Squirrel Removal

We thought we had mice in our kitchen bulkhead, but after having pest control came onsite for service, the noises not only continued on a daily basis but got louder and louder. We called Gates as we knew we were dealing with a larger animal. Nick arrived promptly, checked the entire exterior and roof of our home, and recommended we screen in all of our roof, dryer, stove and plumbing vents. There was no sign of roof damage or entry points. He also let us know that we were missing the chimney cap from our fireplace stack, so we have since had that replaced. It was a bit of mystery as to how a larger animal gained access between the walls, but after Nick screened all of our entry points, his investigative skills noticed that the vent from our basement bathroom had been taped shut as the cap was missing, and there was red fur on the underside so we now knew we were dealing with a red squirrel mom. Nick attached a 1-way door and baited it with peanut butter. I monitored it throughout the day and sure enough a mom and 2 juveniles made their way out. I still heard noises in the bulkhead that evening but by dusk the following day 2 more juveniles had made their way out. All was finally silent. The next day, Nick returned, removed the 1-way door, and recapped/sealed the entry vent. We had the optimal, humane outcome possible, largely due to Nick's knowledge and perseverance in solving our problem. Highly recommend Gates!
