Wildlife service, worth it or not?

[Dan P.]

My tenants have been complaining about hearing scratching in the walls and ceiling. I'm assuming it is squirrells in the house. I called a wildlife service and they said they would handle the issue with a 3 year guarantee for $1600-2000.

This is a significant amount of money. Is it worthwhile actually paying this? Do the squirrells pose any potential risk to the property or is it just an annoyance to the tenants?

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

Live trap with fruit or nuts or peanut butter will usually do the trick for price of the trap about 40 bucks..

Take the critters a ways away  several miles or they will just come back.

Figure out how they got in and board it up.

Don't use POISION,, dead animals in attics it pretty gross, you will regret it. 

Your PM or property maintenance guy should be able to set some traps out and I wouldn't pay that price at all...
