Common Signs of a Squirrel Problem

Scratching or Running Sounds During the Day

Unlike many other nuisance wildlife species, squirrels are most active during daylight hours. Hearing running, scratching, or chewing noises in your attic during the morning or afternoon often indicates squirrel activity.

Squirrels in the Attic

Attics provide warmth and protection for squirrels raising their young. Left untreated, squirrels can tear insulation, chew framing, and damage electrical wiring.

Chewed Roof Vents or Soffits

Squirrels frequently enlarge small openings around roof vents, soffits, fascia boards, and rooflines to gain access to your attic.

Nesting Materials

Leaves, insulation, twigs, and shredded paper inside the attic often indicate squirrels have established a nest.

Frequently Asked Questions About Squirrel Removal

Why do squirrels get into attics?

Squirrels seek warm, protected areas to build nests and raise their young. Attics provide shelter from predators and weather, making them one of the most common places for squirrel infestations.

How do squirrels get into my home?

Squirrels often enter through damaged soffits, roof vents, chimneys, fascia boards, and gaps along the roofline. During our inspection, we identify and document every potential entry point.

While squirrels generally avoid people, they can cause significant property damage by chewing electrical wiring, damaging insulation, and creating fire hazards. They may also carry parasites and contaminate attic spaces with droppings.

Will removing the squirrels keep them from coming back?

Removing the squirrels is only part of the solution. Permanent results require sealing the openings they used to enter your home. That's why our exclusion services are an important part of the process.

Our technicians inspect for nesting activity and develop the safest removal plan based on the situation. Special care is taken to ensure the entire squirrel family is removed appropriately before exclusion work begins.
