Squirrel Removal

Spring awakens from its winter slumber, and so do the squirrels in our area. Emerging from their dens, they become more active in search of new nesting sites. Unfortunately, your attic, basement, or crawl space might seem like the perfect spot for these bushy-tailed opportunists.

We Can Help You!

Humane Squirrel Removal

Keep an Eye Out for Squirrel Activity:

  • Listen for strange noises coming from your walls or attic, particularly during the day. Squirrels are most active during daylight hours.
  • Unusual droppings or a scratching sound around potential entry points like eaves or chimneys can also be signs of unwelcome guests.
  • Torn soffit panels or damaged roof shingles might indicate squirrels have already gained access.

Signs of a Squirrel Infestation

Squirrels can leave a trail of evidence in their wake. Listen for daytime noises in your attic or walls, watch for mysterious droppings and scratching sounds, and inspect your roofline and eaves for signs of damage. Torn soffits, chewed entry points, and disturbed insulation in the attic can all indicate unwelcome squirrel guests. If you suspect a squirrel infestation, don’t hesitate to contact us for a squirrel removal appointment. More detailed information on identifying a squirrel problem can be found on our dedicated signs of a squirrel infestation page.

Inspection and Assessment:

  • We’ll conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify all potential entry points and signs of squirrel activity in accordance with best practices outlined by the relevant provincial ministry.
  • This includes searching for droppings, damage, and gnaw marks around your roofline, eaves, attic, and crawl spaces.
  • We’ll also assess the presence of any dependent babies, which require special considerations during the removal process as outlined in the provincial Animal Welfare legislation.

Safe and Humane Squirrel Removal:

  • Depending on the situation, we’ll utilize various exclusion techniques approved by the relevant provincial ministry to remove the squirrels without causing them harm.
  • This may involve one-way doors that allow squirrels to leave your property but prevent them from re-entering, following guidelines established by the ministry.
  • Live traps may be used in specific situations, but these are always monitored closely to minimize stress on the animal, as mandated by the provincial Animal Welfare legislation.
  • All captured squirrels will be relocated to a suitable habitat away from human residences, following provincial guidelines for wildlife relocation.

Preventative Measures:

  • Once the squirrels are removed, we’ll seal all identified entry points using materials that are durable and squirrel-proof, ensuring long-term peace of mind for you and complying with provincial recommendations for preventing future infestations.
