"Prompt, professional and excellent communication. Came out and accessed the issue (Squirrels in atitic) then thoroughly explained the plan to remove them and to seal open areas to prevent reentry."

Squirrels are pests and they can cause a lot of damage once they move into your home. They widen holes in your roof and their nests can ruin your insulation. When they chew their way inside to your garage or attic, they can also chew through your wiring. But trying to remove them yourself is dangerous because they can carry diseases like tick fever, powassan encephalitis, and rabies. Call a local squirrel removal company instead.
Professional squirrel removal companies don't just get rid of these critters. They also inspect your home for exterior damage and entry points so you don't have to worry about squirrels moving right back in. They may recommend, for example, installing a chimney screen to prevent squirrels from entering a chimney. Pros can also decontaminate the nest area and remove any dead animals reduce allergens and mitigate risk of disease.
If you're not sure that a noise in the attic is a squirrel, call in the pros. They can quickly schedule an inspection and look for signs of squirrels or nests. They can also search for signs of other pests that might be burrowing into your home.
Every neighborhood has squirrels, but they can be destructive (and possibly dangerous) once they get into your home. Type in your zip code and HomeAdvisor will connect you with squirrel control companies near you.
