I just recently secured the flashing but now see the squirrel is trying to scratch he was in through my siding. Question- is there anything i can put on siding to stop him from burroughing? ( like tabasco sauce) also, since its fall here im assuming they wouldnt have pups. is this correct? any suggestions please.. |

Take away food sources and destroy any nests in place or under construction. Also - dont leave the attic unvisited for long periods of time. Try just going up there 2-3 times a day. By disturbing their privacy they may want to find different lodgings~ Mark |
