Why Choose Us for Squirrel Removal?
Squirrels may look cute, but inside your home, they chew wiring, rip insulation, and cause costly damage. Our expert squirrel removal services safely evict them and keep them from coming back.
Safe, Humane Squirrel Eviction
Using one-way doors and exclusion techniques, we ensure squirrels leave safely without trapping them inside your home.
Chew-Proof Entry Point Sealing
Squirrels gnaw through wood, plastic, and even soft metal. We reinforce eaves, vents, and weak points with squirrel-proof materials.
Attic and Wall Nest Removal
Squirrels often nest in attics, walls, and soffits, bringing noise, droppings, and structural damage. We remove nests, clean affected areas, and restore insulation.
Preventative Tree and Yard Modifications
Squirrels use roof overhangs and tree branches to enter homes. We recommend tree trimming strategies and install roofline barriers to keep them away for good.
Signs You’ve Got Squirrels Where They Don’t Belong
Squirrels can turn your attic into a noisy, chewed-up mess. Watch for these warning signs:
Scratching and Chewing Noises in the Morning
Unlike raccoons, squirrels are active during the day. If you hear scratching, gnawing, or scampering in the attic at dawn, squirrels may be nesting inside.
Chewed Wires, Wood and Insulation
Squirrels have strong teeth and will chew through wood beams, attic insulation, and electrical wiring, creating fire risks and costly repairs.
Squirrel Nests in Eaves and Roof Corners
Look for twigs, leaves, and shredded materials stuffed into soffits, chimneys, or attic vents. These are nesting spots where mother squirrels raise their young.
Squirrel Sightings Around Entry Points
Seeing squirrels running along rooflines or entering a small hole in your home? They’ve likely found a way inside. Blocked vents or patched-over openings mean they may already be nesting.

Squirrel Problems You Shouldn’t Ignore
Squirrels are expert climbers and chewers, making them a major nuisance for homeowners. Here’s why:
Electrical Fires from Chewed Wires
Squirrels chew through electrical wiring, increasing the risk of short circuits and house fires. Their constant gnawing damages everything from power lines to attic beams.
Nest-Building in Attics and Walls
Squirrels tear apart insulation, drywall, and wood to create nests. Their presence in attics leads to costly damage and messy droppings.
Aggressive Behavior During Nesting Season
Mother squirrels defending their young can become aggressive toward humans and pets. If cornered, they may bite or scratch, potentially spreading disease.
Entry Through Small Gaps and Rooflines
Squirrels squeeze through holes as small as a golf ball, nesting inside walls, chimneys, and eaves. Without proper exclusion, they keep coming back.

Squirrel Removal: Your Nuttiest Questions, Answered
How do you humanely get squirrels out of an attic?
Humane squirrel removal usually means using a one-way door on the entry hole. This lets squirrels leave but not get back in. If there are babies, we gently remove them and put them outside for their mother to retrieve. After all are out, we seal the entry to prevent re-entry.
Can squirrels in my attic be dangerous or cause problems?
Squirrels aren’t typically aggressive, but they do cause damage and noise. They chew constantly, which might mean gnawed electrical wires (fire hazard) or damaged wood. They also make a lot of scratching and scampering noises in the attic. It’s best to remove them promptly to prevent further issues.
What if a squirrel has babies nesting in my home?
When baby squirrels are in your attic, we gently remove them and place them outside near the entry. The mother will come out to retrieve her young and take them to a new nest. After they’re gone, we seal the opening to prevent another infestation.
Will squirrels leave my attic on their own eventually?
Squirrels won’t usually leave a cozy attic on their own. Even if they go out to forage, they return, especially if they have babies. Waiting for them to go away likely won’t work, and meanwhile they cause damage. Humane removal is usually needed to ensure they’re gone for good.
When do squirrels have babies in Southern Ontario?
Squirrels in Southern Ontario usually have two litters a year: one in early spring and another in late summer. If you hear activity in your attic around March–April or August–September, it could be a mother with babies. Knowing the timing helps us avoid separating babies during removal.
How can I squirrel-proof my home to prevent re-infestation?
To squirrel-proof your home, seal up any potential entry points. Fix holes or gaps in the roof, eaves, or soffits with durable materials like metal flashing. Trim tree branches that touch the roof and install chimney caps and vent screens. These measures will help keep squirrels from getting back inside.
Should I try to remove squirrels myself, or hire a professional?
DIY squirrel removal is not recommended. Without proper tools and experience, you might get hurt or fail to fully remove them (like accidentally trapping a squirrel inside). Professionals can handle squirrels safely, ensuring the animals are gone and entry points are sealed to prevent return.
