Squirrels in the attic #278395

Asked September 15, 2015, 2:43 PM EDT

I live in an old farmhouse and I can hear critters in the attic. I have very limited funds to address this problem. I also have three very young grandchildren living in the house. What can I do to safely address this problem and claim this house for the humans?

Expert Response

You need to close any holes in the house after the squirrels leave to feed. See the following factsheets (look at bottom of each  for control methods):
