Squirrel Removal, Control, & Exclusion Services
Safe, Humane, and Effective Removal for Your Home and Yard
Seeing Chewed Wires or Nesting Materials?
Get Professional Squirrel Removal Services You Can Trust
Squirrels may look harmless with their bushy tails and playful behavior, but once they invade your attic, crawl space, or yard, they can cause serious property damage, health risks, and safety concerns. From chewing electrical wires (fire hazard) to nesting in insulation and carrying parasites like fleas and ticks, squirrels can quickly turn from cute visitors to destructive wild creatures.
Here at NOCO Pest Solutions, we specialize in humane squirrel control and removal. Our licensed wildlife technicians use proven exclusion methods, live trapping, and long-term prevention strategies to protect your home and yard, without harming the animals or the environment.
The Hidden Dangers of a Squirrel Infestation
Why Squirrel Control is Essential for Homeowners
Don’t let their bushy tails fool you. Many homeowners underestimate the damage squirrels can do.
Here’s why timely removal is critical:
- Structural Damage: Squirrels have incredibly strong teeth that constantly grow, leading them to gnaw on wood, siding, insulation, and—most dangerously—electrical wiring, which creates a significant fire hazard.
-
Health Risks: Squirrel droppings and urine can soil insulation and attic spaces, promoting mold growth and harboring parasites like fleas and ticks, which can threaten the health of your family and pets.
-
Property Destruction: hey tear up insulation for nesting, damage gardens, and raid bird feeders, turning your peaceful yard into their personal cafeteria.
-
Noise & Stress: Early-morning scratching, scampering, and chewing in attics disrupt sleep and peace of mind.
Removing the squirrel alone isn’t a solution. The key is understanding how they got in and ensuring they can’t return.
Don’t wait until squirrels multiply.


Not Sure If Squirrels Are Your Problem?
Signs You Need Professional Squirrel Control
- Scratching, scampering, or chewing sounds in the attic or walls
- Droppings similar to mice, but larger and scattered
- Gnawed wires, wood, or insulation
- Damaged bird feeders or raided gardens
- Visible entry holes near rooflines, vents, or chimneys
- Strong odors from nesting materials and urine
- Frequent squirrel sightings on your roof or near entry points
If you’ve noticed two or more of these signs, it’s time to call a professional.
The NOCO Pest Solutions Approach
Our Comprehensive Squirrel Exclusion Process
We don’t just set traps; we provide a complete solution. Our proven 4-step process is designed for effective and humane squirrel control.
Here’s how we control, remove, and exclude squirrels from your property:
Step 1: Comprehensive Inspection
Our certified technician will conduct a detailed inspection of your property’s interior and exterior to identify all active squirrels, entry points, nesting sites, and the extent of the damage.
Step 2: Humane Removal & Trapping
Using industry-best practices, we safely and humanely remove the squirrels from your property. We utilize live traps and one-way exclusion doors that allow squirrels to leave and not re-enter.
Step 3: Exclusion & Prevention
Simply removing the animals is not enough. We permanently seal all entry points using durable materials like steel mesh and hardware cloth that squirrels cannot chew through. We also recommend trimming tree branches away from the roofline to limit future access.
Step 4: Clean-Up & Sanitization
We offer attic restoration services to clean up nesting materials and droppings, disinfect the area, and replace contaminated insulation, restoring your attic to a safe, clean condition.

Making Your Yard Less Inviting to Squirrels
While professional exclusion is key for squirrels already in your home, you can take proactive steps to make your entire property less attractive to them, reducing the chance of future problems.
Here are proven yard management strategies:
- Secure trash cans – Use tight-fitting lids to keep squirrels from scavenging.
- Clean up spills – Remove fallen seeds, nuts, and fruit from trees and bird feeders.
- Compost management – Keep compost bins covered and sealed.
- Protect gardens – Install netting or fencing around vulnerable plants.
- Reduce water sources – Eliminate standing water and fix leaks.
- Limit nesting sites – Clear out piles of brush, wood, or debris.
- Restrict roof access – Trim overhanging tree branches that squirrels use as bridges.
Making your yard less inviting is one of the most effective ways to prevent indoor infestations.


Bird Feeders and Squirrel Attraction
Bird feeders are one of the biggest squirrel magnets in your yard. If you love feeding birds but hate feeding squirrels, follow these tips:
- Bird Feeder Placement: Keep feeders at least 10 feet away from trees, fences, and roofs that squirrels can jump from.
-
Use Baffles: Install squirrel baffles (cone-shaped barriers) on poles to block access.
-
Choose Squirrel-Proof Feeders: Invest in feeders designed with weighted perches or locking mechanisms.
-
Clean Regularly: Remove spilled seeds to avoid attracting pests.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is it possible to completely get rid of squirrels in my yard?
It’s very difficult to eradicate squirrels from an entire neighborhood, as they are wild animals that roam. However, our focus is on excluding them from your home. We can also provide guidance on making your yard less attractive to significantly reduce their presence and the risk they pose to your house.
How do I get rid of squirrels in my attic?
The most effective method is a professional two-part approach: First, all squirrels are humanely removed using one-way doors. Second, and most importantly, every potential entry point is permanently sealed. DIY methods often fail because they don’t address the root cause—the open access to your attic.
Are squirrels dangerous to my home?
Yes. They chew on wires, insulation, and wood, which can cause fire hazards and structural damage. They also carry fleas and ticks, and their droppings can contaminate insulation, posing health risks.
How long does the squirrel removal process take?
The timeline varies with the infestation’s size. Removal and exclusion for a standard attic infestation can often be completed within a day or two. More complex situations may require additional time. We provide a clear timeline after our initial inspection.
What is the best squirrel repellent?
Most store-bought repellents (sprays, granules, ultrasonic devices) only offer temporary, unreliable results. Squirrels quickly become accustomed to them. The only permanent “repellent” is physical exclusion; sealing your home so they cannot get inside.
Why can’t I just trap and relocate the squirrels myself?
Many areas have regulations against the relocation of wildlife, as it can spread disease and is often considered inhumane because relocated animals struggle to survive. Furthermore, if you don’t seal the entry points, new squirrels will simply move into the vacant, attractive nesting space.
What happens to the squirrels after they are trapped?
We adhere to all local and state wildlife regulations. In most cases, squirrels are humanely euthanized. This is the most responsible method, as relocation is often illegal and ecologically unsound. Our primary goal is to resolve your problem effectively and ethically.
Do you repair the damage caused by squirrels?
Yes, we offer attic restoration and repair services. This includes removing contaminated insulation, cleaning and sanitizing the area, and installing new insulation.
