That\u2019s why <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/biofriendlyplanet.com\/how-humane-wildlife-removal-works-protecting-animals-and-property\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">humane removal methods<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> are advocated. They focus on letting the animal leave safely while making sure they can\u2019t come back. You can use one-way exit doors that let squirrels or bats leave through them without re-entering. Once they\u2019re out, the entry holes get sealed up.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Your approach should be clean and effective in the long run. Killing or trapping animals without fixing the root cause just opens the door for more to take their place.
