Fast, Effective Squirrel Removal for Your Home and Business

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.

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 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). 

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. 

Squirrel damage to insulation, frayed wires.

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.

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. 

Problems from Squirrel Infestation

While it is unlikely a squirrel will attack a person, the animal still presents a danger inside the house. Squirrels can cause significant property damage and threaten the health of you and your family. 

Health risks linked to squirrel invasions

Squirrels can carry several diseases and parasites that can be transmitted to humans and pets:

  • Salmonellosis
  • Lyme disease
  • Ringworm
  • Tulameria
  • Leptospirosis
  • Hantavirus

Most of these diseases are spread not through direct contact with squirrels, but through contaminated areas, typically with their droppings or urine.

Ectoparasites like fleas, ticks, lice, and mites can live on squirrels. These parasites can find new hosts once they have been introduced into your house. 

Property damage caused by squirrels:

Squirrels can cause a surprising amount of damage once they get into a house or business..

  • Gnawed electrical wires
  • Damage to insulation
  • Large holes or gaps in the roof
  • Wood damage from gnawing
  • Ductwork damage

Why Do Squirrels Enter Homes?

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.

Did you know?

A single squirrel can bury up to 3,000 nuts? Some studies they can remember 80-90% of them. Other squirrels and birds can steal the cached food. Those buried nuts that aren't eaten help new trees to grow!

Can I attempt DIY Squirrel Removal?

DIY squirrel removal is not recommended. It can lead to:

  • Bites or scratches from aggressive animals:
  • Exposure to harmful diseases.
  • Accidentally trapping a mother away from her babies.
  • Violating local wildlife laws.
