Will repellents keep flying squirrels out of the attic?

Once you have removed the squirrels then the next and the most important step is to make sure that they never enter your attic or property again. To do, the first thing you need to do is close all the entrances to your property and attic. It may sound easy, but trust us it is very difficult. These flying squirrels have a very strong sense of smell and they tend to leave a scent trail behind. Other squirrels have the ability to follow this scent and they then reside on your property. The scent of smell remains there for about a year or more after these flying squirrels have left the place. So, when you seal the path from where the previous squirrels entered, you are also eliminating the entry point of new squirrels.
