Squirrel removal and control services

Squirrels are one of the most common wildlife animals in North America. They live in close proximity to humans in urban, suburban, and rural areas. While they play an important role in the ecosystem to improve soil health and the growth of new vegetation, squirrels can become problematic for people when they build their nests on properties.

How to get rid of squirrels

An infestation of squirrels can put your home at risk of damage and cause health concerns for your pets and family. With almost 100 years of pest control experience, Ehrlich has developed industry-leading procedures for the removal of squirrels from properties.

Watch for these common signs of a squirrel infestation in or around your home:

  • Scratching or gnawing sounds in the walls or ceiling, especially during daylight hours
  • Small entry points or a visible hole in your roof or attic
  • Nesting material or droppings in insulation or other hidden areas
  • Evidence of squirrel damage, such as chewed wires, wood, or ductwork

Squirrels often enter quiet areas like the attic to build a nest. Once inside, they may cause damage. Our technician will locate the entry point and set a trap or install a one-way exclusion device. These humane tools let squirrels exit without returning. For safe, lasting results, it's best to rely on squirrel removal experts like Ehrlich.

Installing a motion-triggered sprinkler or using deterrent scents can discourage digging and nesting. While DIY methods might provide short-term relief, a tailored squirrel pest control solution helps address the root cause of the problem and prevent future visits.

After squirrels are removed, any remaining nest material and droppings should be cleared to reduce health risks and discourage other pests. Our team will clean the area and assess for any squirrel damage caused by gnawing or nesting.

If the attic or wall voids have been affected, we’ll recommend a full cleanup and sanitation plan. As part of our squirrel removal service, we ensure the space is secure and help prevent future nesting issues.

Squirrel prevention tips

Preventing squirrels from entering your home or yard starts with a proactive approach. These tips focus on exclusion, discouraging nesting, and making your property less attractive to wildlife.

 Squirrel exclusion methods

Exclusion involves closing off any entry points in your yard or parts of the house that may allow the squirrels to get in. This includes one-way doors - exclusion devices that allow the squirrel to exit the structure but not re-enter. 

Ehrlich technicians attend regular training seminars to stay up-to-date on the most effective pest control solutions. Ehrlich’s squirrel removal services follow state and municipality regulations.

How to keep squirrels from coming back

The following tips can help deter squirrels in the long-term:

  • Trim plants and shrubs in your yard. Squirrels don’t like a lot of open space, so eliminating heavy vegetation in your yard removes any option of shelter for them.
  • Get a motion-activated sprinkler. Squirrels are skittish and will be less inclined to go to your yard if they have been startled by something.
  • Use a squirrel-proof bird feeder. Bird feeders attract squirrels and other pests.
  • Trim tree branches back away from your house as much as you can. If branches are touching your home, squirrels will use those as access points to climb onto your roof.

If squirrels have infested your home or business, get in touch with us. One of our local technicians can remove squirrels and help ensure they don’t return.
