Getting our trees trimmed back away from the house really reduced the squirrel traffic on our roof.

Here's the proposed repair --
Wildlife Products: Pest Armor 173 23.00 3,979.00
Install Pest Armor (TM) Gutter Protection System per LF
General Repairs:Soffit Corners 2 125.00 250.00
They are likely upselling you on the soffit and gutters.
I can't remember exactly how much I paid for bird removal/patching up the hole (like $300 or $400?) but the guy quoted me some insane price for replacing the soffits and some other work.
Gutters aren’t quoted and soffit is $250. That’s what I paid a handyman. My handyman would also do the pest removal and repair but not sure the cost.

Well we thought we had this. Now a year later, I think they were only on our roof.
We got a huge quote and couldn’t do it.
We left it alone, and I don’t hear it anymore. Questionable if they were in our attic anyway. The guy said maybe, and said if I was worried we could do the huge repair. But he never found real evidence. (Feces, fur, or torn up insulation)

I think it’s illegal to injure or kill them in FFx county, maybe if you eat them afterwards it’s okay?
What's the penalty - I need to make an informed decision.
Don't trust DCUM legal advice!

It was in the same spot a few months ago, so we got an estimate from a wildlife company for $4700 to remove the squirrel by a "one-way door" and repair the area where the squirrel is getting in. The squirrel noise went away so we didn't do anything. I started hearing it again yesterday and all day today. Is this really a $4700 repair?? Any thoughts or guidance is much appreciated.
Signed - going crazy while working from home listening to the squirrel above me
Call me, I'll do it for half that.

It took some observation on our part and a few days....
The danger with this is that they could have babies up there and then you’ve killed the babies and have a stinky mess in your hands.
Also the squirrel could actually be a bats or a raccoon and I’m not taking my chances with either of those critters.

I’ve always used Adcock, they are good. Removal and repair last time I used them was about $1,000.
That was a flat fee and they came out as often as needs until the traps were empty for a few trips out they removed the traps and did the repairs.

Critter Gitters --if they are in your area charge $150 to set a trap and then another small fee if anything gets trapped.
