High Frequency Sound Emitters
Such pest control devices were developed sometime around the 80's and 90's. What the device actually does is it produces high frequency sound waves and such waves are believed to jam or disrupt the senses of the rodent pests. It gained popularity to many users that time because of their initial results. However, later on the people realized that the effects of the device are quite temporal. The disruption of the senses in the critters eventually wears off and the pests are then back to business. Later, technical research has discovered that the device don't really work at all in preventing rodent pests, like squirrels and rats because the pests have a certain sense of coping mechanism that enables them to get around through the noise. Plus the fact are not solely dependent thus not very sensitive to their sense of hearing. This renders the device utterly useless. Although, the device was later found out to work in smaller pests like bugs and certain insects because they have antennas that sensitively pick up wave signals.
Chemical Treatment
Chemical treatment has gained enormous popularity to many household owners sometime around the 90's because of its undeniable effectiveness and efficiency in dealing with house pests like squirrels. However, the commercialized forms of the chemicals which target regular homeowner users are not safe at all. Reports about chemical side-effects to inexperienced users are growing rampant and therefore deemed not safe for household use. Chemical treatments may prove to be very effective and safe if they are applied by experienced hands. If chemical treatments are executed by hired professional services, then it is just absolutely okay as these people are already trained the right way and they know precisely what to do to use the chemicals safely. They can also employ certain devices that can deter the toxins of the chemicals to prevent any ill effects to the people and animals around.
Moth Balls
Some people think that moth balls are actually very effective squirrel deterrent and if a squirrel smells the balls from a distance, they wouldn't feel invited at home anymore. However, these are "moth balls" we're talking about and the name implies that is should only be used for moths and insects alike. When you use them on rodents like squirrels they could only have little effects or so. Remember that squirrels are more intellectual animals than bugs and they could just conveniently push the balls away until they couldn't smell them anymore.
