Detailed Squirrel Removal Services
Our comprehensive squirrel removal services are designed to address every aspect of your squirrel infestation, from initial inspection to long-term prevention. We use state-of-the-art tools and techniques to ensure effective and humane removal.
Inspection and Assessment
The first step in our squirrel removal process is a thorough inspection of your property to identify the extent of the infestation and locate all entry points. Squirrels are adept at finding even the smallest openings, so we meticulously examine your roof, eaves, vents, and other vulnerable areas. During the inspection, we’ll also assess the type of squirrel, the extent of any damage, and any nests or young present.
Identifying Squirrel Entry Points
One of the most crucial aspects of our inspection is identifying all potential entry points squirrels are using to access your home. These entry points can include cracks in your foundation, gaps around pipes and wires, damaged siding, and openings in your roof or eaves. We use specialized tools and techniques to locate even the most hidden entry points, ensuring that no area is overlooked.
Humane Trapping and Removal
Once we’ve identified all entry points and assessed the extent of the infestation, we’ll develop a customized trapping and removal plan that is both effective and humane. We use live traps to capture squirrels without harming them. Our traps are strategically placed near entry points and baited with foods that squirrels find irresistible. Once a squirrel is trapped, we’ll carefully remove it from your property and relocate it to a safe and suitable habitat away from residential areas.
Live Trapping Techniques
Our live trapping techniques are designed to minimize stress for the squirrels. We regularly check the traps to ensure that any captured squirrels are quickly removed from your property. We also take precautions to protect the squirrels from extreme weather conditions while they are in the traps. The success of our trapping methods allows us to remove squirrels without causing unnecessary harm or distress and to follow all Local and city ordinances.
Exclusion and Prevention
After we’ve removed all squirrels from your property, we’ll take steps to prevent them from returning in the future. This includes sealing off all entry points, repairing any damage caused by squirrels, and implementing other preventative measures. Our exclusion and prevention services are designed to provide long-term protection for your home.
Sealing Entry Points
Sealing off entry points is one of the most effective ways to prevent squirrels from returning to your property. We use a variety of materials, such as wire mesh, caulk, and expandable foam, to seal off any cracks, gaps, or openings that squirrels could use to access your home. We pay close attention to detail to ensure that all entry points are completely sealed and that no area is overlooked and this will help stop squirrel from damaging your property going forward.
Damage Repair
Squirrels can cause significant damage to your home, including chewing through wires, damaging insulation, and creating nests in your attic or walls. We offer comprehensive damage repair services to restore your home to its original condition. This includes repairing damaged wires, replacing damaged insulation, and cleaning up any messes left behind by squirrels. We also take steps to prevent future damage by reinforcing vulnerable areas of your home.
Attic Restoration
If squirrels have been nesting in your attic, it may be necessary to restore the attic to a clean and healthy condition. Our attic restoration services include removing contaminated insulation, sanitizing the attic, and installing new insulation. We use high-quality materials and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that your attic is properly restored. By restoring your attic, you can improve the air quality in your home, reduce energy costs, and prevent future pest infestations.

Identifying Squirrel Problems Expert Advice
Recognizing the signs of a squirrel infestation early can prevent extensive damage. These critters are more than just furry visitors; they can cause significant harm to your property. Be vigilant and watch out for these telltale signs!
Noises in the Attic or Walls
One of the most common indicators of a squirrel infestation is unusual noises coming from your attic or walls. These noises may include scurrying, scratching, or gnawing sounds, especially during the early morning or late evening hours. Squirrels are active during these times, so any unusual noises should be investigated promptly. Noise means that squirrels are already in your house which becomes an immediate safety threat.
Chewed Wires
Squirrels have a habit of chewing on electrical wires, which can create a serious fire hazard. If you notice any exposed or damaged wires in your home, it is important to take action immediately. The wiring can also cause other issues such as power outage, and can also cause an electrical explosion. Squirrels can also chew on powerlines outside of the house which makes this even more dangerous and more prone to power outages.
Damaged Insulation
Squirrels often tear apart insulation to build nests, which can reduce the energy efficiency of your home. If you notice any damaged or missing insulation in your attic or walls, it could be a sign of a squirrel infestation. Damaged insulation will result in high bills and a colder house in the winter and a warmer house in the summer.
Visible Squirrel Activity
If you frequently see squirrels entering or exiting your home, it is a clear sign that you have a squirrel infestation. Pay attention to any openings or cracks in your roof, eaves, or foundation that squirrels could be using to gain access to your home. This is especially apparent in the spring and fall time. Squirrels can also come in through the chimney and may be trying to get in your house.
Nests and Debris
Squirrels often build nests in attics, walls, and other hidden areas of your home. These nests may consist of leaves, twigs, and other debris. If you find any nests or debris in your home, it is a sign that squirrels are present. Squirrel can also bring other pests to the house as they are transporting debris into the house. Birds can even come to a house when squirrels make nests because they know squirrels bring bird seeds to eat.
Common Problems Caused by Squirrels
Squirrels can cause a variety of problems for homeowners, from structural damage to health hazards. Understanding these problems can help you take preventative measures and address infestations promptly.
Structural Damage
Squirrels can cause significant structural damage to your home by chewing through wood, siding, and roofing materials. They may also create holes in your walls and attic, which can lead to water damage and other problems. This can create unwanted issues in the house. The attic and walls will begin to mold and you'll have to pay for very expensive mold and removal services. This is on top of the structural damage the squirrel has caused.
Fire Hazards
As mentioned earlier, squirrels can chew on electrical wires, which can create a serious fire hazard. Damaged wires can short circuit and ignite nearby materials, leading to a house fire. It is important to take action immediately if you notice any exposed or damaged wires in your home.
Contamination
Squirrels can contaminate your home with their droppings and urine, which can create a health hazard. These droppings can spread diseases and attract other pests, such as rodents and insects. Contamination is a health hazard and will require serious cleaning and restoration services. The droppings and urine can also smell if there is enough of it and can take several months of airing out to prevent smells from smelling which can cause other issues like headaches and sickness.
Noise and Disruption
Squirrels can be noisy and disruptive, especially if they are nesting in your attic or walls. Their activity can disturb your sleep and create a stressful environment. Some homeowners even find other rodents and pests going into their houses because of the noises created by the squirrels. Ants can also find their way into houses as the squirrels are also digging for foods and sometimes lose track where the food has fallen at. And because squirrels are loud, dogs and cats become anxious
Garden Damage
Squirrels can also cause damage to your garden by digging up plants, eating fruits and vegetables, and stealing birdseed. They can be a nuisance for gardeners who are trying to grow their own food or maintain a beautiful landscape. Squirrel are very mischievous and you will continue to fight an ongoing war forever. You can try to build barricades or other solutions, but eventually the squirrels will get into where you don't want them.
