If a squirrel becomes fascinated in the living areas of your house, don’t fright, it’s probably just as scared as you are. You can find many tips to prevent squirrel attacks but the best way to get it out of is to open the doors and windows and calmly coax it towards the door using a broom. It will eventually leave. Do not attempt to pick it up even if you are wearing gloves. Their bite is hard.
Home Remedies to Ridding Of Squirrels
1. To put off them from climbing trees or poles to get on your roof and into your attic, place strip of metal banding around the base of the tree or pole and go up to a height of 3 or 4 feet. Also trees and poles can be sprayed with WD 40 or coated with vegetable oil which will make it difficult for climbing.
2. To chase squirrels out of your attic, try running a strobe light or play load music to frighten them off. This may only be a temporary solution, if you don’t seal up its entrance hole.
3. To remove a squirrel trapped in your chimney, stick a hose or long pole down to the chimneys bottom. Secure it to the top with duct tape or a bungee cord. By day’s end the squirrel usually will have climbed out. Cover the chimney with wire.

Rabies from Squirrels
DON’T PANIC IF YOU HAVE BEEN BITTEN — There has never been a known case of rabies caused by squirrels. Woodchucks and groundhogs are the only rodents that could expose you to rabies. Mice, rats, moles, chipmunks, and rabbits also are not known to carry rabies.
Repellents For Squirrels
In certain situations repellents such as Havahart repellent which contains capsaicin and is the ingredient that makes chille peppers hot, might work by placing it around their entrance hole. Fox urine has also shown to work in some cases and can be purchased at most sporting goods stores. Moth balls work well in repelling some critters but in my opinion are useless against squirrels. In one case a home-owner had told me he had dumped a box of moth balls in his attic to repel squirrels. The next morning he observed a squirrel pilling them up neatly on the far side of his property. Electronic repellent are also usually useless. You can hire Fast pest control Sydney professionals for the job by making sure that they will provide you squirrel control as well.
