Hearing scratching, scurrying, or chewing noises in your attic? You may have squirrels living inside your home.

Professional Squirrel Removal Services

Squirrels are common throughout Alabama, but they can become a serious nuisance when they move into a house, garage, or commercial building. Removing the animals is only part of the solution. Identifying how they entered the structure is also important.

Whitaker Wildlife & Pest Removal helps property owners address squirrel problems by identifying signs of activity and determining an appropriate removal and prevention plan.

Our squirrel removal services may include:

• Squirrel inspections: Identify signs of squirrel activity and potential access points around your property.
• Attic squirrel removal: Address squirrels nesting or moving around in attic spaces.
• Squirrel trapping and removal: Determine an appropriate removal method based on the situation.
• Wildlife exclusion: Identify vulnerable openings and recommend measures to help prevent squirrels from getting back inside.
• Entry-point recommendations: Address gaps around rooflines, soffits, vents, and other areas that may allow wildlife to enter.
• Damage assessment: Identify visible damage associated with squirrel activity and determine what additional repairs may be needed.

Every property is different. The appropriate approach depends on the number of animals, their location, access points, and any damage that has occurred.

Signs You Have Squirrels in Your Attic

Squirrels can be active during the day, and homeowners often hear them before they see them. Recognizing the warning signs early can help you address the problem before additional damage occurs.

Look for these common signs of squirrels in your home:

• Scratching, running, or scurrying noises above the ceiling.
• Chewing sounds coming from the attic or walls.
• Squirrels repeatedly climbing onto your roof.
• Damaged soffits, roof vents, fascia, or other exterior materials.
• Insulation that appears disturbed or compressed.
• Droppings or nesting material in attic spaces.
• Small openings around rooflines or other potential entry points.

If you notice these signs, avoid reaching into confined spaces or attempting to handle a squirrel yourself. Squirrels may bite or scratch when frightened, and an animal may be protecting its nest.

A professional inspection can help determine whether squirrels are present and what steps are appropriate.

Can Squirrels Damage Your Home?

Yes. Squirrels can cause property damage when they nest inside a structure or repeatedly access the same areas.

Chewed Electrical Wiring

Squirrels naturally gnaw on materials, and wiring can be a target. Damaged electrical wiring can create a potential fire hazard. If you suspect wiring has been chewed, have it inspected by a qualified electrician.

Damaged Insulation

Nesting activity can disturb attic insulation and reduce its effectiveness. Droppings and urine can also contaminate affected areas.

Roof and Exterior Damage

Squirrels may exploit weak spots around soffits, vents, fascia, and roof edges. Existing gaps can become larger as animals repeatedly enter and exit.

Noise and Unwanted Activity

Scratching and running overhead can disrupt your household, especially when squirrels establish a nest in the attic.

Addressing squirrel activity promptly can help limit additional damage and identify the openings that allowed the animals inside.

How Squirrel Removal Works

The right removal plan starts with understanding the problem. Whitaker Wildlife & Pest Removal can help determine the appropriate next steps for your property.

1. Identify the Squirrel Problem

The first step is determining where the squirrels are active, how they may be entering the structure, and whether there are signs of nesting or damage.

2. Determine the Appropriate Removal Method

Removal methods depend on the circumstances, the location of the animals, and applicable wildlife regulations. The goal is to address the squirrel activity safely and appropriately.

3. Identify Potential Entry Points

Removing squirrels without addressing access points can leave a home vulnerable to future wildlife problems. Areas around rooflines, soffits, vents, and other openings should be evaluated.

4. Reduce the Risk of Future Problems

Depending on the property, appropriate prevention measures may include sealing access points, repairing damaged exterior materials, and addressing conditions that allow squirrels to enter.

Important: Entry points should not be sealed until it has been confirmed that animals are no longer inside and dependent young will not be trapped. Wildlife exclusion should be handled with the animal’s safety and applicable regulations in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions About Squirrel Removal

How do I know if squirrels are living in my attic?

Scratching or running noises during the day, visible squirrels climbing onto the roof, disturbed insulation, and damaged roof openings can indicate squirrel activity. An inspection can help confirm the source.

Can squirrels chew through electrical wires?

Yes. Squirrels can chew electrical wiring and other building materials. Suspected wiring damage should be evaluated by a qualified electrician because damaged wiring can create a fire hazard.

Will squirrels come back after removal?

They may return if access points remain open or other conditions continue to attract them. Identifying entry points and implementing appropriate exclusion measures can help reduce the risk of another infestation.

Should I seal the hole where a squirrel enters?

Not before confirming that the animal and any dependent young are no longer inside. Sealing an opening prematurely can trap animals in the structure. Have the situation evaluated before closing access points.
