Arrow said it would cost "thousands" to have their "wildlife team" come go inch by inch and block holes, put on excluders, etc.
Is that the going rate?
I have a havahart up there now, pics to follow if I catch one.
Then I make a roux.
Or drive it down the road and set it loose.
But then the other ones will be afraid of the trap, so I foresee having to get professional help.

Try Xpest Exterminating our of Loganville. I had them price a house before. Can’t say it will be less, but they quoted me $1,100 there.

And the motherfrickers will still come back. Bill Murray the shite out of them. Poison, dynamite, and a good pellet gun with a scope. Please post video of them dying in agony. The only good squirrel is a dead squirrel.

Spray cellulose (lots of it) insulation in the attic. Rodents don't like to nest in it due to the borate and looseness of the insulation.

Figure out how they are getting in and fix it. Trim branches and trees close to the house so they can't have easier access to your house. Had to go to war a few years back at my old house. Wound up shooting all of them over the course of a few weeks with an air rifle and a .22 loaded with CCI Quiets since it was a residential area.

Depends on the measurements of your roof line. I usually quote people anywhere from $1500+ and trapping to go with it

This thread tickles my taste buds.
A squirrel-off anyone?

Large mousetraps and peanut butter.
Will cost you less than $10. Been there, done that.

Untether a light battalion of dachshunds into your attic space. 48hrs and itll look like a deleted scene from an oliver stone movie up there

The trap was baited with strawberries on a paper plate, the squirrels got all the bait and shredded the edges of the plate, looks like they got it from the side and didn't enter the trap. But this is good. Now the squirrels like the trap. It is a food center. And nothing bad happened. I was afraid if I caught one the first night, the others would be too afraid to go in afterward.
Pics later. And will come up with a new plan so they have to enter the trap.

No, that’s what you do FIRST...

Have you tried a strobe light? I have read that it will drive squirrels insane and they leave pretty much immediately.

Be thankful it's only squirrels.
I've caught at least 3 large grey rat snakes in my house over the years, and 1 pretty small one. One of them was in my wife's china cabinet. I just caught it by the tail like Steve Irwin...God rest his soul...and pulled it out. No aggressiveness or anything. Just released it in the woods.
Wherever you find rodents, you'll find these snakes. And they will find a way in, no matter what. Moth balls will stop that, but the scent tends to permeate the house.
