In article , says...

does anyone have any proven methods
that work in keeping squirrels away
from the gutters & woodwork that they
happen to be mounted on ?

Try to cut back limbs close to the house.


i've gone from live traps, to poisoning
them with rat poison, and placing large
spring loaded rat traps around the gutters,
but still they keep coming !

Live trapping and a garbage can full of water is the one way you
know that you are reducing the population. The problem is the squirrels
that grew up in your soffet/attic area thinks that is where they are
supposed to live rather than the trees.

Any suggestions on lethal kill methods that
can be deployed un-manned ? and/or ways to
keep those squirrels at bay ?

what would a "professional" exterminator do ?


A pro will probably charge you $125 on up to set the trap then $50-$75
for each animal. If they provide repair service they will have an
additional charge for the patch work. Stay away from moth balls, more
times than not it is additional problems for the home owner.
