Hearing scratching, scurrying, or chewing sounds coming from your ceiling or walls is a clear sign that squirrels have moved in. While they may look harmless outdoors, squirrels can cause extensive damage to your home's infrastructure. They are notorious for gnawing through electrical wiring (a major fire hazard), destroying insulation, and tearing up woodwork to create nesting sites.
At Pest Control Ottawa, we specialize in professional, humane squirrel removal that protects both your property and the wildlife. We don't just remove the animal; we identify how they got in and ensure they can't return, giving you long-term peace of mind.

What Do Professional Squirrel Removal Specialists Do?

Professional wildlife technicians go beyond simple trapping. We perform a comprehensive "roof-to-foundation" inspection to find every possible entry point, some as small as a baseball. We utilize One-Way Doors, which allow the squirrels to exit the house to find food but prevent them from re-entering. Once the squirrels are out, we use heavy-gauge galvanized steel screening to reinforce weak spots, ensuring your attic stays animal-free for years to come.

Signs You Have a Squirrel Infestation

Squirrels are most active during the early morning and evening. If you suspect you have a "roommate" in the attic, look for these common warning signs:

Scratching Sounds: Fast, frantic scurrying or scratching noises in the ceiling or walls.
Chewed Entry Holes: Damage to fascia boards, shingles, or soffits, often accompanied by teeth marks.
Damaged Insulation: Compressed or "tunneled" insulation in the attic.
Foul Odors: A buildup of urine and droppings can create a distinct, unpleasant smell over time.
Chewed Wires: Exposed copper or plastic coating stripped from electrical lines in the attic.

If you notice these signs, it is vital to act quickly. Squirrels can have two litters a year; if a mother squirrel gives birth in your attic, the removal process becomes much more complex.
 

Our Squirrel Removal & Exclusion Process

We follow a proven four-step process to secure your home.

1. Comprehensive Property Inspection

We inspect the roofline, vents, and chimneys to locate active entry holes and determine whether babies are present.

2. Humane Exclusion (One-Way Doors)

We install specialized exclusion devices over the main entry point. This allows the squirrel to leave naturally, but blocks their path back inside.

3. Professional Wildlife Proofing

We seal all potential secondary entry points with chew-proof materials like galvanized steel mesh and heavy-duty sealants.

4. Restoration & Decontamination

If necessary, we provide advice on cleaning droppings and replacing soiled insulation to restore your home's health and safety.
