Squirrels invade Atlanta attics year-round, chewing wires, destroying insulation, and creating fire hazards. We provide complete squirrel removal – from humane trapping and permanent exclusion to attic restoration and damage repair. Free inspection included.
Squirrels are persistent and clever, but they leave behind unmistakable evidence. Here are the most common signs of a squirrel infestation.
Recognizing squirrel activity early is vital. The most common evidence includes:
If you notice any of these signs, do not wait. A small infestation grows quickly.
Squirrels are more than a nuisance — they are a direct threat to your home’s safety and your family’s well‑being.
Squirrels chew through electrical wiring, exposing copper and increasing the risk of attic fires — a leading cause of house fires
Chewed wood beams, rafters, fascia boards, and soffits weaken your home’s structure over time. Squirrels can enlarge a hole to several inches in just days
Squirrels tear out chunks of batt insulation and burrow into loose‑fill insulation, compressing it and destroying its R‑value — leading to higher heating and cooling bills
Damaged or compressed insulation loses its effectiveness, driving up energy bills year‑round as your HVAC system works harder
Fleas, ticks, and mites that squirrels carry into your home can spread to pets and family members, causing secondary infestations
Squirrel waste and nesting debris leave strong, unpleasant smells in your attic. Droppings can also carry harmful bacteria
We combine compassionate trapping with industrial‑strength exclusion. First we remove every squirrel humanely. Then we seal your home so they never come back.
We never use poisons that harm pets, wildlife, or cause dead squirrels inside your walls. Instead, we deploy two proven methods:
Live Trapping – Cage traps baited with peanut butter or nuts are placed along travel routes and near entry points. We check traps twice daily.
One‑Way Exclusion Doors – The gold standard for squirrel removal. Installed at the main entry point, they let squirrels exit to find food but block return. Most colonies clear within 7–14 days.
Maternity Season Care – Squirrels breed in late winter and mid‑summer. Mothers leave dependent babies behind if only a one‑way door is used. We always inspect for babies first, using hand capture to reunite or remove entire families humanely.
No poisons. No suffering. No dead‑in‑wall odors.
Trapping alone is temporary. Squirrels squeeze through gaps as small as a quarter – if we don’t seal those gaps, new squirrels will find them. Exclusion is the only long‑term solution.
We seal every potential entry point with chew‑proof, professional‑grade materials:
Galvanized steel mesh for vents and roofline gaps
Metal flashing for drip edges and construction seams
Copper mesh + expanding foam for small cracks and pipes
Custom vent covers & chimney caps
Soffit, fascia, and roofline repairs
Common entry points we seal: roofline builder gaps, soffit intersections, gable vents, ridge caps, chimney openings, utility pipe gaps, and chewed trim.
The Light Test: We inspect your attic for daylight – any visible light reveals hidden roofline gaps that need sealing.
Result: Even if squirrels stay in your neighborhood, they cannot re‑enter your home.
Squirrels leave behind a dangerous, costly mess. We restore your attic to better‑than‑before condition — decontaminating, repairing, and replacing what squirrels destroyed.
Squirrels cause extensive damage beyond what is visible. When they nest, they often use your attic’s insulation, tearing it apart and leaving behind waste that contaminates the entire area. Squirrels also chew on electrical wiring, wood beams, and stored belongings. Here is how we restore your home:
HEPA Vacuum Removal
All contaminated insulation, droppings, and nesting debris are safely removed using industrial HEPA vacuums to prevent airborne contamination. Damaged insulation is replaced with high‑quality fiberglass or spray foam insulation to restore energy efficiency.
Hospital‑Grade Disinfectant Fogging
We fog the entire affected area with hospital‑grade disinfectant to kill bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and odors. This ensures your attic is safe for your family.
Parasite Treatment
Fleas, ticks, and mites left behind by squirrels are eliminated to prevent secondary infestations from spreading to pets and family members.
Structural Damage Repair
Chewed electrical wiring replacement – Fire prevention priority
Wood beam and rafter repair – Restoring structural integrity
Drywall patching – Where squirrels chewed through
Soffit and fascia replacement – Matching your existing home
Odor Neutralization
Persistent musty smells from squirrel urine and droppings are eliminated completely.
Energy Efficiency Restoration
Damaged insulation loses its R‑value, forcing your HVAC system to work harder. New insulation restores your home’s energy efficiency, lowering monthly utility bills.
Your attic will be cleaner, safer, and more energy‑efficient than before the squirrels arrived.
We don't cut corners. Every rodent job follows the same proven system: inspect, remove, exclude, restore. Here's how we make your home rodent-proof permanently.
Licensed specialist inspects interior/exterior for entry points, nesting, species, babies, damage, and tree access. You receive a photo report and fixed‑price quote – no obligation.
We use one‑way exclusion doors, live traps, or hand capture – never poisons. Daily monitoring clears all squirrels; maternity protocols protect dependent young.
Every gap is sealed with steel mesh, metal flashing, and custom vent/chimney covers. Roofline repairs and tree trimming recommendations keep squirrels out for good.
HEPA vacuum removal of contaminated insulation, disinfectant fogging, parasite control, new insulation, and repair of chewed wiring, wood, and drywall.
DIY squirrel control methods nearly always fail — and often make the problem worse.
Many homeowners attempt to handle squirrel infestations themselves using store‑bought traps, repellents, or sealing gaps with caulk. Here is why that approach rarely works:
Store‑bought traps – Squirrels are cautious and may avoid unfamiliar objects. Professional trap placement and pre‑baiting are required for success
Caulk / spray foam – Squirrels chew through these soft materials within hours. Professional exclusion requires steel mesh and metal flashing
Ignoring entry points – New squirrels will simply replace removed ones. Exclusion is mandatory for permanent results
One‑way doors without baby check – Mother squirrels leave but babies die inside, creating odor and requiring wall demolition
A&A Wildlife’s difference: We are exclusion‑first squirrel removal specialists. We do not close a job until your home is physically squirrel‑proof and fully restored. Additionally, your satisfaction is backed by our comprehensive warranty — if a squirrel ever re‑enters through a sealed point, we return and fix it at no charge, giving you total peace of mind
We provide professional squirrel removal across North Atlanta and surrounding communities.
Answers to common questions about squirrel removal, exclusion, costs, and insurance coverage.
We provide a 100% free, no‑obligation inspection that includes a written report with photos of entry points, squirrel activity, and damage. You only pay when you approve work.
Most residential squirrel removal jobs range from 350to350to1,200, depending on infestation severity, number of entry points, home size, and whether attic restoration is needed. Larger or more complex infestations may cost more. We provide a fixed price upfront — no hourly surprises.
Often, yes — especially when squirrels cause structural damage like chewed wiring, torn insulation, or roofline breaches. We provide detailed documentation and photos to help you file a claim. Check your specific policy, as some exclude pest‑related damage.
Squirrel removal captures and removes existing squirrels from your home. Squirrel exclusion seals all entry points to prevent future squirrels from entering. Exclusion is the only long‑term solution. We perform both.
We never use poisons. Poison causes secondary poisoning to pets and wildlife. Squirrels that die inside walls create severe odor problems requiring wall demolition. We use humane trapping and exclusion methods only.
Most infestations are resolved within 7–14 days, including initial removal, follow‑up visits, exclusion repairs, and attic restoration. This timeline allows for all squirrels, including juveniles, to vacate the structure naturally.
Yes, squirrels are protected under Georgia wildlife regulations. Only licensed wildlife control operators may trap and relocate them. We are fully licensed and follow all Georgia‑DNR requirements.
All exclusion work comes with a minimum 1‑year warranty. If a squirrel re‑enters through a sealed point, we repair it at no charge. If squirrels return after professional exclusion has been applied, we will return and reinforce our exclusion efforts free of charge.
EXCELLENT Based on 121 reviews Posted on Google Val PiperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bat removal is complete. I can honestly say the job was damn near flawless. 1. A rep came out, inspected the area then explained next steps. Once we were on board, he gave an estimate. 2. As scheduled, on time the men came out to begin the removal. Before they began working, another inspection, more indepth, was done. Again he explained what was happening that day then went to work to rid our house of bats. The clean up was good. They worked without bothering me. Any Qs I had were answered. NO BATS WERE FOUND THAT DAY!! My husband was skeptical as he seen bats days before. THEY SENT OUT SOMEONE WITH PICTURES TO EXPLAIN WHY NO BATS WERE FOUND. 👏👏 Great Customer Service!! Lastly, they came back out to disinfect & clean up the 💩 left behind. They sent pictures to show the area was cleaned. We are happy with choosing A&A Wildlife.Posted on Google Chris HarrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fred, Alfredo and the team did a great job on the exclusion work performed due to a concern with attic squirrels. They were responsive to my messaging, and returned for a follow up visit to address an issue. I would recommend working with this knowledgeable team to address any unwanted pest issues.Posted on Google Andrew KalterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fast and friendly service. My inspector/technician Fred was on time, courteous and extremely respectful to my home and property supplied me with pictures and updates throughout his inspection and communicated from start to finish.Posted on Google Eric SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough great things about Alfredo from A&A Wildlife. From start to finish, he was absolutely outstanding. His attention to detail was exceptional — he carefully photo-documented everything he did and walked us through each step of the process. Alfredo consistently went above and beyond to make sure we were fully informed, satisfied, and comfortable with the work being done. He provided regular updates on his findings and clearly explained both the issues and the fixes, which gave us complete confidence in his work. The quality of his workmanship was truly some of the best I’ve seen. On top of that, Alfredo was genuinely a pleasure to work with — professional, kind, and approachable throughout the entire experience. Customer service is absolutely not dead, and Alfredo is living proof of that. If you’re considering A&A Wildlife, ask for Alfredo — you will not be disappointed.Posted on Google christin PerezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started hearing noises in my attic and called a few companies to come take a look. One of them barely stepped a few feet into the attic and didn’t even walk around the outside of my house. A and A Wildlife Solution was a completely different experience. Fred took his time checking both my attic and the exterior of my home explained exactly what was going on and pointed out where the animals were getting in. He was really friendly easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. The price was fair and they were able to get me scheduled within a week, which I really appreciated. Alex came out to seal everything up and did a very thorough and clean job installing the wire mesh. He was also super nice and took the time to explain what was happening in my attic and how the fix would prevent it from happening again. great experience from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone dealing with wildlife getting into their home.Posted on Google Steven LeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really impressed by the level of quality, thoroughness, and friendliness of the amazing crew of Alfredo, Alberto, and Christian. I was having issues with mice and they documented and addressed every nook and cranny, and walked me through everything with pictures when they were done. Couldn't be happier with the service provided. Great job by all three!! UPDATE on 12/11/2025: Alfredo and his family-based crew came out and re-sealed my home from critters. He is incredibly knowledgeable and delivers top-notch customer service. Thank you again, Alfredo!!Posted on Google Don Nell SealsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just wanted to say thank you to A&A Wildlife. Matt and his team provided us with excellent customer service from the initial phone call. They came out within 2days. Provided a very fair estimate and delivered 5-Star service. They replaced and added extra protection to keep those squirrels out for good! If you ever need to get rid of pest in your attic. Give them a call..Posted on Google ChasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. “Terrible experience. This company is a complete waste of money when it comes to rodent control. They charged me a ridiculous amount and barely did anything. Rodents were still running around after their so-called ‘service,’ and when I called back, they gave me the runaround instead of fixing the problem. They didn’t seal entry points, didn’t follow through, and clearly don’t stand behind their work. Save yourself the frustration and call someone else who actually knows what they’re doing.”Posted on Google Dianne MartinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with A & A Wildlife and Home Solutions for two big jobs for our home. The same crew took care of needed exclusion work in our attic and checked the entire exterior and fixed any areas that needed to be sealed. Then they came back the next week as scheduled and removed all of the old insulation, disinfected and cleaned the attic before blowing in new TAP Pest Control Insulation. Everyone in the crew from A & A was amazing to work with. Dustin, who handled the scheduling of the job and did a great job of fitting it into our tight schedule and answered the phone EVERY time I called, you never get that kind of service these days! The crew who handled both jobs was great! Alfredo, Alberto and Alberto (jr), Albertson, Christian and Martin, were all professional, courteous and very knowledgeable. They were quick to answer any question that I had and cleaned up everything at the end of each day. I will definitely recommend this company to my friends and family.Posted on Google Janice HeizlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company is the best! Alfredo came today to check on a birds nest I had in my gutter. Not only did he fix that but he noticed a crack in the wood on my roof that could get water damage. He fixed it for me, painted and caulked it. If you ever need a company to take care of wildlife issues, I highly recommend them.

We feel confident that we will not end up with critters in our attic again!Posted on Yelp Dale Mowery ..Verified What a great experience. Found out we had raccoons in our attic. I called Monday morning and Alfredo was at my door Monday afternoon. Took pictures of all the places where the little demons were getting into the attic and all of the little "gifts" these unwelcomed guest left for us. Came back thePosted on Yelp Ricardo G.Verified We hired A&A to put up our Christmas lights and they were outstanding! On time, professional, friendly and great work. They just came by to take down the lights and store them for next Christmas. I already have them booked to come back in November the week of Thanksgiving to put the lights up again. They have my highest recommendation.Posted on Yelp Debbie S.Verified if I could give 10 stars, I would. Matt is the nicest business owner I've ever worked with. The men who came wer thorough, professional, and really nice. Alfredo came for the recheck. An amazingly nice and accommodating man. Found things that could be a problem down the road. climbed I. my dormer! I recommend without reservation.Posted on Yelp Brandon B.Verified Quite possibly the greatest service experience I've ever had owning Atlanta real estate for 15 years. My review is specifically regarding Joselyn and Alfredo, who not only did everything possible to help me remove a crew of bats from a home I was selling in 3 days, but went out of their way (over a weekend) to make it as seamless, positive, thorough, and as stress-free as possible. Joselyn's coordination had me completed ahead of time with detailed photos, videos, & invoices to assure the buyer, and Alfredo's attention to detail was one of the most thorough displays of problem solving I've ever seen. This included providing a custom last-minute quote that tackled everything unique to the situation. They did all of this while I was located in a different time zone, and once again: over a weekend/after-hours. Can't recommend their services enough. Joselyn's customer service alone deserves the highest of praise. The professionalism & expertise of their crew is unmatched.Posted on Yelp Elliott B.Verified Absolutely GREAT experience with Matt! My Mother had some suspicion of a squirrel or similar "critter" in her attic, particularly at night, so I called A&A to have a look While nothing was found {Whew!), Matt did show me where they could potentially come in and offered solutions to keep them out. He was thorough, answered all of my questions and was clear in his answers and advice. Definitely give him a call. He can mitigate the critters, should he find them. The Boogeyman too!Posted on Yelp Crystal W.Verified I was driving home from the gym a few days ago around 6am and saw about 20-30 bats flying around my home. I watched with shock as they all quickly flew up inside the gable above my garage!! I was obviously freaking out, so I immediately went to yelp to find the best company for this type of situation and found A&A Wildlife and Home Solutions. I called Matt and he sent his crew the next day to check it out. Alfredo, Alberto and Christian inspected the situation. Alfredo gave me a couple quotes based on the situation and we chose the more permanent solution as I do not want any future visitors. They were professional, friendly and honest. They showed me pictures of all the different crevices where bats and other critters could have entered or have entered my home. Best of all, they were able to complete the work on the same day! Thankfully the bats were not inside my attic, but just in the gable. All 32ish bats flew away one-by-one with a little coaxing. They added a drip edge with thick galvanized steel that wrapped around the edge and sealed the house from bats and any other critters that may attempt to enter. All the work they did on the home, looks clean and professional. I am so thankful that I will no longer have to worry about bats living in my home. They are the best!!Posted on Yelp Kate D.Verified Professional and thorough service. We have had numerous wildlife services over the years with animals in the attic. I am very confident we won't have issues on the future. Alfredo is incredible! Thank you, Alfredo, for solving our issues and for making our home safe!
