Squirrel Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some common questions about squirrels.

  • Why are squirrels getting into my house?

    Squirrels usually enter homes while searching for shelter, warmth, or a secure place to raise their young, often using rooflines, attic vents, chimneys, or damaged soffits as entry points.

  • Are squirrels dangerous to have in the attic?

    Squirrels can cause serious property damage by chewing on wiring, insulation, and wood structures, and their presence can also introduce parasites, noise issues, and long-term contamination concerns.

  • What time of year are squirrel problems most common?

    Squirrel activity inside homes is most common in late winter and early spring, as well as late summer and early fall, which align with their breeding and nesting cycles.

  • How do professionals remove squirrels from a home?

    Professional wildlife removal focuses on humane exclusion methods, identifying and sealing entry points, removing nesting materials, and preventing re-entry through structural repairs and deterrent strategies.

  • Will squirrels come back after removal?

    If entry points are not properly addressed and reinforced, squirrels or other wildlife may return, which is why comprehensive exclusion and repair work is essential after removal.
