Squirrel Crying In Attic

One of the main reasons squirrels take refuge in a house be it a crawlspace or an attic is that they are looking for a place to nest.

The squirrels will likely decide your home is unsuitable causing them to go elsewhere. Once a nest is built maybe as it s being built they re going to have babies. Those baby squirrels while harmless won t be able to move on their own for 6 to 8 weeks. You ll know baby squirrels are living in your attic when certain signs emerge.

One obvious sign is the sound of baby squirrels crying as they tend to do when they get hungry. To prevent this drive the squirrels out as soon as they make themselves known before they can give birth or set up shop. They often build their nests near openings such as an unscreened vent or loose or rotten trim boards. If you find the nest put the radio as close as you can to the nest.

Turn the radio to a talk station so the sound of human voices fills the attic. If you seal up the final entry point when the adult squirrel leaves while the baby squirrels are still in the attic or walls they will need to be removed by a pest management professional dead or alive.
