Why squirrel removal is important

Squirrels aren’t just annoying to your dog, they can cause serious damage to your property. Many homeowners find themselves dealing with squirrels in the attic. Though you’re most likely to see rats or mice in the attic, squirrels are no strangers to making their home in your insulation. They gnaw through your roof and walls to get access to the inside. Squirrels can also cause damage to areas on the outside of your home. If you have plants or a garden, squirrels will often chew these things or rummage in the soil around in them. This can cause expensive damage to your flowerbed and yard. Our squirrel removal ensures that the exterior of your home is protected from the damage that these critter can cause.

  • Large holes in the roof

The importance of squirrel removal

Throughout Texas, South Carolina, and Virginia there are a lot of squirrels. Each of these states have environments where squirrels can thrive. If there are trees nearby, or right in your yard, squirrels are likely to be around. While there may not be many squirrels in newly developed areas, there are many in the areas where homes are 5-10+ years old.

Squirrel Control – FAQs

How do experts get rid of squirrels?

Hiring a professional pest control company is the simplest way to deal with squirrels in the attic. Pest control professionals are trained to remove squirrels and other wildlife by using live traps and other methods to keep these small animals from returning.

Do squirrels venture out of the attic during the day?

During the warmer parts of the day, squirrels will leave the attic. During the summer, attics become excessively hot. When temps are cooler, squirrels may spend more time in your attic. You may notice a significant increase in noise during the cooler months. The most common noises are scurrying, scratching, and chewing.

How can I keep squirrels away?

The most important key to protecting yourself and your property from squirrel damage is to keep them out of your home or business in the first place. Pest control pros advise against feeding squirrels that appear in your yard or around your business. Rake up any fallen fruits, nuts, or other food that may attract them, and keep garbage cans tightly closed. If there’s a dog or cat that chases squirrel it can help keep them away. If you don’t have pets, a few strategically placed plastic statues may be enough to frighten them and keep them from returning. You can also plant flowers that squirrels dislike – including daffodils, snowdrops, allium, and hyacinth.

What attracts squirrels to my house?

When it comes to food, squirrels are known as opportunists. They have the means and attitude to get what they can get and take it –  including safety, shelter, and food in your home. If you have outdoor pet food, gardens, nut trees, bird feeders, birdbaths, and other food or water supplies, squirrels will be drawn to your property.
