Squirrel Pest Control
Squirrel Removal and Exclusion Services
Squirrels in Your Home are a Nuisance
Squirrels are one of North America’s most common wildlife animals, living in close proximity to humans in rural, suburban, and urban areas. Eastern Gray Squirrels, known for their bushy tails and small grey bodies, are commonly found in the Pacific Northwest.
While they may look cute, these animals are technically rodents, and you don’t want them in your home. Once inside, they can chew through insulation, wires, and walls as well as bring in dangerous diseases. If these animals are in your home, you need squirrel pest control services to get them out and keep them out. Contact the team at Pest Pros for more information.
Signs of Squirrels in Your Home or Yard
Most of the squirrels you see in your yard won’t cause an issue unless they burrow underneath your foundation, scale your roof to nest in your attic, or find an opening to live in your crawl space. The moment one of these situations arises is the moment when squirrels become a little less cute (and a little more of a problem). Some common signs you have a squirrel problem in your attic or crawl space include:
- Foul odors
- Unusual noises
- Damage to your home
- Squirrel droppings
- Evidence of nests
Squirrel Removal Techniques and Strategies
A squirrel infestation can put your home at risk for damage and cause health issues for your family and pets. If squirrels are a problem for your home or business, we will create a custom solution to remove them from your property and help you address any damage. The most common methods are direct capture, live trapping, deterrent, and one-way doors. If babies are found in the home, they will be relocated as humanely as possible.
Squirrel Exclusion Techniques and Strategies
As you might imagine, it’s not a simple matter to get rid of squirrels. Even if you remove them from your home, they can come right back. That’s why we also recommend our squirrel exclusion services to prevent future issues. It is vital that you seal any exclusion points into your home as well as cut back tree branches that can serve as gateways to your roof.
If you have a squirrel problem in your home, you should know that these animals do tremendous damage to your crawl space and attic.
Contact Crawl Pros to have an estimator come out, do an evaluation on the damage, and provide you with an estimate to repair your crawl space or attic. While Crawl Pros can take care of exclusion services to prevent animals from gaining access to your crawl space and attic again, we don’t provide nuisance wildlife removal services at this time. Our estimators will be able to pass along a quote from another company who can handle the removal for you.
