned how to use my computer or start calling 900 numbers, I enlisted the help of the wonderful Guido Amati of Bravo Exterminating. He is a prince, who came over the next day with a trap – a one way cage, baited with crackers and peanut butter. In addition to the emergency emotional support consisting of making me laugh (you can’t make this stuff up), Guido returned to remove Rocky and take him somewhere — supposedly the Brooklyn Navy Yard. He could be in your attic, since Guido swore he didn’t kill him. (He said I could if I wanted but it is against the law for exterminators to kill them). Anyway, you can rent one of these traps from the ASPCA, but the hard part is actually removing the trapped squirrels. Trust me, they are very angry at you, maybe even angrier than you are at them and that is what Guido did for me. Call him at 212-465-7579. Good luck. Make Guido take him far, far away.

Search for “squirrel” in past threads—there have been several on wildlife control, including a memorable post about a marauding squirrel by Donatella.
For comic relief, search online for the NPR program “This American Life” and a segment about a bungling, squirrel-chasing cop.
