How We Remove Squirrels Safely and Effectively
We follow a simple, three-step process to remove squirrels from your home or business, ensuring minimal disruption and long-term protection.
Step 1: Inspection and Assessment
The first and most crucial step in our squirrel removal process is conducting a thorough inspection of your property. Our team will carefully assess both the interior and exterior of your home to determine where the squirrels are entering. Squirrels are highly agile and can exploit even the tiniest of gaps—whether it’s a hole in the roof, a gap in the chimney, or gaps in the foundation. They are notorious for gaining access through damaged vents, loose siding, and even weakened roofing materials.
We’ll check your attic, crawl spaces, and any other areas where squirrels may have settled in. By identifying both the active and potential access points, we can build a detailed plan to address the issue and prevent future infestations. This careful inspection allows us to create a customized strategy that targets the exact problem areas as well as areas that could be a problem in the future.
Step 2: Trapping and Safe Removal
Once we’ve identified the points of entry, our next step is to set up our patented trapping system. This method is known as Positive-Set Trapping, where we strategically place traps directly over the entry points used by squirrels. Step 2 and Step 3 (sealing/exclusion) are usually done in conjunction with one another. This is to prevent animals from entering the structure in secondary areas during the trapping process. This ensures that the only way in or out of your home is through the trap, and the squirrels are captured effectively.
We utilize high-quality traps designed specifically for capturing squirrels. We have a variety of trap styles that allow us to trap squirrels in any unique situation. Our trapping system is designed for optimal efficiency, and we take extra care to ensure its positioned in the best possible locations to guarantee success.
Step 3: Sealing Entry Points
The final step in the squirrel removal process is securing your home and preventing future infestations. Again, this work is usually performed at the same time as the trapping service. It is crucial to address all potential re-entry points. Squirrels are persistent and will look for any available way to get back inside. That’s why we take the time to thoroughly seal all access points with durable, high-quality materials.
We use top-of-the-line sealing methods to ensure that every hole, gap, or compromised area is securely closed off. This includes reinforcing rooflines, repairing damaged vents, and installing chimney caps where needed. For areas that are more vulnerable, we may even apply custom metal patches for extra protection. This step is essential in ensuring that squirrels cannot return and re-establish themselves in your attic or walls.
Our sealing efforts go beyond just covering visible holes. We also examine the entire perimeter of your home, including gutters, vents, and other areas where squirrels are likely to gain access. By fully sealing off potential entry points, we create a barrier that effectively blocks out squirrels and other pests from getting back in.
