Here’s the conclusion to my squirrel encounter.

The worst damage done by the squirrel was to the beautiful large hand-crafted bay window.  Apparently the squirrel thought he could dig and chew his way out of the house.  That expensive window was ruined.  I imagine in only a very short time that he would likely have been able to dig his way to freedom through that window encasement.   Destruction was everywhere not to mention the amazing amount of droppings and urine that coated the upstairs.

The officer asked if we had been bitten or scratched by the squirrel. We had not.  He then told me that there was nothing that he or Animal Control could do for me unless we were injured by the squirrel

He told me to contact a professional squirrel removal company.  So I did.  Within a very short period of time, traps were in place and the squirrel was caught.  The moral of the story….leave the squirrel trapping up to the professionals.  Bites and scratches from squirrels can be dangerous and will certainly require an emergency room visit and painful Rabies shots.  It is amazing how quick and easy the trapping was.  I sure wish I had made that call before all of the destruction occurred.  For a quick and reliable humane squirrel removal specialist click here for more information.
