You will also need to inspect your house to identify the possible access point of the squirrel. You will need ladder to inspect the high areas of your house such as your roof. The ladder that you will set up will depend upon the height of your structure. You will also need to prepare a headlamp to inspect the dark areas of your house.

A screw will be excellent to use in tight areas of the house. The repair tools that you will prepare would depend upon the place of the infestation.
