What does a squirrel removal service entail?

Our squirrel removal strategy varies depending on the severity of the situation but always results in a squirrel-free home. Our service includes an initial consultation where one of our pest experts surveys your home and develops a plan for trapping and removal. The key is locating the entry points around your home where squirrels are gaining access. Once these areas are identified, we fit them with a one-way door that lets squirrels out but prevents them from getting back in. For more severe cases, we use advancements in technology to monitor live traps in your attic and relocate the squirrels to a more suitable location.

How do squirrels get into your home?

Squirrels, like many critters, enter homes through any openings they find or by chewing their way in. It’s common in Minnesota to have harsh winters, and many animals look for a warm place to hunker down to avoid the bitter cold. In Minneapolis and the Twin Cities metro area, grey squirrels are the most common nuisance many of our residents encounter. Once inside, they can quickly make a mess and cause damage by chewing through insulation, wires, and wood.

FAQs

Most people report loud bouncing or scratching noises, typically around sunrise and sunset. Chewing damage to structures or the home is another common sign. 

Squirrels may chew on electrical wires, which can cause fires, damage insulation, and damage the roof or eaves of a home.

Squirrels can carry and spread various parasites or ticks that transmit Lyme disease or other illnesses. They may also spread rabies (low chance), leptospirosis (transmitted through urine), and salmonellosis (via droppings), so it is important to control the situation early to avoid exposure to these risks.
