Squirrel Removal | Integrated Wildlife Management Inc
We provide humane squirrel removal, detailed inspections, and long-term exclusion that protects your home from damage and keeps squirrels from returning.
Humane Squirrel Control That Restores Safety and Stops Repeat Intrusions
At Integrated Wildlife Management Inc, we handle squirrel problems with a careful, prevention-first approach that protects your property and respects wildlife. When squirrels move into attics, walls, or rooflines, they can damage insulation, chew wiring, and create ongoing noise and sanitation issues.
We start with a full inspection to confirm activity, locate nesting areas, and identify every entry point being used. From there, we remove squirrels safely and humanely, then seal vulnerable areas with durable exclusion materials. Our goal is to solve the current issue completely and keep your home squirrel-free long after the first visit.
Signs of Squirrel Infestations in Attics and Walls
The most common early sign is daytime scurrying or scratching noises in the attic, ceilings, or wall voids, especially in the morning and late afternoon when squirrels are most active. You may also notice gnaw marks on wood, soffits, fascia boards, or attic framing, along with chewed electrical wiring that can create serious fire hazards.
Inside the attic, nesting materials such as torn insulation, leaves, or shredded cardboard often appear in corners or along rafters. Droppings, strong odors, and disturbed insulation can indicate that squirrels have been active for a while. Identifying these signs early helps prevent major structural damage and makes removal faster and more effective.

Our Humane Squirrel Removal Process
We begin by mapping travel routes, nesting zones, and access points so we understand how squirrels are entering and moving through the structure. That keeps removal precise and prevents hidden areas from being overlooked.
We then use humane capture and exclusion techniques to remove squirrels safely without unnecessary harm. Our methods are chosen based on your property layout and the time of year, which matters when young squirrels may be present. After removal, we perform a follow-up check to ensure all activity has stopped and your attic or wall spaces are fully cleared.
Preventing Squirrel Access to Your Property
Squirrels can squeeze through small gaps around rooflines, attic vents, soffits, and chimneys, so we inspect these zones carefully. We seal openings with chew-resistant materials such as metal flashing, heavy-gauge mesh, and professional-grade sealants that hold up against weather and repeated wildlife pressure.
We also recommend trimming tree branches at least several feet back from the roofline to reduce jumping access. Reinforcing attic vents and installing chimney caps further limits entry. When these structural upgrades are combined with routine exterior checks, your home becomes a far less inviting target for squirrels.
Safety and Health Risks Associated With Squirrels
Their constant gnawing can destroy wiring, ducts, and wood framing, increasing the risk of electrical failure or fire. They also contaminate attics and wall cavities with droppings and urine, which can impact indoor air quality and attract secondary pests.
Squirrels can carry parasites and bacteria that present risks for people and pets, especially when contamination is left untreated. A professional removal plan helps eliminate these hazards quickly and reduces the chance of repeated exposure. Addressing squirrel activity early protects both your household health and your home’s structural integrity.
