No matter what kind of steps you try to take to prevent this from happening, there will be instances where wild animals will figure out how to get inside your attic. Whether it is due to a loose board, a hole of some kind, a crack, or some other kind of blemish on the exterior of your home, these critters will use that as an entryway to gain access into the upper portion of your house.
This can mean that animals such as bats, birds, squirrels, raccoons, possums, and other kinds of little critters can decide to use your attic as their new residence. This becomes the ideal location because people rarely spend any kind of significant amount of time in the attic itself. It’s mainly used for storage, which only adds to the enticement for these wild animals.
Once they have made their home inside your house, they can be quite difficult to try to get rid of. They will do whatever they can to try to stay in your residence, meaning that you may have to take some extraordinary measures to get them out.
One idea that has become quite popular is the use of repellents. These commercially produced product use such things as ammonia to act as a chemical agent that will make it so that the animals will find your attic to be an area that is far from accommodating for them. The smell of the chemical can become an irritant and will lead to them vacating your house. At least, that’s the idea behind it.

The truth of the matter is that the vast majority of repellents do not have any kind of positive effect on keeping wild animals away. Despite the claims that are made with many of these products, they simply don’t work. The only action that they really provide for you is by helping to remove your money from your wallet. Other than that, you will find that they provide a very limited amount of success.
The only exception to that rule are eviction fluids. These can be extremely effective in getting rid of an animal from the inside of your home. Because of the compounds that are used inside product you will have a greater amount of success in getting an animal to leave your attic. This is why they are recommended far above such things as repellents.
If this is not available to you or if you find that the stench is just too strong for you. Then you should be aware that there are other means to get a wild animal out of your house beyond using a repellent. A one-way eviction funnel is one of the best options that you can use, primarily because you don’t need to really do anything but attach the funnel to the outside of your home where the animal is gaining access into your attic. The funnel will do all the rest of the work for you without you ever having to worry about coming in contact with the animal at all.
