Squirrel Problems

Keeping Squirrels Out of Your House

Winter is prime time for squirrels to search for a warm, cozy home.  We want to help make sure it's not in your attic or walls. That's where squirrel problems begin.

Once inside your house, squirrels chew exposed electrical wires, tear through storage,  furniture and other materials and leave droppings.  Besides creating a mess, this crafty member of the rodent family poses a serious fire, health and safety hazard.

Tree limbs often serve as an easy launch point for squirrels to leap on the roof and possibly into your house. Tree trimming is a simple solution that can deter squirrels from gaining access to your house.  Your Giroud Arborist can evaluate the trees surrounding your house and determine how tree trimming or removal can help.

Heat Alert--Water Now!

Heat wave can be deadly for trees, shrubs and lawns.   Young plantings or newly seeded/sodded lawns are especially vulnerable.  During an extended heat wave, it's urgent to

water.  

Here's how to do it: The best time to water is in the morning. For trees and shrubs, let water trickle out slowly on each plant for about 20 minutes at least twice a week. For lawns, soak the newly planted area for at least 30 minutes, three times a week. Questions? Give us a call at 215-682-7704.
