Natural Pest Control For Squirrels
Squirrels are small mammals that commonly invade our homes when we least expect it.
Squirrels are small mammals that commonly invade our homes when we least expect it. These rodents can cause a lot of damage to your garden and home if not dealt with immediately. They also carry diseases, so it is important to get rid of them as soon as possible.
But squirrels aren’t actually the only animals you need to worry about when dealing with pest control for your home or garden; there are plenty more pests out there that can wreak havoc on your property! Below are some tips for controlling common pests in the urban environment:
They can also wreak havoc in your garden and damage your plants.
You might want to start thinking about natural pest control for squirrels if you find yourself facing any of these problems:
- They can damage plants in your garden by digging holes in the soil and chewing through bark.
- They can also damage trees, as they dig holes in the ground to bury acorns or nuts, which causes root damage.
- If you have an apple tree that is particularly appealing to squirrels, it’s possible that they will chew through the bark on its trunk or branches.
Are you battling with squirrels on your property?
Are you battling with squirrels on your property? If so, it may seem like an overwhelming task to get rid of them. The good news is that there are several natural and effective ways to get rid of squirrels on your property, including repellents and traps.
The good news is that you don’t have to resort to using harsh chemical pesticides to get rid of the pests.
If you’re like me, you’re probably thinking that using chemical pesticides sounds like a bad idea. The good news is that you don’t have to resort to using harsh chemical pesticides to get rid of the pests.
The first thing I want to point out is that it’s important to consider how harmful these chemicals can be for both humans and animals. Many people are unaware of just how dangerous these chemicals actually are! For example, many people think that it’s okay for them or their pets (like dogs) to come into contact with these toxic substances because they’re effective at killing off pests and insects — but this isn’t actually true!
Using pesticides also means having an extra expense each month because if we don’t use them correctly then we may need more than one application per week or even day depending on how bad our infestation is getting!
You can use natural and organic methods to control them.
You can use natural and organic methods to control them.
Organic methods are the most effective in the long term, but they take more time. For example, you should place bird feeders away from your house so that squirrels cannot access them easily. The last thing you want is for a squirrel to get stuck inside a feeder while trying to steal seeds!
Here are some of the best pest control methods for squirrels.
Predator urine
The scent of predator pee is a great way to scare off squirrels. It’s an especially effective method for keeping squirrels off your bird feeders, because birds tend to avoid areas where predators have been.
There are several different ways to apply predator urine for the best results:
- Pour the pee directly on the ground around the base of your bird feeders.
- Place mothballs in a jar with lids, then add some pee and let it sit overnight so that you can use it as a repellent spray in the morning when you’re going outside (the mothballs will break down into powder). You can also do this indoors if you want to deter squirrels from entering rooms or climbing up walls around windowsills.

Preventive measures
- Use fencing to prevent squirrels from accessing your property.
- Seal gaps between trees and walls of your house with cement.
- Don’t store bird seeds, pet foods and other natural food products outside. This will encourage squirrels to stay in the area, as they will be able to get more resources than if there were no food available for them to eat.
- Use predator urine (such as coyote pee) around your home or yard to scare away pesky critters such as squirrels that may not understand that they aren’t welcome there anymore!
You can reduce the chances of attracting squirrels by not storing bird seeds and pet foods outside.
You can reduce the chances of attracting squirrels by not storing bird seeds and pet foods outside. Squirrels are attracted to bird seeds and pet foods because they contain high amounts of fat, which is a good source of energy. You should store the food inside, or in a squirrel proof container if you don’t have room to store it indoors. Squirrel proof containers can be made or bought; these containers are designed specifically to prevent squirrels from accessing them. If you decide to make your own, remember that squirrels are not very smart, so they can’t learn how to open them easily!
It’s also worth installing fence-like barriers around trees, especially if they’re close to your home as well as use cement to seal the gaps between trees and walls of your house.

If you want to keep squirrels out then you can use repellents, decoys, traps and/or predator urine. Some natural deterrents include pine cones and acorns – these will make it more difficult for them to find food in your garden or yard.
The reason why this is such an effective way of controlling squirrels is that they won’t be able to gain access into your home any more.
Another preventive measure you can use to keep squirrels out of your home is installing fence-like barriers around trees. You can also use cement to seal the gaps between trees and walls of your house.
Once you have installed these barriers, make sure that they are high enough so that no squirrels can jump over them.
Predator Urine
- Predator urine can be sprayed around your property to deter squirrels. The smell of a fox or coyote will make them think twice about approaching your home.
- Vinegar is another effective way to keep squirrels at bay. You can leave bowls with vinegar around the perimeter of your property, or you can spray it directly onto the ground in areas where they tend to frequent (such as underneath bird feeders).
- Squirrels don’t like water, so sprinklers work well when used as an additional deterrent against these rodents. To get maximum results, wait until dusk when the squirrels are most active before setting up the sprinkler system on timers so that it turns itself on every few hours during peak hours for rodent activity.
- Another option for natural pest control is to install some type of fence around your garden or other areas where hunting might occur regularly at night; this will discourage them from coming near enough for food sources such as seeds and berries if there isn’t anything else nearby that would provide sustenance during colder weather months too!
Predator urine contains pheromones that irritate squirrels and make them leave your property as fast as possible.
Pheromones are natural chemicals that animals produce to communicate with each other. When a predator urinates on something, it leaves pheromones behind that irritate squirrels and make them want to avoid that area.
- Squirrels have a good sense of smell. They can detect predator urine from long distances and will quickly leave your yard or garage once they get a whiff of it.
- Predator urine is not harmful to you or your pets, nor does it pose any environmental threats. It’s also safe for children and pregnant women who may come into contact with it when spraying the product in their yards.
This approach might seem a little unusual but it works because it makes the squirrels feel like there’s a predator in the area.
Predator urine is the scent of predators diluted with water. Predators are animals that hunt and kill other animals for food, so predator urine contains chemicals that tell other predators “I have been here.”
In the case of squirrels, this means that there is a cougar or coyote nearby—and they’re hungry. The smell scares away many mammals including squirrels because they don’t want to get eaten!
There are two ways to get predator urine: buy it or make it yourself. Neither method is expensive but if you want to make your own, you’ll need a few supplies like water bottles filled with pee from wild cats like bobcats or mountain lions (you can find these at some hunting stores). If you shop around online, some companies sell premade predator urine for about $50 per bottle; however quantities tend to be small so it may not last long before needing restocked again especially if there’s more than one animal living inside your home!
If using commercial products isn’t an option then try mixing up your own concoction by adding about half as much water as red wine vinegar into each bottle cap before adding just enough liquid so that no air bubbles remain inside when sealed tightly shut using tape over top-then left overnight before applying evenly throughout yard area surrounding property line entrances where these pests could potentially gain access through holes in fencing material such as chicken wire mesh panels used commonly found protecting garden areas throughout rural North America landscapes where homeowners often live under constant threat against invasion by pesky critters seeking refuge within yards during snowy months when temperatures plummet below freezing point temperatures making outdoor living unsafe due lack insulation properties between homes built directly on land without foundations making them prone towards collapse should any sudden cracks form underneath structure due weight bearing stress put upon them by nature’s powerful forces such
One of the best ways to do this is by spraying predator urine in your home or yard so that all the squirrels will not only leave but stay away for good.

This can be done with a commercial product or you can make your own using:
- A bottle of water (bottled is best, tap water may not work as well)
- A cat that has been out and around other animals, especially cats and dogs (a housecat will probably suffice if you don’t have access to a feral cat)
