What is 7+4?

Squirrels removal from the Attic

Squirrels do not need much to make their way into the attic. Squirrels can take the slightest edge, gap, rotten wood, etc., and chew until they make a baseball size hole to gain entry. After squirrels get into the attic, they will find a small area to call their home.

Squirrel Removal is at an all-time high. Squirrels can sound quite large for such a small animal.

The standard grey squirrel is not the giant squirrel there is. The grey squirrel makes up noise and damage where they lack size. 

Unfortunately, if you see squirrels on your roof, there is a good possibility that the squirrels are chewing on your home, which can be a problem. Squirrels don’t need much room to enter and will chew almost anything they encounter. Squirrels also leave a lot of waste in your insulation that can easily cause drywall damage.

Home inspections for Squirrels

Alpha Wildlife can handle all your squirrel removal needs. Our team is prepared to provide a complete squirrel inspection in your home. This means that we look at all potential squirrel entry points in your property, check attics, soffit, crawl space, and other areas, and create a plan to humanly remove squirrels.

Once you realize that you need a squirrel removal service, call Alpha Wildlife to set up an assessment. Every technician at Alpha Wildlife is nationally certified and trained in all things squirrel removal.

When our technician comes to your home or business, we will determine if you have a squirrel issue. If you do, then we will assess the property and present a plan to get the squirrels out of the attic and keep them out permanently.

While removing the squirrels from home, we will constantly communicate with you. You will also have the direct number to the technician should you have questions whatsoever.

Possible Damages Caused by Squirrels

By doing so, squirrels will first damage the insulation throughout the attic. The squirrels will flatten the insulation by walking on it or digging through it. The insulation can also be ruined by the urine and feces left behind daily.

Squirrels can also chew on electrical lines, potentially causing power outages or fire. While it is unlikely to happen to your home, the fact is that it can. Squirrels also chew incessantly, causing further wood rot and damage. If squirrels in the attic go unchecked, the damage can be severe.

While it is recommended that you remove the squirrels as soon as possible, some people will ignore the warning signs and leave them in the attic.

Common signs that you have squirrels in the house

The first signs that people will generally experience with squirrels are quick running or scurrying in your attic, just as the sun rises. This noise will typically continue for a few hours in the morning and again in the afternoon, just before sunset. Squirrels will chew a baseball-sized hole in your Soffits, Roofline, Eaves, etc.

Most squirrels will naturally sleep in your attic at night because your attic has become their new home. 

Once inside, they chew electrical wires, create insulation damage, and contaminate your attic and home with their feces and urine. Squirrels will mate twice a year, which coincides with many areas’ rise in call volume.

Squirrels will mate and have a litter in the fall and the spring. The kit sizes can vary, but they are typically 4-6 per cycle. The female squirrels are pretty protective, so they will run off any other squirrels that try to get into the attic with them. 

You may not know that you have had squirrels in the attic because female squirrels can be quieter. When the noises get loud, the young squirrels start playing and chasing one another in the attic. When it comes to young squirrels, you have to handle them very delicately.

Common Squirrel Removal Questions:

Q: How do you get rid of squirrels permanently?

Q: What types of squirrels are in the area?

A: Grey Squirrels, Red Squirrels, Flying Squirrels, Fox Squirrels, White Squirrels, Black Squirrels

We were really impressed with Chris Mclain’s knowledge of pest control. He was so professional in his explanation of what we needed to have done. His bid was also much lower than our other bid. We highly recommend this company for any pest elimination you need. Michael and Ashley Robilio.

David and Matt at Alpha Wildlife are awesome to work with. We live in Germantown, TN and had rats in our home. They were quick to diagnose the problem and got the rats out of our home. Great work from both of them.

After calling multiple other companies to remove a possibility rabid racoon from my property and was told they could not get to me until the next day, I called Alpha Wildlife. Chris came out within 30 minutes of my call and caught and removed racoon. He said they would check to make sure it was sick. If so they would euthanize humanely. If it was not sick they would release it back into the wild. This made my daughter very happy. I would highly recommend.
