How to Get Rid of Squirrels in Your Attic
A comprehensive guide to professional squirrel removal and prevention
The Professional Removal Process
-
1
Identify Entry Points
A thorough inspection locates all areas where squirrels are entering your attic. We look for damage, gaps, and openings around vents, soffits, fascia, and roof penetrations.
-
2
Seal Vulnerable Areas
Once entry points are identified, we seal and reinforce exposed areas with durable materials to prevent future access while maintaining proper attic ventilation.
-
3
Install One-Way Valve
We leave one strategic opening to install a one-way valve that allows squirrels already inside to exit safely, while preventing them from re-entering.
-
4
Set Humane Traps
We deploy humane traps designed specifically for squirrels as backup to catch any remaining animals. Traps are checked regularly and animals are safely relocated.
-
5

After removal is complete, we clean and restore your attic to eliminate bacteria, pheromones, and contamination that could attract new squirrels.
