Identifying a squirrel problem early can save you from potential damage and costly repairs. Common signs include unusual noises, such as scratching or scurrying in the attic or walls, especially during the day. Look out for chewed electrical wires, gnawed holes in the siding or roof, and scattered nesting materials. Squirrel droppings near food sources or nesting areas are also a telltale sign. If you notice any of these indicators, it’s crucial to address the issue promptly to prevent further damage.
At A1 Pest Solutions Inc, we follow a meticulous squirrel removal process designed to effectively clear your property of squirrels without causing them harm. Our trained specialists begin with a thorough inspection to identify entry points and the extent of the infestation. We then employ the exclusion method when possible, which involves installing one-way doors at entry points. This method allows squirrels to leave but prevents them from returning, ensuring that your property is cleared without harming the animals.
After ensuring all squirrels have vacated, we seal all entry points to prevent future invasions. Our comprehensive approach includes a detailed inspection of the attic, basement, and potential nesting areas to ensure no entry points are overlooked. Our team also provides advice on how to secure food sources and minimize the chances of a recurrence, helping you maintain a squirrel-free environment in the long term.

It is often assumed that squirrels only eat nuts, but squirrels are actually omnivores, which means they like to eat plants and meat. Squirrels often rely on fungi, seeds, nuts, and fruits for nutrition but they will also eat eggs, small insects, caterpillars, small animals, and even young snakes. As their food source is highly variable with the weather, squirrels will prepare for colder months when food is scarce, by burying their food.
Squirrels are large rodents and can make considerable sounds when inhabiting your home. Listen for loud scampering noises early in the morning and at dusk. Squirrels sleep at night and are most active when we are.
Squirrel urine can become very potent in your house and its smell will emanate through the walls and your heating/cooling vents. Many times squirrels can become stuck inside and die which will cause an even more powerful odour. If you begin to smell off-putting, foul odours, it could be a sign of squirrels.
Squirrels are considered to be pests as they can damage electrical wires and telephone lines outdoors. They also enter homes in the colder months to keep warm, where they can gnaw at wires, insulation, or walls and make a lot of noise.
