Loose Squirrel Stuck Inside Home

Pigeons, sparrows, starlings, and geese are among the most common birds we encounter in the Fort Wayne area, and they may become a problem for homeowners. Birds are drawn to homes and buildings that provide protection from the elements, and they can become a problem in a variety of areas on your property. Attics, soffits, chimneys, bathroom vents, and sheds are among places where they've been known to establish nests.

When a single animal enters your home, it can be a significant problem. However, nesting birds pose a slew of issues. Birds build nests in homes largely to protect themselves from predators and harsh weather. However, if they get stuck in your vents or gutters, they might damage your house. ‍

Squirrels are not considered threatening to people, although their chewing can cause structural damage. As a result, as soon as you believe that wildlife is present in your home, you should contact a professional wildlife removal agency. Varment Guard Wildlife Services is delighted to provide superior removal, restoration, and wildlife exclusion services to the Fort Wayne neighborhood and adjacent areas.

Also keep in mind that if you have a raccoon in your home right now, you may need to use a catch pole to capture the animal by the neck and place it in the trap. During this process, the raccoon is uninjured. It's critical to be forceful since a raccoon in your home can cause important damage. Raccoons can also become VERY violent when cornered, feel threatened, or fear their kids are in risk.

Nuisance Wildlife Control Services

Professional trapping is your first line of protection against nuisance animals that have taken up residence in your home or attic. We provide humane and efficient nuisance animal removal solutions for all problematic species of Indiana wildlife, from humane bat exclusion and bird control to squirrel, raccoon, and skunk removal.

How to Get Rid of Skunks Humanely

Bat Removal – Bats in the attic are a common occurrence. Brown bats, both big and small, can live in colonies or be solitary. Bats in attics can eat through insulation and cause health problems for anyone living within.

Raccoon Removal - In Indiana, raccoons are a common animal. They break into attics, ruin property, devour trash, and do a variety of other things.

Squirrel Removal - We deal with squirrels in attics and eaves throughout the year, but especially in the late summer and early winter.

Removal of opossums and skunks - We trap a range of problem animals, including possums, skunks, and other rodents.

Fresh bat feces, known as guano, can carry a fungus called histoplasmosis, which can cause a lung illness in humans if inhaled. Touching bat guano is likewise harmful and should be avoided at all costs! Chest ache, fever, dry cough, joint paint, and red lumps on the lower legs are all symptoms of histoplasmosis. Shortness of breath, profuse sweating, and bloody coughing are some of the more severe symptoms. Children, the elderly, and those with weakened or damaged immune systems are at higher risk. Histoplasmosis can potentially be contracted more than once.

Exclusion is the most effective method of long-term wildlife control. While removing a nuisance animal solves a current problem, it does little to prevent future invaders. The possibilities of future animal infestation and damage are considerably minimized by detecting all points of animal entry and executing repair and exclusion procedures.

Flying squirrels, red squirrels, mice, and bats can leave your home through a small hole in your fascia board, attic vent, dormer, or gable vent, leaving droppings, urine, fleas, and ticks in your attic. Allow a Varment Guard specialist to inspect your home and seal these entry points before they grow into a bigger problem.

How to Trap a Squirrel

Our experts will methodically follow out your personalised action plan after you are completely satisfied with it. In our experience, we avoid using humane live traps wherever possible for a variety of reasons. The first is that other animals, including pets, can be trapped. Second, animals are incredibly intelligent, and many will refuse to be tricked into a live trap (at least not for several days). As a result, we install a cage that captures the animal as it enters or exits your home whenever possible. When it is legal, we remove and relocate the animal.
