• Location of entry points in your home- Squirrels can reach out places in your home which would be seldom difficult to reach. For this reason, it is not only important to get rid of them but to prevent them from coming back as well.
• Cordon of all the entry points except the main one- as these pests can squeeze up through an opening in your home; it does make sense to cordon of all the entry points and if possible use fitted screens. Seal up the openings with steel wool, caulk or any other material that is needed. A professional squirrel pest control could suggest ways to develop the defence mechanism of your home. Just have a single entry point so that the squirrel could leave on their own. It has to be an accessible and an obvious point. This last point could be sealed off with a sheet of newspaper. After a few days if you still find it intact or signs of squirrels in the attic does not appear you can seal the point.
• Provide an opportunity for the squirrels to leave. Unfortunately, the situation is such that you would need to push the squirrels to leave.
