Question 1

What is your squirrel removal process?

Accepted Answer

Our proven 4-step process includes: 1) A free consultation and quote. 2) A thorough on-site assessment to identify all entry points. 3) Humane removal of squirrels using one-way doors and traps, followed by professional exclusion repairs. 4) Optional cleanup/sanitization and a warranty on our work.

Question 2

Do you offer humane squirrel removal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, humane treatment is a cornerstone of our business. We prioritize methods like one-way exclusion doors that allow squirrels to exit your home but not re-enter. This avoids stress on the animals and prevents separating mothers from their young. It's the most effective and humane long-term solution.

Question 3

What is 'exclusion work'?

Accepted Answer

Exclusion is the most critical step in squirrel control. It involves identifying and sealing every potential entry point on your home's exterior with professional-grade materials like steel mesh, metal flashing, and specialized sealants. This prevents squirrels from getting back in and is the key to a permanent solution.

Question 4

Do you clean up squirrel droppings and repair damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer comprehensive attic restoration services. This can include removing contaminated insulation, sanitizing the area to neutralize odors and pathogens with professional-grade foggers, and installing new insulation. We also repair structural damage caused by squirrels, such as chewed wood, vents, and soffits.

Question 5

How long does the whole process take?

Accepted Answer

The initial inspection and setup usually take a few hours. The removal phase, allowing all squirrels to exit through our one-way doors, can take anywhere from a few days to a week. The final exclusion repairs are typically completed in a single day after we've confirmed all squirrels are gone.

Question 6

Do you handle squirrels in chimneys?

Accepted Answer

Yes, squirrels often nest in chimneys for warmth and protection. We have specialized equipment and techniques to safely remove them and can install a professional, code-compliant chimney cap to prevent future entry for any animal.

Question 7

How do you know for sure all the squirrels are gone before sealing the entry?

Accepted Answer

We use several methods. First, we monitor the one-way door for signs of activity. We also use visual inspections inside the attic and may place monitoring devices like cameras or non-toxic tracking powders near the entry point. We never seal a final entry point until we are 100% certain the structure is vacant.

Question 8

Do I need to be home for the service?

Accepted Answer

We require an adult to be present for the initial inspection to discuss our findings and the proposed plan. For the removal and repair work, we typically only need access to the exterior of the property, so you do not need to be home as long as we can access all areas of the roofline and foundation.
