Detailed Squirrel Removal Process
Inspection and Assessment
Our first step is a thorough inspection of your property. This includes examining the exterior of your home for entry points, signs of squirrel activity, and potential nesting areas. We'll also inspect your attic, crawl spaces, and other areas where squirrels may be hiding. A comprehensive inspection allows us to develop a targeted removal plan.
Humane Removal Techniques
We employ various humane removal techniques, including live trapping and one-way exclusion devices. Live trapping involves strategically placing traps baited with squirrel-attractive food. Once captured, the squirrels are relocated to a safe, suitable habitat away from your property, with your permission. One-way exclusion devices allow squirrels to exit your home but prevent them from re-entering.
Entry Point Sealing
Preventing future infestations is crucial, and we focus on sealing all potential entry points. This involves repairing damaged areas, such as holes in siding, vents, and roofing. We use durable materials that are squirrel-resistant to ensure long-term protection. We also install chimney caps and vent screens to prevent squirrels from entering through these areas.
Attic Restoration and Clean-Up
Squirrels often leave behind nesting materials, droppings, and damage to insulation. We offer attic restoration services to remove contaminated materials, sanitize the area, and restore your insulation to its original condition. This helps eliminate odors and potential health hazards, ensuring a clean, healthy living environment.
Prevention and Maintenance
To help prevent future squirrel problems, we provide advice and recommendations on maintaining your property. This includes trimming trees and bushes away from your roofline, securing trash cans, and eliminating potential food sources. Regular inspections and maintenance can help identify and address potential issues before they escalate.
Common Squirrel Problems in Owensboro
Gnawing on Electrical Wires
Squirrels are rodents, and their teeth constantly grow. To keep them filed down, they need to gnaw. Unfortunately, they often choose electrical wires in your home, creating a significant fire hazard. Our squirrel removal service not only removes the squirrels but also helps identify and address the damage to your electrical system.
Damage to Insulation
Squirrels will tear up insulation to create nests. This not only reduces the energy efficiency of your home but also creates a haven for other pests. Our attic restoration services include removing damaged insulation and installing new, high-quality insulation to improve your home's energy efficiency and prevent future infestations.
Nesting in Gutters and Downspouts
Squirrels sometimes build nests in gutters and downspouts, causing blockages and water damage. Overflowing gutters can damage your roof, siding, and foundation. Our services include clearing debris from gutters, repairing any damage, and installing gutter guards to prevent future nesting.
Chewing on Wooden Structures
Squirrels enjoy chewing on anything like wooden decks or wooden siding. Preventative measures help address this by making sure there is no overhanging tree branches from your trees.

Signs You Need Squirrel Removal
Hearing Noises in Your Attic or Walls
The most common sign of a squirrel infestation is hearing scratching, scurrying, or chewing noises in your attic or walls! If you are hearing the noises during the day, there is a strong chance it's squirrels and not rats which are nocturnal. Addressing these noises immediately can prevent further damage. Our team can quickly identify the source of the noise and implement a removal plan.
Finding Squirrel Droppings
Finding squirrel droppings in your attic, basement, or around your property is another clear indication of a problem. Squirrel droppings can carry diseases and parasites. Our removal services include cleaning up and sanitizing affected areas to eliminate health hazards.
Seeing Squirrels Entering or Exiting Your Home
Observing squirrels entering or exiting your home through holes in the roof, siding, or vents is a sure sign of an infestation. Addressing these entry points promptly is essential to prevent further damage and nesting. We can seal these entry points after the squirrels are removed to prevent future problems.

Squirrels can wreak havoc on your garden, digging up plants, eating vegetables, and damaging flower beds. Protecting your garden from squirrels might be time to call in a professional. Our services help eliminate populations and prevent future damage of garden areas.
