Our Detailed Squirrel Removal Process
Our comprehensive process ensures that we not only remove squirrels from your property but also prevent them from returning.
Inspection
A thorough inspection is crucial to understanding the extent of the infestation and identifying entry points. Our trained technicians will carefully assess your property, looking for signs of squirrel activity, such as droppings, nesting materials, and chewed areas. We will also identify any structural vulnerabilities that may be allowing squirrels to enter your home.
Humane Trapping and Removal
We use humane trapping methods to capture squirrels safely and effectively. Our traps are designed to minimize stress and discomfort for the animals. Once captured, we relocate the squirrels to a safe and suitable environment away from your property, following all local regulations and guidelines.
Exclusion and Prevention
Exclusion is a critical step in preventing future squirrel infestations. We will seal off any entry points that squirrels are using to access your home, such as holes in the roof, gaps around pipes, and cracks in the foundation. We use durable materials and proven techniques to ensure that these entry points are effectively sealed.
Roof and Attic Sealing
Squirrels often enter homes through the roof and attic. We will inspect your roof for any signs of damage or vulnerabilities and seal off any potential entry points. This may include repairing damaged shingles, sealing gaps around vents and chimneys, and installing wire mesh to prevent squirrels from chewing through vulnerable areas.
Foundation and Wall Repairs
Squirrels can also enter homes through cracks and crevices in the foundation or walls. We will inspect your foundation and walls for any signs of damage and seal off any potential entry points. This may include patching cracks, repairing damaged mortar, and installing flashing to prevent squirrels from gaining access.
Sanitization and Cleanup
Squirrels can leave behind droppings and nesting materials that can pose health risks to you and your family. We provide sanitization and cleanup services to remove these materials and disinfect the affected areas. This helps to eliminate odors and prevent the spread of disease.
Droppings Removal
We will carefully remove all squirrel droppings and dispose of them properly.
Nesting Material Removal
We will remove all nesting materials and dispose of them in a safe and sanitary manner.
Disinfection
We will disinfect the affected areas to kill any bacteria or viruses that may be present.
Common Problems Caused by Squirrels
Damaged Insulation
Squirrels love to nest in attics because they are warm and protected. To make their nests, they often tear up insulation, which can lead to higher energy bills and a less comfortable home. Damaged insulation means your heating and cooling systems have to work harder, costing you money in the long run. Our squirrel removal service includes inspection of insulation and options for replacement, restoring your home's energy efficiency.
Chewed Electrical Wiring
Squirrels have a natural urge to gnaw, and electrical wires are a common target. Chewing on electrical wiring can create fire hazards, power outages, and expensive repairs. Exposed wires are extremely hazardous and should be addressed immediately. We not only remove the squirrels but also provide recommendations for repairing or replacing damaged wiring to ensure your home's safety.
Roof Damage
Squirrels can cause significant damage to your roof by chewing on shingles, fascia, and soffits. This damage can lead to water leaks, which can damage your drywall, attic, and other structural elements of your home. A damaged roof is vulnerable to the elements and can lead to more expensive repairs if left unattended. As part of our service, we can assess roof damage and provide solutions to prevent it from reoccurring after squirrel removal.
Contamination of Attic Space
Squirrels leave behind droppings and urine, which can contaminate your attic space and create unpleasant odors. This contamination can also attract other pests and create a health hazard for you and your family. Unsanitary conditions can also spread disease or trigger allergies. Our sanitization and cleanup services ensure that your attic is clean and safe after squirrel removal.
Blocked Gutters and Downspouts
Squirrels often bring nesting materials into your gutters and downspouts, which can cause blockages. Blocked gutters can lead to water damage to your roof, siding, and foundation. Water damage is a serious concern and can weaken the structural integrity of your home. As part of our service, we can clear out blocked gutters and offer solutions to prevent future blockages.
Signs You Need Squirrel Removal Services
Scratching or Scampering Sounds in Attic or Walls
Hearing scratching or scampering sounds in your attic or walls is a clear sign that you have squirrels living in your home. These noises are most common in the early morning or late evening as squirrels are most active during these times. Ignoring these noises can lead to more extensive damage and a larger infestation. We can quickly identify the source of the noises and implement a humane and effective removal plan.
Visible Squirrel Activity on Roof or Around Property
Seeing squirrels running across your roof, entering holes in your siding, or nesting in your trees is a strong indication that they are a problem. High squirrel activity around your property means they may be searching for food or shelter, and your home may be a prime target. Our comprehensive squirrel removal service addresses both the immediate infestation and the factors attracting squirrels to your property.
Damage to Roofing, Siding, or Garden
Finding gnawed holes in your roofing or siding, or noticing damage to your garden plants and vegetables, can point to a squirrel problem. Squirrels may chew on wood and plastic to sharpen their teeth or to create entry points into your home. Protecting your property from further damage is essential. We provide exclusion services to prevent squirrels from causing more harm to your home and garden.
Discovery of Nests or Droppings
Locating nests, droppings, or food caches in your attic, walls, or crawl spaces is definitive proof that squirrels have invaded your home. These signs can also indicate the size and scope of the infestation. Removing these materials helps to maintain a sanitary environment in your home. Our sanitization and cleanup services ensure that all traces of squirrels are removed from your property.
Unusual Odors in the Home
A musty or ammonia-like odor in your home can be a sign of squirrel urine or droppings accumulating in your attic or walls. These odors can be unpleasant and can also attract other pests. Unpleasant odors can also affect your indoor air quality and potentially cause health issues. We provide thorough sanitization and deodorization services to eliminate these odors and improve your indoor environment.
