Hillsborough County, Manchester Rat Control Situation:
Hello, I have problems with a feral cat and an opossum and a bear in my yard in Manchester CT. And I would like some advice about who I should call, because I have dealt with two companies in the area already who charge a lot of money and do not actually get rid of the problem. Two years ago, I paid a company to remove a flying squirrel who had gone down our chimney and was popping up in the house. They told me to have trees cut down around the house, which I did, which was also very expensive! They removed one of the squirrels in the area, but I know that there are still flying squirrels here as I can hear them at night running up the telephone wires and running across the roof. Last year, I paid a wildlife company to trap some squirrels on the roof who were damaging the chimney. Although they removed a mother and two baby squirrels, they were unable to catch the other two squirrels who continue to run around the roof. Please, could you recommend a reputable company who could help me with these animals, as I am tired of paying companies who don't actually help and don't return your money.

Tips To Get Rid Of Rats In The Attic
It's normal for you to have that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach when you keep hearing that scurrying sound coming from your attic because of the indecent activities of rats. To put an end to this weird feeling, you need to get rid of the rats living in your attic.
Have you been wanting to do this but you don't know how to go about it? Right here, we will be sharing some tips on how to get rid of rats in the attic. With the following tips, you will be able to do as you please and keep your attic free from rats.
When it comes to getting rid of rats in your attic, the first thing you need to do is to inspect your house in order for you to know exactly how the rats got into your attic. Being a very flexible animal with an ability to sneak around and pass through openings as small as a quarter of an inch, rats can enter into your attic through different openings. What this implies is that you need to inspect your attic properly to know how they got in.
The second step you need to take is to inspect your attic to know the extent to which the rats have damaged your attic. Rats in the attic are capable of chewing your wires and tearing the insulation in the roofing for their nests.
After inspecting the attic, the next thing you need to do is seal up all the entry holes that you were able to find while inspecting the attic. This should be done with durable materials that rats can't chew. Materials like this include steel screens and metal.
Lastly, you need to trap or kill the rats using either a snap trap or a one-way exclusion funnel. Do not use rat poisons to get rid of the rats in your attic. It will only create more environmental problems instead of reducing them.
