Signs You Have a Squirrel Problem

 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.

Health & Property Risks of Squirrels

Squirrels are more than a nuisance — they are a direct threat to your home's safety and your family's well‑being.

Fire Hazard

Squirrels chew through electrical wiring, exposing copper and increasing the risk of attic fires — a leading cause of house fires.

Structural Damage

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.

Insulation Destruction

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.

Energy Loss

Damaged or compressed insulation loses its effectiveness, driving up energy bills year‑round as your HVAC system works harder.

Parasites

Fleas, ticks, and mites that squirrels carry into your home can spread to pets and family members, causing secondary infestations.

Contamination & Odor

Squirrel waste and nesting debris leave strong, unpleasant smells in your attic. Droppings can also carry harmful bacteria.

Our Humane Squirrel Removal & Permanent Exclusion Process

The following sections detail each core component of your comprehensive service offering, starting with the necessity of full exclusion following removal.

Humane Trapping & Removal

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.

No poisons. No suffering. No dead‑in‑wall odors.

Permanent Exclusion & Proofing

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.

Rodents and wildlife leave behind urine and feces that needs to be removed and areas disinfected.

Attic Restoration & Decontamination 

Squirrels leave behind droppings, urine, nesting debris (leaves, twigs), and parasites. Their urine soaks through insulation, and their droppings can carry leptospirosis and salmonella. We restore your attic through:

  • HEPA vacuum removal of all contaminated insulation, droppings, nesting materials, and food caches (acorns, nuts).

  • Hospital‑grade disinfectant fogging to kill bacteria, viruses, and odors.

  • Parasite control for fleas, ticks, mites, and lice that squirrels carry.

  • New insulation installation (fiberglass or spray foam) to restore energy efficiency.

  • Odor neutralization to eliminate ammonia smells from urine.

  • Structural damage repair for chewed wood, wiring, or drywall.

Squirrel Damage Repair

Squirrels cause extensive damage that must be professionally repaired:

  • Chewed electrical wiring – Fire hazard, requires replacement. Squirrels gnaw on wires constantly to file down their teeth.

  • Chewed wood framing, soffits, and fascia – Structural and cosmetic damage.

  • Torn or displaced insulation – Squirrels burrow into insulation for nesting, destroying R-value.

  • HVAC duct damage – Squirrels sometimes chew through flexible ductwork.

  • Drywall holes – Squirrels can chew through drywall if trapped or seeking entry into living spaces.

  • Roofline, fascia, and soffit replacement where entry holes were created.

Why Professional Squirrel Removal Matters

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

  • Repellents / ultrasonic devices – Proven ineffective for established infestations. Squirrels quickly adapt
  • Killing traps – Often illegal in Georgia without proper licensing. Georgia‑DNR regulates trapping

 

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

Frequently Asked Questions About Squirrel Removal

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 vary, 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.
