Squirrels
Squirrels are fun to watch in your yard and trees, but when they invade your attic, they can gnaw on electrical wires, creating a very dangerous situation such as a fire hazard. Getting rid of squirrels is not an easy task. We send out a trained technician to look at the problem and determine where to place live traps. Once in place, you must monitor the traps daily so that when a squirrel is caught we can come remove it. Squirrels must be taken at least 10 miles from their territory or they will return. Please call 972 423 4764 and we can further discuss.
