What to Expect During the Service Visit

When you call Green Rodent Restoration for squirrel removal throughout the areas we serve, you're getting a professional, systematic approach designed to solve your problem for good. Our process begins with a thorough inspection, where our technician will meticulously examine your home's exterior, roofline, attic, and any other suspected areas. We're looking for active squirrel signs, identifying the species, pinpointing all entry and exit points, and assessing the extent of any damage, like chewed wires or contaminated insulation.

Once we understand the scope of the infestation, we'll develop a customized removal plan. We utilize humane removal methods to safely capture the squirrels. Our technicians will regularly monitor these one way doors and remove any captured animals in accordance with local regulations, ensuring the animals are handled responsibly. The number of service visits will depend on the activity level and the number of squirrels present.

Critically, removal is only half the battle. Our service includes comprehensive exclusion work. We seal all identified entry points using durable, pest-proof materials that squirrels cannot chew through, effectively preventing future re-entry. Depending on the extent of the damage, we may also recommend services like attic cleanup, insulation removal, and decontamination to restore your attic to a safe and healthy condition, which are separate but often necessary steps for a complete resolution.
