The Best Traps For Getting Squirrels Out Of Your Roof Permanently

If there are squirrels causing havoc in your loft
in the winter season, setting up squirrel traps
is the best and most merciful way of getting rid
of them. In nearly all occasions of squirrel
infestation in the attic or roof, it is a female
who is either searching for a refuge to make a
nest or to bring up her young. Although squirrel
traps are sure to help in controlling this rodent
problem, you will need to choose the proper
variety and use it in the recommended way to
ensure that you trap the rodent whilst not
causing it any harm.

The Different Types Of Squirrel Traps

When you are looking for a squirrel trap, you
can select from amongst a wide variety of
designs available in the market. Among these
include the one-way door trap, the repeater trap
and the cage trap for the roof. Aside from that,
or any other kinds of deterrents,there are body
grip traps, single animal live cage traps as
well as if you need to trap a number of
squirrels at the same time then you have the
repeating live cage door trap. However, if you
want to establish the correct choice of trap for
your home, you need to analyse the habits of the
rodents infesting your property and find out
their point of entry.

Body Grip Trap Model For Squirrels

These double spring-loaded connibear body grip
traps are deadly and can easily kill the
squirrel by choking or crushing it. These are
similar in appearance and function as the
large-sized snap traps normally used on rats and
though they were commonly used previously by fur
trappers, most home owners do not like using
these traps in these modern times. This is due
to the fact that they are not easy to assemble
and are hazardous to use, particularly if you
have small domestic animals. In these cases, you
should employ cage traps that just shut in the
animal and do not hurt it at all.

Single Animal Live Cage Trap Model For Squirrels

This is a perfect trap for home owners who like
to take care of the rodent infestation on their
own. Furthermore, this live trap is wildlife
control companies regularly use when they do not
want to kill the squirrel. You can find different
designs of live cage traps available and they
each work on the same system - a trip pan that
causes the door to close.

Such traps need to by arranged along the path of
the animal and if possible peanut butter or whole
maize seeds will be used to bait the rodent to
enter the cage. As soon as the squirrel walks on
the trip pan, the trap door closes and traps the
squirrel.

Repeating Live Cage Trap Models

This is a perfect option if you have more than
one rodent running around your attic. This trap
should be mounted on the gap that the squirrel
enters the house by and once it goes in this
trap, its one-way entry door traps the squirrel
and are able to entrap as many as six squirrels
at a time.

Having said that, taking advantage of a one-way
exclusion door is an even better option than
repeater cages because they just get rid of the
rodent whilst not trapping it and makes your
home squirrel free. In case it is illegal in the
state you live in to use squirrel traps, these
exclusion funnels or doors are the best choice
to rid your home of squirrels permanently.
