Why Squirrel Removal Can't Wait
Squirrels are among the most common attic invaders in the country. They enter homes through gaps in rooflines, damaged vents, and deteriorated fascia boards. Once inside, their constant gnawing on electrical wiring is a leading cause of house fires. They also shred insulation for nesting material and can raise multiple litters per year, turning a small problem into a large infestation quickly. Our team uses one-way exclusion devices and permanent sealing to remove squirrels without trapping — the most effective long-term solution.

- Scratching, scurrying, or rolling sounds in the attic, especially in early morning
- Chewed entry holes in soffits, fascia, or roof edges — often the size of a baseball
- Gnaw marks on wood, pipes, or visible wiring in the attic
- Nesting material (leaves, insulation, twigs) piled in attic corners
- Droppings smaller than raccoon feces, scattered throughout the attic
- Squirrels frequently seen on your roof or entering near the roofline
Risks of Ignoring Squirrels in Your Home
Chewed electrical wiring is a primary cause of house fires — squirrels gnaw constantly to keep their teeth trimmed.
Damaged insulation leads to significant energy loss and higher heating and cooling bills.
Squirrels can carry fleas, ticks, and mites that spread into your living space.
Structural wood damage from gnawing weakens rafters and roof decking over time.
Squirrel urine and feces contaminate attic insulation and create persistent odor problems.
A single female squirrel can produce two litters per year — infestations grow rapidly without intervention.
Our Approach
How We Remove Squirrels
Inspection
We locate all entry points and assess the extent of the infestation and any damage to wiring or insulation.
One-Way Exclusion
We install one-way exclusion devices that allow squirrels to exit but not re-enter — no trapping required.
Permanent Sealing
Once all squirrels have exited, we seal every entry point with steel mesh and hardware cloth they cannot chew through.
Damage Assessment
We document all wiring and insulation damage and provide recommendations for repair to restore your home's safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are squirrels in my attic?
Squirrels seek warm, dry shelter for nesting, especially in fall and winter. Your attic is ideal — it's warm, protected, and often has easy access through small gaps.
Can I use poison to get rid of squirrels?
We strongly advise against it. Poisoned squirrels often die inside walls, creating odor problems and attracting other pests. Exclusion is safer and more effective.
How do you keep squirrels from coming back?
By sealing every possible entry point with materials they cannot chew — heavy-gauge steel mesh, metal flashing, and hardware cloth.
How much damage can squirrels cause?
Significant. Chewed wiring alone can cost $1,000–$5,000+ to repair, and insulation replacement in a typical attic runs $2,000–$8,000.
Do squirrels carry diseases?
Squirrels can carry salmonella, leptospirosis, and tularemia, and their parasites (fleas, ticks) can spread Lyme disease and other illnesses.
