Remove Squirrels and Protect Your Structure
Squirrels may seem harmless outdoors, but once they enter a home or building they can cause serious damage. Attics, soffits, wall voids, and rooflines provide warmth, shelter, and nesting space. Left untreated, squirrels chew wiring, wood, and insulation, creating costly repairs and even fire hazards.
Pestcom Pest Management provides professional squirrel trapping and exclusion services designed to remove active animals and prevent future entry.

Why Squirrels Enter Buildings
Squirrels are driven by:
- Shelter from weather
- Safe nesting locations
- Access to warmth during cold or stormy periods
They commonly enter through:
- Soffits and fascia gaps
- Roofline and shingle edges
- Vents and attic openings
- Chimneys and construction seams
Once inside, they will repeatedly return unless entry points are sealed.
Signs of a Squirrel Problem
- Scratching or running sounds in attics or walls
- Gnaw marks on wood, wires, or vents
- Nesting material in soffits or insulation
- Droppings near rooflines or entry points
- Visible squirrels entering or exiting the structure
Our Squirrel Removal Process
1) Inspection
We locate:
- Active entry points
- Nesting zones
- Structural vulnerabilities
- Any secondary damage
This allows us to create a safe and effective removal plan.
2) Humane Trapping & Eviction
- Use of one-way doors and humane traps
- Safe removal of animals without poisoning
- Protection of non-target wildlife
3) Structural Exclusion
After removal, we:
- Seal and reinforce entry points
- Screen vents and openings
- Secure roofline and soffit gaps
- Install gnaw-resistant barriers where needed
This step is what stops the problem from coming back.
4) Prevention & Maintenance Guidance
We provide:
- Recommendations for tree trimming and roofline clearance
- Guidance for attic and exterior upkeep
- Seasonal risk monitoring tips
Why Professional Squirrel Control Matters
DIY trapping or removal without sealing entry points almost always fails. Squirrels are territorial and persistent — when one is removed, another will move in unless access is blocked.
Professional trapping plus exclusion is the only reliable solution.
What to Expect From Service
Before service:
- Access to attic, roofline, and exterior areas
- Secure pets
After removal:
- Temporary devices remain until all squirrels are confirmed out
- Final sealing and repairs are completed
- Follow-up inspection verifies success
Long-Term Prevention Tips
- Trim branches away from roofs and siding
- Keep attic vents and soffits screened
- Repair loose siding or fascia promptly
- Store food sources and bird seed securely
- Schedule periodic roofline inspections
