Solving Problems with Squirrels

The Humane Society of the United States has posted their recommendations for solving problems with squirrels.

Squirrels generally rank as the top problem-makers among all species of urban wildlife. Paradoxically, these charming, bushy-tailed creatures are also consistently judged “Most Popular” among our wild neighbors. It seems we want them and we don’t want them–depending on what they’re up to at any given moment. Either way, squirrels are undisputedly one of the most successful mammals in human-altered environments.

The first approach to dealing with squirrels is to establish limits of tolerance. If they need to be excluded from an attic or prevented from stealing bird food, make sure it is done in a manner that does them and their young no harm.

They also offer advice on removing squirrels from your chimney…

Hang a long, 3/4-inch diameter rope down the chimney, and drape it over the side of the house to allow them to climb out. Afterwards, install a chimney cap.
