INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A squirrel, much like most wild animals, is just as scared of you as you may be of it. As much as you want the squirrel out of your home, the squirrel's primary goal is also to get out of your house and back to a familiar environment. Animals have a similar anxiety response to humans and respond aggressively to perceived threats to safety. By staying calm, you will prevent the trapped squirrel from having a severe aggressive response. The squirrel is likely to be erratic since it is unsure what to do in the foreign environment of your home. Additionally, a squirrel, on very rare occasions, can be rabid, so don't get bitten by one. You'll want to keep your pets as far away from the squirrel as possible so no fleas, ticks, or diseases are transmitted between them. Move all of your pets outside, into a holding pen/crate/cage, or put them into a separate room immediately. Pets can catch diseases the squirrels carry. Pets can catch illnesses from parasites squirrels have, like fleas and ticks. Disease can be transmitted through a squirrel bite, or potentially a significant scratch. Pets can become serious ill from consuming or biting a diseased squirrel. An example of this is squirrel pox, which grey squirrels are immune to but carry. Even if you evict a mother squirrel from your home, if her babies are still trapped or nested inside, she will expend every effort to get back to her young. Beyond this, a mother squirrel that fears for her young will be more likely to attack. To check for young squirrels you should: Search 20 feet (6 m) around where you've found the squirrel. Avoid invading the space around a potential nest. The mother may attack if she thinks you are a threat to her young. Make some noises and then be silent. You should hear noises from the young squirrels in response. The main squirrel breeding times are February through May and August through October. During these times of the year, it's highly likely babies will be present. Relocating a squirrel family can be taxing on the health of its members, and young might not survive for long outside of the safety of the nest. If you are certain there are baby squirrels in your home, you'll want to call a professional, or you could wait a few weeks before ejecting the squirrels from your house. Baby squirrels only take a few weeks to grow large enough to survive without a mother. Waiting may be the most humane way of getting rid of squirrel young.

SUMMARY:
Stay calm. Isolate the squirrel if possible and separate your pets. Determine if a mother has nested her babies in your house. Allow young squirrels to mature before evicting.
