Squirrel Removal
Trust us to exclude squirrels from your home or business. Following a thorough inspection, we will determine the entry point(s) and securely close them off. Using a temporary one-way door will let the squirrels leave and will not allow them to re-enter. Squirrels will usually leave within 1-3 days because they are hungry and thirsty, but we will leave the one-way door in place for 10-14 days to be certain. When we return to remove our temporary squirrel door, our wildlife removal specialists will ensure the area is secure. We warranty all of our prevention work, including entry points, vents and any problem areas we have treated. We use this method whether the squirrels have gained access to your attic or under your deck, shed or other structures. We offer attractive animal-proof vent options, and we’re happy to put new vents on your whole house to prevent any future problems.
Squirrels
Squirrels are very adaptable and can fit through a hole the size of a baseball. Most active at dawn and dusk Grey ones feed every day, even in winter they do not hibernate as they are unable to conserve enough energy to survive. Their extremely diverse meal staples include beechnuts, acorns, bugs, grapes, bird eggs, birds, grass and amphibians. They sometimes display cannibalistic tendencies feeding on members of their own species.
These rodents might be cute but can be destructive to homes and properties, chewing holes in roofs, vents and fascia, chewing electrical wires and leaving behind nests and waste.

What You Need to Know About Squirrels
-
What is living under my shed?Look for signs of digging around the bottom of your shed (or gazebo, deck, sunroom, garage) and listen for sounds. Raccoons often make a den to have their babies under structures like this. Baby raccoons make chirping sounds. Notice any scents? It could also be a skunk or family of skunks as this is also very common in the Springtime.
-
Can I live trap?We do not live trap during baby season as removing the mother animal means the babies will not survive without her. It is not advisable or legal for you to live trap and move an animal.
-
Should I block the entry point?If you block an entry point and the animal has babies inside she will cause more damage making more entry points to get to her litter. Calling a wildlife removal specialist who can inspect and properly treat the issue is advisable.
-
What are these holes in my garden?Finding holes, tunnels and paths in your yard and garden likely means you have mice, rats or other rodents living there.
-
What’s that noise in my bathroom vent?If you’re hearing noises or smelling something foul from your vent birds have likely gotten in and made a nest. A wildlife professional can remove this and install a new animal proof vent.
-
Why do I see wasps but no nest?Wasps or hornets can make their nest inside your roof where you can’t see it – but you are seeing lots of wasps buzzing around! Having the nest sprayed will take care of it for you.
-
What’s that scratching sound?Where are you hearing it? In your ceiling/attic? It could be squirrels, raccoons, mice or rats.
-
Should I cut down my tree to stop animals from getting on my roof?A lot of people do this but raccoons and squirrels can climb right up the side of your house so cutting down your nice tree will not solve the problem.
-
How can we keep rodents out of our yard?Remove all food sources such as pet food, bird seed and composters. You can also purchase scented deterrents and noisemakers at most hardware stores.
-
Who do I call for a stray domestic animal?You would call your local kennel, animal rescue or city hall for advice.
-
Should I call 911 for raccoon sightings?You should never call 911 unless it is an emergency.
-
Who should I call for injured or orphaned wildlife?You should call a local animal rehabilitation centre or search for one at http://www.ontariowildliferescue.ca/
