Strobe Lights for Attic Squirrels: Skepticism Warranted

Does the Evictor Strobe Light Repel Squirrels?

A $240 strobe light marketed for squirrel/rat eviction lacks peer-reviewed efficacy data. Manufacturer cites anecdotal success only.

Why It’s Likely Ineffective

• Squirrels may simply move to wall voids, soffits, or other dark areas.
• Light aversion doesn’t address entry points.
• No independent studies confirm long-term eviction.

Better Investment

For $240, a professional NWCO can:

1. Identify and seal all entry points.
2. Trap and remove resident squirrels.
3. Install one-way doors for humane exit.
4. Guarantee work (many do).

If You Try It

• Demand a money-back guarantee.
• Combine with exclusion—never rely on light alone.
• Monitor with trail camera.
