Signs of Squirrel Activity
- Scratching, scurrying, or chewing noises coming from the attic, walls, or roof.
- Damaged or disturbed attic insulation.
- Chewed or damaged soffits, fascia, vents, or roof materials around potential entry points.
- Chewed electrical wires, wood, or stored belongings.
A squirrel living in your attic can cause considerably more trouble than the occasional scratching sound overhead. Once squirrels gain access to a home, they may build nests, tear apart insulation, and gnaw on wood, electrical wiring, vents, soffits, fascia, and other building materials.
Their chewing can turn a small opening into a larger entry point, making the home more vulnerable to continued wildlife activity and weather-related damage. Droppings, urine, and nesting debris can also accumulate in attic spaces, creating unsanitary conditions and damaging insulation. The situation requires additional care during Ontario’s squirrel baby seasons, when a nest may contain young that cannot leave on their own.
Since squirrels are persistent and may attempt to return to a familiar nesting site, effective squirrel control should address more than the animal itself. Humane removal combined with professional exclusion work helps clear the animals from the structure while securing the openings that allowed them inside.

Why Choose us for Squirrel Removal?
Squirrels can be persistent once they discover a sheltered place to nest, so successful removal depends on addressing both the animals and how they entered. Our licensed wildlife technicians have hands-on experience with squirrel activity in Ontario homes and know where to look for damage around soffits, vents, fascia, shingles, and rooflines.
We focus on humane exclusion using one-way doors, followed by securing entry points with durable, animal-proof materials once the squirrels are safely out. Our technicians also consider seasonal nesting and the possibility of babies before beginning removal, helping ensure the work is completed responsibly.
With a warranty on any sealed areas, our approach is designed to solve the current problem while helping reduce the likelihood of squirrels returning.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Common signs of squirrel activity include scratching, scurrying, or chewing noises coming from the attic or roof, particularly during the daytime when squirrels are most active. You may also notice squirrels repeatedly travelling across the roof, damaged soffits or vents, enlarged gaps around the roofline, disturbed attic insulation, nesting materials, droppings, or chewed wood and electrical wiring. Seeing a squirrel regularly entering or exiting the same opening is a strong indication that it may be nesting inside the home.
Professional squirrel removal begins with identifying the active entry point and determining how squirrels are accessing the home. Our primary method is humane exclusion, which typically involves installing a one-way door that allows squirrels to exit while preventing them from getting back inside. Once the animals are out, the device can be removed and the entry point secured with durable, animal-proof materials.
A one-way door is a wildlife exclusion device installed over an active entry point. It is designed so an animal can push through the device to exit but cannot easily travel back through it to re-enter the structure. Once activity has stopped and the squirrels are confirmed to be out, the device can be removed and the opening sealed.
Squirrels can chew through vulnerable materials, so effective exclusion requires materials suited to the opening and the building. Metal screening and metal repairs are commonly used to protect access points. The quality of the installation also matters because loose edges or gaps can create another opportunity to enter.
Yes, our sealed areas are backed by a 5 year warranty according to the terms of the completed work. The warranty applies to the areas we have professionally secured, rather than guaranteeing that wildlife cannot access an unrelated or untreated portion of the building.
Our technicians will check inside the attic for baby squirrels when exclusion work is being completed. During the exclusion service, the technician can assess the attic when it is safely accessible and look for a nest or other evidence of dependent young. This allows the technician to adjust the removal process if babies are discovered.
Baby squirrels require a different approach because they may be too young to leave through a one-way door with their mother. If dependent babies are present, they need to be accounted for during the exclusion process so they are not accidentally left behind inside the attic. If baby squirrels are found during the exclusion work, the technician can carefully remove them from the attic and place them in a secure baby box outside near the one-way door. The box provides the mother with an opportunity to locate and retrieve her young after she exits the structure, allowing the squirrel family to be reunited outside the home.
Squirrels may return to the roof and investigate a familiar nesting location, especially when the surrounding property provides trees and easy roof access. Proper exclusion focuses on preventing them from getting back inside by securing the openings they previously used.
Repellents and noise can temporarily make the animal leave, but they do not secure the openings they use to enter your home. Even if activity temporarily decreases, the attic may remain accessible. Professional exclusion combines removal with entry-point repairs to address the source of the problem.
Keep soffits, fascia, roof edges, and vents in good repair, and have vulnerable openings professionally screened where appropriate. Reducing easy roof access from nearby branches can also help, although squirrels are capable climbers. Address new roofline damage promptly and avoid leaving accessible food sources around the property.
