When Uninvited Wildlife Takes Over Your Home

Is that scratching in your attic keeping you up at night, or has a foul odor taken over your yard? Maybe you've found overturned trash cans or chewed wires in your crawl space.

Across the communities we serve, we understand the specific frustrations and dangers that come with unwelcome animal guests. We've seen it all, from the persistent gnawing of squirrels to the destructive force of raccoons, and the pervasive stench of skunks. Our team of experienced technicians knows how to identify the intruder, remove them safely, repair the damage, and secure your home against future invasions.

Squirrel Removal

Squirrels might look cute, but they're master destructors inside your home. Homeowners often report hearing persistent scampering, chattering, and gnawing sounds in their attics, walls, or even chimneys, especially during the early morning and late afternoon. The distinct sound of small, quick movements, sometimes accompanied by rolling noises as they move acorns or other food items, is a dead giveaway.

What many don't realize is the extent of the damage these creatures can cause. Squirrels constantly gnaw to keep their incisors sharp, which means electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and structural wood are all at risk. We've seen homes where chewed wires have caused power outages or, worse, created serious fire hazards. Their droppings and urine also contaminate insulation, reducing its effectiveness and posing health risks.

Common Signs of Squirrel Activity:

• Scampering and scratching noises: Especially in attics, walls, or ceilings during daylight hours.
• Chewed entry points: Small, round holes around soffits, fascia boards, or gable vents.
• Visible droppings: Small, dark pellets in the attic or near entry points.
• Damaged insulation: Flattened or torn insulation in the attic.

When we arrive, our first step is a thorough inspection of your entire roofline, attic, vents, and foundation. We're looking for these tell-tale signs, identifying runways, nest sites, and the specific species of squirrel. Our removal process typically involves humane removal, carefully placed to capture the squirrels without harming them. Once removed, the critical next step is exclusion. We seal all identified entry points with durable, chew-proof materials like heavy-gauge steel mesh or custom flashing. This isn't just patching a hole; it's fortifying your home against future intrusions. Ignoring a squirrel problem can quickly turn a minor annoyance into hundreds or even thousands of dollars in electrical and insulation repairs, often requiring extensive Attic Restoration services.

Raccoon Removal

Raccoons are a different caliber of intruder, notorious for their strength and destructive capabilities. Homeowners often describe hearing heavy thumping, growling, or distinct chittering sounds coming from their attic or chimney, usually at night. They're also known for overturning garbage cans, raiding pet food left outdoors, and generally making a mess of yards. The sheer size of a raccoon means the damage they cause to gain entry can be significant; they can tear open attic vents, pry apart soffits, and even lift roof shingles.

Once inside, they cause extensive damage to insulation, ripping it apart for nesting material and using vast areas as latrines. Beyond the physical damage, raccoons are carriers of parasites like raccoon roundworm, which can pose serious health risks to humans and pets. Their presence often necessitates thorough Decontamination & Sanitation after removal.
