Squirrels Ruin the Porch Overhang, We Fix It in Brielle, NJ
This customer in Brielle, NJ, had an infestation of squirrels in her attic. They were able to infest the home by ripping apart an area by the porch overhang and squeezing through a small gap. In order to safely retrieve the squirrels, we temporarily sealed off the access points on both sides of the porch overhang with hardware cloth, left one area exposed, and installed a one-way device over that area. We also installed several baited devices nearby. A one-way device is designed to allow the squirrel to safely leave the area but prevent it from getting back in. A short while later, we successfully retrieved all the squirrels and relocated them to a new, humane environment.
Now it's time to prevent them from getting back in! To accomplish that, we fashioned a piece of sturdy metal flashing and installed it over each one of the porch overhangs! Now the areas are properly protected from squirrels, birds, bats, and any other nuisance wildlife.
