Hearing scurrying noises in the morning, finding gnaw marks in the attic, or dealing with clumps of insulation and twigs in the attic?

Squirrels are some of the most common animals that live near people. If you find signs of squirrel activity on or in your home, act quickly to safely remove these rodents. Don’t wait for them to leave on their own. Squirrels could stay in your attic up to three months.

Common squirrel problems can include property damage, health risks, and near-constant noises early in the morning.

Signs of a Squirrel Problem

Squirrels may be small but they leave clear signs of their presence and can cause serious problems.

Squirrel noises in attics or walls

Squirrels make chirps, squeaks, and barks. You will usually hear them early in the morning. You will also hear squirrels moving in your attic. If you hear sounds like scurrying, rustling, running, scratching, or rolling in the morning, those are probably squirrels.

Squirrel tracks

You’ll often see small paw prints in dusty areas or on exposed surfaces. Squirrels have four toes on their front feet and five on their back feet, though the prints may not always be perfectly clear. The tracks are typically paired and close together, reflecting their bounding movement—front feet land first, followed by the back feet slightly ahead.

In insulation, squirrels leave compressed pathways or “runways.” These look like narrow, slightly sunken trails where the animal repeatedly travels between entry points and nesting areas. Over time, these paths become more defined and may appear as straight or slightly curved lines across the attic floor.

Squirrel droppings

Squirrel feces look like small, dark pellets, 3/8 inch long and only 1/8 of an inch in diameter. Droppings can be found in scattered piles throughout the attic (rats and mice leave a trail of droppings).

Insulation damage

Squirrels will damage the insulation by creating nests, traveling through it, and defecating. All of these acts will degrade the quality of your insulation and reduce its effectiveness. That will make it more expensive, but it keeps your house cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Exterior property damage

Squirrel damage to the exterior of your house usually comes from gnawing. Squirrels will use their sharp incisors to gnaw larger gaps along the roofline, in soffits, on shingles, and on roof and attic vents.

Other signs of squirrel activity

There are a few other, less apparent signs of squirrels. Squirrel droppings and urine will create a strong musk smell in your attic.

Squirrels will leave smudge marks where they rub on your wall. This is most evidence at entry gaps or holes.

UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM

WHY DO SQUIRRELS ENTER MY HOME?

During the spring and fall, female squirrels are looking for safe places to give birth. During colder parts of the year, they can also seek warm shelter.

- Bird seeds & nuts
  Easy food sources attract squirrels to your property.
- Attic & chimney shelter
  Squirrels prefer warm, safe nesting sites, especially during maternity season.
- Gaps & weak entry points
  Squirrels squeeze through vents, crawl spaces, soffits, eaves, and roofing gaps.

Spring is Maternity Season

Pregnant females actively seek enclosed, dark, and elevated spaces for their young. Spring attic intrusions frequently involve a litter, which changes the removal approach.

Warmth and Shelter

Attics retain heat in the winter. A small gap near a roofline is all it takes to convert your insulation into a nesting site.

Tree Access to My Roof

Branches overhanging or touching the roofline are the primary access route.

WHY YOU SHOULDN'T WAIT

THE REAL COST OF A SQUIRREL INFESTATION

ELECTRICAL FIRE RISK

Squirrels gnaw through wire insulation to manage tooth growth. Exposed wiring in attic spaces is a documented cause of residential fires. This is the highest-risk consequence of an unhandled squirrel infestation.

INSULATION DESCTRUCTION

Nesting, burrowing, and contamination from urine
and feces degrades insulation value rapidly. Attic
restoration after a squirrel infestation often runs
$2,000 to $8,000, depending on severity.

STRUCTURAL DAMAGE

Continuous gnawing on wooden beams, fascia boards, and roof sheathing compromises structural integrity over time. Entry points also allow water intrusion.

HEALTH & CONTAMINATION

Squirrel droppings and urine harbor leptospirosis, salmonella, and parasites. Fecal matter accumulates in insulation and becomes airborne when disturbed. Professional cleanup

MATERNITY SEASON COMPLICATIONS

A female with a litter cannot simply be excluded – the babies will die inside and create a
decomposition problem. Spring intrusions require a different, more careful approach.

ESCALTING ENTRY

Unsealed entry points attract other squirrels once the original animal is removed. Without
exclusion, re-infestation typically occurs within one season.

FAQ Squirrel Removal

How do I know if I have squirrels in my attic?

Common signs of squirrels in your attic include scratching, scurrying, and gnawing sounds, especially in the early morning. You may also notice damaged soffits, roof openings, disturbed insulation, droppings, or nesting materials. Squirrels can enter through small gaps along rooflines, soffits, vents, and areas where dormers meet the roof. A professional inspection from Trutech Wildlife Service can help identify the animal, locate entry points, and assess any damage to your home.

How do you get rid of squirrels in the attic?

The best way to remove squirrels depends on where they are nesting, how they enter your home, and whether young squirrels may be present. At Trutech Wildlife Service, we begin with an inspection to identify squirrel activity and potential entry points. Depending on the situation, our technicians may use traps or one-way exclusion doors that allow squirrels to leave without returning. Once the animals are safely removed, we can recommend exclusion repairs to help prevent future entry.

How much does squirrel removal cost?

The cost of squirrel removal depends on several factors, including the number of squirrels, their location, the difficulty of accessing the affected area, and the extent of any damage. At Trutech Wildlife Service, we provide a customized estimate following an inspection. Your proposal may include squirrel removal, sealing entry points, and repairing damage to insulation or other parts of your home. We explain the recommended work and its cost before work begins, so you can understand your options.

Can squirrels damage my home?

Yes. Squirrels can cause significant damage when they enter attics, crawl spaces, or other parts of a home. Their chewing can damage electrical wiring, wood, roof materials, and insulation. They may also leave droppings, urine, and nesting materials behind. These problems can become more expensive to address if squirrel activity continues. Trutech Wildlife Service can inspect the affected areas, remove the animals, and recommend appropriate repairs, cleanup, and exclusion measures to help protect your property.

Will squirrels come back after removal?

Squirrels may return if the openings they used to enter your home remain accessible. Even if the original animals are gone, other squirrels can discover the same gaps. That’s why long-term squirrel control involves more than removal. Trutech Wildlife Service identifies vulnerable areas and recommends durable exclusion repairs to help prevent reentry. We can also suggest practical prevention steps, such as trimming branches near the roof and reducing access to food sources around your home.

Is professional squirrel removal humane and safe?

Professional squirrel removal can help protect your family, your home, and the animals. The appropriate method depends on the situation, the animals’ location, and applicable wildlife regulations. Trutech Wildlife Service uses removal methods tailored to the problem, which may include trapping, direct capture, or one-way exclusion devices. Our technicians assess the situation before recommending a solution. We also consider whether young squirrels may be present, since sealing an entry point too early can leave animals trapped inside.

How can I keep squirrels out of my attic?

The most effective long-term approach is to identify and secure the openings squirrels use to enter your home. Squirrels can chew through vulnerable building materials, so repairs should use durable materials appropriate for the location. To reduce the likelihood of another squirrel problem:

Seal suitable entry points around soffits, rooflines, and vents after confirming animals are out.
Trim tree branches that provide easy access to the roof.
Secure bird feeders and reduce accessible food sources.
Inspect your roof and exterior periodically for damage or new gaps.

Trutech Wildlife Service can inspect your home and recommend an exclusion plan designed to reduce the risk of future wildlife intrusions.

Does Trutech Wildlife Service repair damage and clean up after squirrel removal?

Yes. In addition to wildlife removal, Trutech Wildlife Service offers animal damage repair and restoration services for affected areas. Depending on your home’s condition, recommended services may include removing contaminated materials and nesting debris, cleaning and deodorizing affected areas, replacing damaged insulation, and repairing openings squirrels used to enter.
