All About Squirrels - Yard Protection

 

The gray squirrel is the most common squirrel inhabiting over 2/3 of the United States. They come in a variety of colors from pure black to pure white and all shades in between. The squirrel's tail plays an important role in communication, locomotion and insulation.

Their ideal habitat is a forest of oak, beech, and hickory trees which provide food and natural cover.

Yard Protection


Since most squirrels are active throughout the day you can easily observe areas where they spend most of their time.
This will help when deciding the best control options to keep squirrels from damaging your yard and gardens.

 

 

Critter Library - squirrel eatingSquirrel Exclusion


Squirrels are difficult to exclude from a yard or garden since they are excellent climbers. In order to keep squirrels from damaging small trees, protect them with garden netting.

For larger trees that are more difficult to cover, use a wide collar made of sheet metal or plexiglass. Make the sheet metal about 2 feet wide and position it around the bottom of the tree, make sure to leave enough room for tree growth.

Another way to keep squirrels from damaging trees is to cut branches off the tree.

 

If squirrels manage to get into your home's attic through an opening in your roof, particulary in the soffit or roof vent, your best method of preventing them from re-entering is to use exclusion. 

 

Fix the opening and any weathered areas that squirrels could easily chew through and gain access to your home.  Note:  Just be sure that you have removed all of the squirrels before pursuing this option.

Deer Off® is a patented dual deterrent that repels by scent and taste. Our new battery operated sprayer makes covering larger areas easy without having sore wrists or arms.

Are squirrels digging up your flower bulbs?  Deer Off® concentrate formula also offers bulb protection by dipping bulbs prior to planting.

 

An electronic repellent can also be useful in severely populated areas and is easy-to-use, convenient and quick. Motion and heat sensors trigger a blast of water and scare the animals from your property. Spray Away is an electronic repellent from Havahart®.
