Squirrel Removal Services

Squirrels are a common type of rodent with several species, including tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots (woodchucks), flying squirrels, and even prairie dogs. It’s normal to see these critters outdoors, especially near wooded areas, but when populations grow too large or they find their way inside, it can become a serious problem.

GGA is a local pest control company that provides humane squirrel removal for residential and commercial properties. Our services include a complete inspection, trapping, removal, and exclusion to get squirrels out of your property and help prevent them from coming back.


Problems Caused By Squirrels

GGA Pest Management Warning Sign Logo - 1
Property Damage

Squirrels constantly chew to keep their teeth from overgrowing. They’ll gnaw on wood, roofing materials, siding, attic beams, and even plastic components. Over time, this can weaken your home’s structural integrity and require expensive repairs.

Electrical Hazards

Because of their chewing habits, squirrels often gnaw on wires inside attics and walls. This is extremely dangerous and may cause power outages, short circuits, and even fire hazards.

Insulation Problems

When squirrels build nests in attics, they tear apart insulation to create nesting areas. This not only ruins the insulation itself but also reduces your home’s heating and cooling efficiency.

Contamination and Health Concerns

Squirrel droppings, urine, and nesting materials can contaminate attic spaces or surrounding areas with bacteria, parasites, and harmful pathogens. These conditions also create unpleasant odors and may affect indoor air quality, especially for individuals with asthma or allergy sensitivities.

Learn More About Squirrel Management

Causes
  • Accessible Roof Entry Points & Tree Branches: Squirrels usually enter homes through small openings in roofs, vents, soffits, or damaged fascia boards. They’re adept climbers and can access your roof by climbing walls or crossing tree limbs that extend over your home.
  • Attics Provide Ideal Nesting Areas: Attics are warm, dry, and protected environments that are perfect for squirrels to build nests and raise their young. Once inside, they can use your insulation, wood, and other materials to expand their nesting areas.
  • Available Food Sources: Squirrels are opportunistic omnivores that consume both plant-based and animal-based foods. If there are accessible food sources like bird feeders, pet food, unsecured trash, or fallen fruit from trees, they are likely to stay nearby and nest in or around your property.
Treatment
  • Thorough Property Inspection: Hiring a professional like GGA Pest Management to inspect your property is the best way to handle your squirrel problem. We take the time to identify how they’re getting in, where they’re nesting, and how many there are. With that information, you’ll get a detailed treatment and removal plan that actually works.
  • Humane Trapping and Removal: Unlike some squirrel exterminators, GGA does not rely on harmful or rushed animal removal. Instead, we use strategically placed, humane traps to capture the squirrels, remove them from your property, and relocate them in accordance with local guidelines.
  • Entry Point Sealing and Repairs: Closing gaps, vents, and structural openings around your roofline helps prevent squirrels from returning. Professionals have access to high-quality exclusion materials such as hardware cloth, vent covers, and sealants that are long-lasting, secure, and built to withstand wildlife activity.
  • Sanitation and Nest Removal: Removing nesting materials and contaminated insulation is one of the most important steps in squirrel control. These areas are carefully handled using proper protective equipment and industry best practices, including gloves, respirators, and specialized tools to clean and restore your affected spaces.
Prevention Tips
  • Trim Tree Branches: Annually trim tree limbs away from your home to make it harder for squirrels to access your roofing area.
  • Secure Vents and Openings: Inspect your roofline regularly and secure any vents, soffits, or openings with vent covers, hardware cloth, metal flashing, or sealants. If you need help with any of these exclusion products, contact a professional to ensure they are properly installed and fully secured.
  • Eliminate Outdoor Food Sources: Avoid leaving out food that can attract squirrels, especially plant-based foods like nuts, seeds, and fruits.
  • Schedule Routine Pest Inspections: Schedule regular inspections with a professional pest control company to help catch early signs of squirrel activity. Treating small infestations with just a few squirrels is much less expensive and helps stop the problem before it gets out of hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, investing in pest control is one of the safest and most effective ways to get rid of squirrels inside your home. However, it’s not possible to completely remove all squirrels from your area. If you live in a wooded, suburban, or rural environment with large squirrel populations, the best approach is to invest in exclusion services and perform regular preventive maintenance.

Common signs of a squirrel infestation include:

  • Chewed wood, wires, or damaged insulation
  • Droppings or nesting materials in attic spaces
  • Strong or unusual odors coming from the attic or wall areas
  • Visible entry points around vents, soffits, or rooflines
  • Scratching, scurrying, or movement noises, especially during the day
  • Seeing squirrels on your roof or entering/exiting the same area frequently

Squirrels are not nocturnal like other rodents and are usually more active during the day.

The most common way professional pest control companies remove squirrels from homes is with traps and bait. Here’s what that process looks like:

  1. Placement: Live traps are set in high-activity areas with bait. Common baits include peanut butter, nuts, seeds, or fruit.
  2. Trap Trigger: Professional traps are typically triggered by a pressure plate. Once the squirrel steps onto it to reach the bait, the trap closes and safely contains the animal inside.
  3. Removal and Relocation: The captured squirrel is then removed from your property and relocated in accordance with local regulations.

Depending on how many squirrels are present, this process may be repeated multiple times. After all activity has been addressed, entry points are sealed to help prevent squirrels from returning.

Squirrel infestations are most common during two times of the year:

  • Fall and Early Winter: As temperatures drop, squirrels look for warm, sheltered spaces.
  • Spring: This time of year is breeding season, which leads squirrels to seek protected areas where they can raise their young.
