Squirrels have been invading my home getting in through the roof. I have set traps, but they wont go near them. Any other suggestions.How do you squirrel proof a roof?
put a giant slab of sheet metal on your roof and hook a 220v to it and watch the little suckers fry ..... lol sry i just had to say it!How do you squirrel proof a roof?
get a hand full of rubber snakes andplace them on the roof surface and if they are getting into the attic, use have a heart traps, baited with black sunflower seeds and take them outside and shoot them.
put steel wool in the opening they are entering through.... if that doesn't work... tack some cage wire over opening..... or you could put spray foam insulation in the opening.

get a pellet gun and make an afternoon in the attic. by the way they are good eating
some strange answers here!


1st thing ya have to do is eliminate the way the squirrels are getting on the roof. cut back all tree limbs and branches to where they're at least 7 ft away from the edge of the roof,also, cut down any limbs/branchs growing over the roof,trim down tall bushes also. then you can go through the steps of sealin off the entry holes. if your as perturbed with the little fluffytailed tree rats as i am, i recommend a crosman monte carlo pump up air rifle w/ a properly sighted in non dot emitting laser site. rifle and scope should cost ya about $50.00
PUT STEEL WOOL IN THE HOLES WHEN YOU KNOW THEY'VE LEFT TO GET A NUT AND PLACE MOTH BALLS ALL AROUND YOUR ATTIC THEY DON'T LIKE THE SMELL.
I would contact an exterminator and ask them WHY they are coming into your home. I'm sure they can suggest something for you.
You may need to hire someone to come and put a screened cap on your chimney and air vents.
feed your cats(or get a cat) wherever the varmits are getting in--i guarantee squierlls will avoid cats like the plauge
You are on the right track, get rid of the squirrels. Try different baits, like corn or peanut butter. The problem is, of course, that getting rid of the current ones only makes room for the next ones. You might look at the environment around your home to see what is encouraging them to move in.





Also your local extension service might be able to assist you. That is what you are paying them for.
Use the same method people use to keep squirrels off the bird feeder. They install upside down funnel shaped metal form. No squirrels can traverse the underside of an inverted cone to reach the center cord that holds the feeder. Likewise install these inverted funnels on all your exhaust pipes on the roof and vents. I would make the funnel with radius of at least 10 inches. For the vent holes under the eaves, install metal screen. The whole idea is to make all openings on your roof and upper sides of your house armed with a down slope path for the critters. Unless they can grab the cone material, gravity will win every time and they'll fall off. Also did you know that mice can climb the vertical side of a house and get in through any small openings in your roof and vent holes.
you can't.....if they want in, they'll get in. if you close up the hole they're getting in, they'll just make another. try a wooden rabbit box. then just take them to your neighbor's and let them go.
stuff all holes with spray foam %26amp; / or steel wool.... holes the size of a silver dollar will give access!!!
