What to do about a squirrel under the porch - A squirrel is such a pesky animal but it is one that is hard to get rid of. Because these little critters are so small and wiry, they can get into almost any little nook or crevice. It is what makes them such a tough animal to keep away.

There are certain areas that make it even more difficult to extract them from. Your porch is one of the most difficult places to do so, because usually your porch is an enclosed area that makes it difficult for you to get into to try to flush them out. It really poses a challenge.

But that challenge must be met. You cannot let this little vermin remain and so you have to get rid of it while you can. This demands that you take some quick and wise action to keep them out. It is time to put on your thinking cap.

The first thing to consider is that it starts by first getting them to leave from under the porch. What I mean is that you need them to leave for a short period of time so you can swing your plan into action. The best time to see this happen is during the day time. Squirrels will usually go out to look for food and when they do that is your opportunity. You simply watch and wait for them to leave.

When they go then it is time to spring into action. If there is a pathway they are using to get under the porch then you will need to close this off, but first you will want to give it a reason to stay away.

There are two things that you can use to keep the squirrels away. The one that works the best is predator urine. You can get some coyote or fox urine and put it under the porch. This will surely keep the squirrel away. Understand that this may have a very strong smell and could possibly keep others away like your friends and family.

You can look into repellants, but they usually do not work as well. However, they do work and can give you the additional protection you need to keep them out. Once you have put this under the porch, then it is time to close off the access they are using to get into the porch area. Close this off and seal it and you will keep that pesky squirrel away.
