Should I hire a pro, or remove squirrels myself? This is a question that many ask themselves. If they have a problem with a squirrel is it better to handle it on their own, or to bring in a professional to do the job? The honest answer is that it depends. This is not as simple as many would suppose. Let's look at the reasons you would hire a professional.

The first and most important of these is that either the squirrel is in your home, not just your attic or your walls but is rummaging through the home itself, or it is visibly sick and you are worried about the effects of this. So let's begin with the first of these.

If the squirrel has managed to get into your home, like in your living room or a bed room then it is a good idea to hire a professional and quickly. They will likely be terrified in your home and can be quite dangerous at that point. They are likely to lash out if cornered, and since some squirrels carry diseases like rabies, you have to make sure that you protect yourself, your family and your pets. This means you need a professional to get in there and take care of this problem immediately. Simply close the door so it cannot go elsewhere and call for help.

If you notice that a squirrel appears ill, its eyes look glazed, it is foaming at the mouth, or it is walking like it is drunk, this is another reason to call a professional. Yes, you may be able to scare it off, but the likelihood is that the illness will make it so that the squirrel may act incredibly erratic. This can mean that it will attack you personally just for no reason. You cannot take the risk of approaching it, and you have to worry about the health of your pets and children.

If you find that there is a squirrel in your walls or in your attic, you may also want to call a professional. There are things you can do to get rid of it on your own, but you may want to play it safe. The professional will not only remove the critter, but also clean-up for you so that your property is safe.

Just because you have a squirrel on your property is not a reason to call a professional. Most are simply looking for food outside and as long as you do not bother them they will likely not bother you.
