SQUIRRELS

 Squirrel-proof feeders can help reduce frustration, but they’re not always a complete solution. Look for options with weight-activated perches or protective cages—but keep in mind, determined squirrels are incredibly resourceful. 

 The most effective approach is a combination of deterrents and prevention. Removing food sources, installing barriers, and using repellents can all help—but consistency is key to keeping squirrels from coming back. 

 Sprays, granules, and motion-activated devices can offer temporary relief—but squirrels adapt quickly. If you’re reapplying products over and over with limited results, it’s usually a sign there’s a larger issue driving activity. A professional inspection helps identify why squirrels are choosing your property—and how to stop it long-term. 

 Repellents, tree guards, and netting can help protect fruit trees—but only to a point. If squirrels have already established a food source, they’ll continue to push past basic deterrents. Long-term control comes from reducing access, addressing attractants, and putting a plan in place to manage the population around your property. That’s where professional service makes the difference. 

 Ultrasonic and mild electric deterrents can be part of a solution, but they’re rarely effective on their own. They work best when paired with exclusion and habitat modification. 

 The most reliable solution is a full-service approach: inspection, humane removal, and sealing entry points. At Thomas Pest Services, we focus on not just removing the squirrels—but making sure they don’t come back. 

 Humane methods like Havahart traps and one-way exclusion doors allow squirrels to exit safely without re-entering. DIY attempts can be risky for both you and the animal, so professional guidance is recommended. 

 You can find these at most home improvement stores, garden centers, or online. Just remember, they’re one piece of the puzzle, not a standalone fix. 

 Available at local garden centers or online retailers. These can help redirect activity—but won’t solve underlying access or nesting issues.

 If you choose to feed squirrels, stick to natural options like unsalted nuts, seeds, and fresh fruits. Avoid processed foods and be aware that feeding can increase activity around your home.
