Squirrels in my attic?

i know this is not the correct category but you guys are the only ones answering seriously, thanksSquirrels in my attic?
Look in the Yellow Pages or online.


There are companies that will remove the squirrels in a humane manner.


My neighbor had a problem with Raccoons and Squirrels and they hired a company to do the job.


Squirrels don't have much of a problem with fleas which is a minor problem,but they can carry Rabies.


Now that is a serious concern with a new baby.


Give your landlord a written complaint to fix the problem.


Tell him you will with hold rent or move or both.


It is the responsibility of your landlord to provide you with safe premises.


This is your right.


You pay him rent and you better take him to task.Squirrels in my attic?
I wouldn't worry a squirrel in your attic giving diseases to your child. Obviously make sure the squirrel is nowhere near your child anyway to avoid bites (which would be extremely unlikely to happen because squirrels generally don't attack unprovoked, and a newborn can't really provoke a squirrel).





If it's confined to the attic I'd say it presents no real risk to you or your baby. Squirrels aren't particularly disease-ridden anyway.
lol i love the title of the question,


keep the baby away from the attic,


maybe in a room you know would be


close to you but safe form the animal.


you dont know what diseases that animal


could carry. if the landlord does not want


an exterminator then make him do it.


but if he doesnt, then hire one behind his back.
omg lady ..its a squirrel ..Its not going to hurt your kid. The pestcides to exterminate might kill your kid ..give him MS or Luekemia down the road. Killing animals for your convienience is simply wrong. If it truely frightens you to have a little nut eating squirrel in your attic. Get a live trap and release him


SQUIRRELS DO NOT CARRY RABIES, rats, dont mice dont!
