Here are some great tips on how you can get rid of squirrels from your South Hudson home for sale on your own, without having to break your bank!

Block Their Entrance

Find out where the squirrels are entering into your South Hudson home’s attic and cover any holes so no more squirrels can get in, except for one so they can use it to exit your home. Cover your chimney with wire mesh if you have one so no more squirrels can get in. Also be sure to secure any openings from your attic to the rest of your South Hudson home so any panic stricken squirrels don’t try to flee into the rest of your home.

You want to make sure every possible entry point is blocked so they don’t regain entry once you have them out!

Create An Exit

Create a funnel out of metal or wire mesh and be sure the funnel is about 1 foot long, an about a foot wide. Attach the wide end of the funnel to the hole on the outside of your South Hudson’s home. Usually if the animal can leave out of the small hole, they will be able to re-enter as well, so just be careful. Try placing some food such as apple slices or peanuts at the hole of the opening to draw the squirrels out, or just wait for them to leave on their own to gather food.

Once they are out make sure to board up the hole or put mesh on it so that can’t regain entry.

Trapping Squirrels

You can usually find a trap at your local hardware store. When purchasing a trap for a squirrel please keep in mind that in a larger cage the squirrel may begin to panic and harm themselves. Usually a cage that is 6 inches, by 6 inches, by 18 inches will be perfect for a small animal like a squirrel. Read the directions that come with the trap and be sure you know how to set it properly!

Put some food in the cage that appeals to a squirrel such as peanut butter, apple slices, peanuts, soda crackers, or pieces of bread crust otherwise the squirrels may not even go near the trap. Make sure the food is placed far enough inside the cage so the animal can’t grab it through the sides.

Set it up, and wait for the trap to work its magic.

Catch, then Release

Once you have trapped the squirrel, you will need to release it. But first, be sure to check your South Hudson attic for baby squirrels. The babies will be helpless without their mother, and you will need to relocate them with her so they don’t die. The best thing for you to do is relocate them far away from your South Hudson’s home for sale in a wooded area where they can hopefully find their new home in a tree, rather than inside your attic.

Make sure you wear thick heavy gloves when you are releasing the squirrel from the trap. If the squirrel is angry, you wouldn’t want to get bit, or attacked. You can also use a string or rope to open the cage from a distance.

Make sure they don't come back

Be sure to keep the trap filled with food in your South Hudson attic for a few weeks longer to be sure all the squirrels have left your home. Patch up the holes in your home as well so they can’t try to re-enter. Try leaving your attic light on, or purchase some squirrel repellent from the store, rags soaked in household ammonia work too. Also, leaving a radio on in your attic, or purchasing an ultrasonic repellent may work for you as well.

Hiring a home inspector is a very important part of your home buying process. When you are choosing an inspector to check out your South Nashua home for you, be sure to ask them how much experience they have. You don’t want to hire someone with a poor inspection background because they may miss something very important!

Typically, an inspection report is 20 or more pages long. Most inspectors, and Real Estate agents think the buyer should use the inspection to generate a list of repairs that should be accomplished. If the seller is aware of these issues beforehand they should work on any major repairs before they sell their South Nashua home to make it more valuable. If the buyer doesn't like the results of an inspection report, they have the right to ask the owner to fix the items, keep it as is or exit the contract and look for a new home. Typically the buyer and the seller will come to an agreement on what repairs will be remedied and move toward a closing on their South Nashua home for sale.

What a buyer usually doesn’t always realize is that once they find a new home, they will have to pay for that home to be inspected as well. Inspections range from about $300-$500 and they are non-refundable. If there are problems with the home you want to purchase, you should decide how much those repairs will cost before you leave the contract. If yo can't come to a reasonable agreement with the seller it may be better to find a new South Nashua home for sale and pay for another inspection. However, you never know if the next home you find will have more issues than the previous one, or not.

When purchasing a home that is being sold to you by the owner, you need to remember that it is not a brand new home. Used homes that have been lived in will have some wear and tear on the home. If you are looking for something perfect, definitely consider looking into a brand new home. Instead of breaking a deal over repairs, it would make more sense to buy a home warranty in the event that something breaks. There are home warranties available for under $500! Some sellers may even be willing to pay for a home warranty instead of repairs.

Unfortunately, some home inspectors lack people skills, and fail to explain their findings properly. There have been some complaints about home inspectors who use verbiage in their reports such as “may in the future,” or “could potentially.” The words “may” and “potentially” mean that there is a possibility of something happening, not a guarantee. When people are getting houses inspected, they want to know exactly what is wrong, and what to do to fix it. What inspectors don’t seem to understand is that buyers take these statements as “ you’re house is falling apart” or “don’t buy this!”

To be sure a home inspector won’t kill your South Nashua deal, it's important that buyers and sellers use an experienced agent. Also, make sure you ask questions about the inspection. If they use words like “may” or “potentially” ask the inspector why they said that. Have them explain to you why they think something could go wrong with whatever object they stated, in the future. Be sure your agent shows up at the inspection to help you ask those needed questions.

The purpose of a home inspection is not to have the seller fix every single item in the contained report, that would be unreasonable, but more so to help the buyer see any huge issues that make the cost of the house go down. Buyers have the right to ask the sellers to fix something, but sellers also have the right to say no. There are always going to be a list of repairs that need to be fixed in your South Nashua home but the sellers are not going to be willing to fix every leaky faucet or toilet flange but more likely to fix a leaking roof or failed septic. It is more reasonable to understand this information about your South Nashua home for sale at the onset.

Don’t let the home inspector break your deal! Be sure that the home inspector and the buyers agent are present for you as a buyer to ask questions. They can help you understand things you don't understand about the home. It could be as simple as where a light switch may be, or how to turn on the lights to the pool or more complicated like finding the shut valves or changing the settings on your water heater. That way you don't worry about items that may not even be broken.

When it starts to get cold outside bats may look find comfort in your warm Southern NH home. I know how scary it can be to think the bats are going to harm you, or your family. What if they turn into vampires? You’ll be surprised to learn that vampires aren't real, and bats are actually harmless, and sometimes even cute. When they aren’t in your home, of course!!!

There are about 40 different species of bats in the United States which can inhabit your Southern NH home for sale. The most common Bats found in North America are The Little Brown Bat, The Big Brown Bat, and The Mexican Free-Tailed Bat. Those are the three species of Bats that are most likely to reside in your home and likely in the attic.

Here are several different ways to keep bats out of your Southern NH home for sale:

Start by finding out how they are getting into your home!

If you have bats in your Southern New Hampshire home, they are getting in somewhere! Figure out where they are getting in, and board up and close the area, or set up a one way exclusion device. This is a small tube where bats can get out of your Southern NH home for sale but can not re-enter. Denying bats reentry is preferable to trapping them, which can also be dangerous.

Exclusion devices can be purchased at a pet store, or a home improvement center! They are also fairly easy to install in your Southern NH home. 

Be Careful Not To Harm The Bats

There are many different species of bats that are endangered. Please be careful if you manually remove them from your Southern NH home yourself. If you harm the bats and anyone finds out about it, you could have a hefty fine to pay or face jail time. Make sure to always remember that bats are endangered and it is illegal to kill them.

Dispose of Any Waste They Create

Bat droppings are small round pellets called guano which can be harmful. The guano can grow a type of fungus that can cause the lung disease histoplasmosis in humans. Guano has a very powerful, musty smell that can often overpower your Southern NH house. The bat droppings and urine are corrosive to wood and metal, and can compromise the structural integrity of the building.  The droppings and the scent will lure in other animals and insects, so be sure to clean everything thoroughly. 

Call A Professional

If you are questioning whether it is bat guano or just don't know what it is call a pest professional. If you do not think you can remove the bats from your Southern NH home for sale safely and efficiently without harming them or yourself, please call a professional! Exterminators are trained and have the proper equipment. They can get rid of the bats safely and board up all the entrance points that they can squeeze through. And trust us when we tell you, they can get through some small openings.

Whether you are moving across Nashua NH, or out of NH you want a stress free move. Making a list and having a plan ahead of time will really help and keep you more organized during your moving process.

Here are 10 tips for your move:

1. Throw away items that you don’t use anymore.

​There is no need to bring useless items on your move to South Nashua NH. Either toss the items, give them away, sell the items, or donate the items to your local charity. You'll be helping fray costs for others or for yourself and in the long run it's not worth the extra hassle if you don't use the items anymore.

2. Decide if you are going to move alone, or if you will be hiring a mover.

If you choose to hire a mover be sure to interview a few different ones and find the best fit for you. Depending on the company, the movers and the cost will make a difference for you personally. Do they have a good reputation? Do they cost too much? Will they be on time? Check out their ratings and reviews online to know more about them. These are all questions you should be asking yourself.

3. If you plan to pack up your items on your own, start doing this ahead of time.

You don’t want to pack last minute and be in a time crunch that causes more stress. Ask for help from your family and friends if need be. If the movers have to pack for you there will be an additional cost added to your bill. Also make sure to label all your boxes so you are not searching endlessly for items that you might need after the move to your South Nashua home.

4. Begin using your food that’s been stored in your freezer or pantry.

​The less you have to move with you to your new South Nashua home, the better. You can always buy more food after you’re settled in. If there is food you aren’t going to eat, or don't have time to make, donate it to your local food pantry or soup kitchen, it wont go unappreciated or wasted! It will save you time and potentially use items that may have gone unnoticed for a while.

5. Prepare to have your utilities shut off or transferred if they aren't a part of your monthly rent. 

Call your utility companies and give them enough notice so they can get it taken care of before your move. Don’t forget that some companies may have a fee to turn off utilities and transfer them to a different location. Also, some utilities may take a few days to transfer so don't wait until the last second.

6. Start to notify all your credit card companies, schools, banks, doctors, insurance companies, etc. 

They will need to know where you will be moving so they can change that information in their systems. Make sure to send a change of address to the local post office so your mail isn't sent to your previous address. If you have missing bills that could end up being a real problem.

7. Pack a box with necessities!

Items such as toilet paper, hand sanitizer, wipes, paper towels, cleaning products, a hammer and screwdriver, packing tape, a cell phone charger, ziplock bags, paper cups and plates, as well as plastic utensils, a pen and notepad, a first aid kit, snacks and plenty of water to keep hydrated while you are moving. Having a box of all the necessary items in a convenient place will make life so much easier during the first week when you may still be unpacking.

8. Have cash on hand.

​You may need cash or a card on the ready to purchase unexpected items that may come up. You never know what is truly going to fit into your new place until you get there. Expect the unexpected! Sometimes your couches and furniture won't fit in the new place due to lack of space or different openings on doors that may be hard to get through.

9. Keep your important papers and documents with you.

You might need them when you are driving, especially if you are moving out of state. You don’t want anything important to be misplaced or packed away where you can’t get ahold of it. If you have valuable items like jewelry or hard to replace items like passports you will want to make sure you keep them handy so they don't disappear. 

10. Always accept help from your family and friends.

Moving can be very stressful so if there is anything they are willing to help you with, let them help! A helping hand is always appreciated, just remember though that they may need you too so be ready to help them when they need it too.

Unfortunately, not everyone likes animals. If a buyer walks into your South Hudson NH home for a showing and it smells like urine, feces, or an animal in general, they will no longer be interested! Removing all signs of pets before your home is listed then selling it is the easiest route but not always possible. Be sure to clean your home before any showings and repair any damage your pet may have caused.

Before cleaning your home you should try to relocate your pet so no more accidents happen. Cleaning products can be very harmful and toxic to most pets, so you want to be careful with the choices since you wouldn’t want them getting sick and incurring vet bills that can be very expensive. Washing and vacuuming your rugs can remove any lingering odors left behind. Be sure to use something safe that is pet friendly just in case you need to move your pet back into your home, or just in case whoever buys your South Hudson NH home has pets too.

Be sure to clean your yard as well. If your animal has dug any holes in the ground fill them in so no one will get hurt. Many home buyers will ask to see your yard and walk around it. Also, most animals use the bathroom outside, even if they don’t, check your yard just to be safe that there are no landmines that a buyer might step in No one wants to step in dog poop, or see it for that matter. If they do, they may decide not to go back to your South Hudson NH home again if they feel it is a maintenance issue.

Once you have removed your pets, and cleaned your home and your yard you should be okay to set up showings at your home! Good Luck on your new journey selling your South Hudson home!

If you are looking to sell your South Hudson NH home and you have pets give our agents at Harmony Real Estate a call at (603) 883-8840 for more information. Or if you are looking to buy a home and have a pet we would love to find your dream home. We would love to help you on your journey.

Selling a house can be difficult enough as it is, but it can be even more challenging to sell a home that needs a lot of work or updating. Most buyers want homes that have modern kitchens, spacious master bedrooms and updated bathrooms. Fixer uppers rarely have such amenities and need work.

The buyer will either need to have the time and be handy or have the extra money to pay to have the work completed. The key to successfully selling your fixer upper lies in reaching the right audience. With the right real estate agent this task will be much easier to accomplish.

Here are some tips on how to sell your fixer upper in South Hudson, New Hampshire:

1. Find a good agent to help you sell your South Hudson NH house. You can interview a few and decide who is the best fit. Make sure you ask your agent if they’ve sold houses that have needed to be fixed up before. The more experience they have, the easier it will be to sell your fixer upper.

2. Make sure you set a good price to sell your house, especially if it needs a lot of work. You don’t want it to be too high or buyers may pass it up. Your real estate agent will be able to help you set the best price to sell your home at. You want a South Hudson NH agent who will be able to guide you in the right direction and set the best price for your home.

3. Be honest about the flaws in your South Hudson NH house when you are selling. Disclosure is always in your best interest because if a buyer finds out about it after the fact they will want more off the price of the home. Your house may be subject to a home inspection before the sale is completed. So it is in your best interest to be clear about any repairs or maintenance from the onset that need to be taken care of so the buyers don't ask for further discounts.

4. Include headlines with your ads such as “Handyman Special”, “Big Savings For Handy Homeowners”, “A Diamond in the Rough”, “Beautiful Home for a Bargain” or other references to that explain that the home needs work. People want to know what they are getting into. If it’s just cosmetic work make sure to have your information worded properly.

5. If there is something wonderful about your house that you love, be sure to highlight that when you are selling. It might be a good reason for a buyer to love as well. Do you have acres of land, or a large basement that can be renovated to make a larger living space? Be sure to let potential buyers know this important information. That small muddy stream in the back yard that you love, or the giant birch tree that you sit under in the summer to get some shade, the location, or anything else you might love. Someone else is bound to fall in love with the same things as you! 

6. Property investors and contractors can be possible buyers for your fixer upper homes. They can buy the house for the bargain price you sell it for, fix it, and then use it as a way to make a profit by renting it out, or reselling it after they finish the work that it needs. You may even want to highlight the investment potential when placing ads about selling your house.
