Our Detailed Squirrel Removal Service
Our comprehensive squirrel removal service is designed to address all aspects of squirrel infestations, from initial assessment to long-term prevention. We'll identify all access points and provide recommendations on how to properly secure and fix them for future squirrel-proofing.
Inspection and Assessment
Our process begins with a thorough inspection of your property to identify the extent of the squirrel infestation, entry points, and nesting areas. This assessment allows us to create a tailored removal plan to be most effective. We can also assess if further treatments such as termite treatment are needed.
Humane Removal Techniques
We employ humane trapping and relocation methods to remove squirrels from your property without causing them harm. Our technicians are trained in the safe and ethical handling of wildlife.
Exclusion and Prevention
Once the squirrels are removed, we focus on preventing their return. This includes sealing entry points, reinforcing vulnerable areas, and providing advice on habitat modification to make your property less attractive to squirrels.
Sanitization and Damage Repair
Squirrels can leave behind droppings and nesting materials that pose health risks. We offer sanitization services to clean and disinfect affected areas. We provide suggestions for repairing any damage caused by squirrels, such as chewed wires or damaged insulation.
Understanding Squirrel Behavior
Understanding squirrel behaviour is crucial in solving infestation issues. Did you know, for instance, that squirrels rarely travel more than a mile from where they were born? This helps us tailor our relocation efforts to be as humane and effective as possible.
The Importance of Sealing Entry Points
Sealing entry points is one of the most critical steps in preventing future squirrel infestations. Squirrels can squeeze through incredibly small openings, so it’s essential to seal even tiny cracks and gaps. We always recommend professional solutions.
Common Problems Caused by Squirrel Infestations
Squirrels may seem harmless, but they can create numerous problems for homeowners. Recognizing these issues early can help you take proactive measures to address infestations before they escalate.
Damage to Electrical Wiring
Squirrels often gnaw on electrical wiring, posing a significant fire hazard. Replacing damaged wiring can be expensive and time-consuming. Our squirrel removal service includes identifying damaged wiring and recommending professional repair options.
Destruction of Insulation
Squirrels frequently tear apart insulation to create nests, reducing your home’s energy efficiency and increasing your utility bills. Damaged insulation can also lead to moisture problems and mold growth. By promptly addressing squirrel issues, you can save on energy costs and prevent further damage.
Contamination of Attics and Crawl Spaces
Squirrel droppings and urine can contaminate attics and crawl spaces, creating unsanitary conditions and posing health risks. Proper sanitization is essential to eliminate these contaminants and prevent disease transmission. Our comprehensive service includes thorough cleaning and disinfection to restore a healthy environment. We can prevent problems with cockroaches with a pest control treatment too.
Blocked Gutters and Downspouts
Squirrels often build nests in gutters and downspouts, leading to blockages that can cause water damage to your home’s foundation and siding. Regular gutter cleaning and maintenance are critical to prevent these issues. We offer advice on how to maintain your gutters and prevent squirrel activity.
Noises in Walls and Ceilings
The scurrying and scratching sounds of squirrels in your walls and ceilings can be incredibly disruptive and stress-inducing. These noises often indicate a significant infestation that requires immediate attention. Our squirrel removal services can quickly eliminate these disturbances and restore peace and quiet to your home.
Signs You Need Professional Squirrel Removal Services
Identifying the signs of a squirrel infestation early can help you prevent extensive damage to your property. Here are some common indicators that you need professional squirrel removal services.
Scurrying Sounds in the Attic
Hearing scurrying, scratching, or gnawing sounds in your attic is a clear sign that squirrels are present. These sounds are most noticeable in the early morning or late evening, when squirrels are most active. Don't put up with these rodent noises any longer.
Visible Squirrel Activity Around Your Home
Seeing squirrels frequently entering or exiting your home, especially around the roofline or eaves, indicates an entry point. Observing squirrels carrying nesting materials, such as leaves and twigs, into your home is another strong indicator.
Chewed or Damaged Entry Points
Squirrels often chew through siding, roofing, and other materials to gain access to your home. Inspecting your property for chewed holes or damaged areas can reveal their entry points.
Droppings and Nests
Finding squirrel droppings or nests in your attic, basement, or crawl spaces is a definitive sign of an infestation. Squirrel droppings are small, dark pellets that can accumulate quickly in infested areas. A small problem quickly turns into a big problem, give us a call and we fix it all!
Damaged Garden and Bird Feeders
Squirrels are notorious for raiding gardens and bird feeders. Extensive damage to your plants or bird feeders, coupled with other signs of squirrel activity, suggests a potential infestation. We also can help with ant control if they get into your home.
Proactive Prevention is Key
At Austin Pest Pros, we emphasize proactive measures to prevent future squirrel infestations. This includes habitat modification, sealing entry points, and regular maintenance to make your property less attractive to squirrels. Proactive pest prevention is the foundation of pest control.
Habitat Modification
Removing food sources, such as bird feeders and fallen fruit, can reduce squirrel activity around your home. Trimming tree branches that overhang your roof can also prevent squirrels from gaining access to your property. It really comes down to making your home less attractive for pests.
Sealing Entry Points
Regularly inspecting and sealing potential entry points is crucial in preventing squirrel infestations. Pay close attention to cracks, gaps, and holes in your siding, roofing, and foundation. You wouldn't believe just how much even the smallest hole can attract rodents.
Professional Inspections
Schedule regular professional pest inspections to identify and address potential squirrel problems before they escalate. Our experienced technicians can detect early signs of infestation and recommend appropriate preventative measures. We'll treat you like family.
Being proactive ensures pests are never a problem for you.
