Squirrel Control

Squirrel is such a cute animal. I managed to see them when I went to visit my sister in Canada. The squirrel came to the backyard. However, when I go nearer, it quickly ran and climbed on the tree to hide itself. Too bad I was not quick enough to take the photo of the squirrel.

Let me tell you some facts about squirrel. Squirrels are very active during the day. They are normally 8 to 10 inches long and 12 to 24 ounces in weight. The ideal habitat for squirrels will be the forest filled with oak, beech and hickory tress. Squirrels are vegetarians. Their favorite food consists of nuts, berries, fruits, mushrooms and the occasional insects. Squirrels use its tail for communication, locomotion and insulation. During cold winter time, they will spend most of the time in their nest.

Although squirrels are cute, they do damages to people’s garden and yard. People will get angry when they saw their lovely garden or yard is being messed up by this little creature. In order to get rid of them, people forced to use various type of methods, including exclusion, squirrel repellent and squirrel trap. If you are using the squirrel trap, you can use the bait to attract squirrels to your squirrel traps. The baits are cereal, grains, apples, nuts, sunflower seeds and etc.
