Humane Squirrel Removal and Exclusion Services

Squirrels—whether they are tree squirrels, ground squirrels, or flying squirrels—are common invaders of attics, wall voids, and crawlspaces across California, Nevada, Oregon, and Arizona. While seemingly harmless, a squirrel intrusion poses significant threats to your property through gnawing, nesting, and contamination.

ecoPest Wildlife Management specializes in humane, effective, and permanent Squirrel Removal and Exclusion, ensuring the safe removal of the animals and the complete restoration of your property’s integrity.

The Dangers of a Squirrel Infestation

When squirrels gain access to your structure, the damage they cause is often immediate and hazardous:

  • Electrical Fire Hazard: Squirrels must constantly chew to keep their teeth filed. They frequently gnaw on electrical wiring and conduit, leading to system failure and creating one of the leading causes of structure fires.
  • Insulation Damage: They tear, shred, and compress attic and wall insulation to create nests, drastically reducing your home’s thermal efficiency and increasing heating/cooling costs.
  • Structural Damage: Squirrels gnaw through wood beams, roof decking, siding, and vents to expand their entry points or create new ones, compromising the structural envelope of your building.
  • Contamination: Squirrel droppings and urine contaminate insulation and surfaces, leading to foul odors and the potential for disease transmission.
  • Seasonal Complexity: During nesting season, especially in spring, careful and humane techniques are required to ensure mothers and their young (kits) are safely removed together.

Our Comprehensive Squirrel Removal and Exclusion Process

Our method focuses on safe, strategic removal followed by the complete sealing and repair of the entry points.

1. Detailed Inspection and Entry Point Identification

  • A certified technician performs a meticulous inspection of your roofline, chimney, vents, fascia boards, and attic/crawlspace to locate all active and potential entry points.
  • We identify the species of squirrel and determine if a nest or breeding activity is present, which dictates the necessary removal strategy.

2. Humane Removal Strategy

  • We utilize strategic, non-lethal trapping or one-way exclusion devices placed directly over the entry point. These devices allow the squirrels to exit to forage but prevent them from re-entering the structure.
  • If kits are present, we use specialized techniques to safely remove the young first and place them in a protected release box nearby, ensuring the mother relocates them immediately and humanely outside of your home.

3. Permanent Exclusion and Damage Repair

  • Once the squirrels are confirmed removed, we permanently seal and repair all primary and secondary entry points with durable, squirrel-proof materials like heavy-gauge metal flashing and specialized sealants.
  • We repair any structural damage caused by the chewing, ensuring the integrity of the barrier.

4. Sanitization and Restoration

  • We offer complete cleanup services, including the removal of contaminated insulation and nesting materials, followed by Sanitization and Odor Removal to eliminate pathogens and deterrent odors.
