Why Squirrels Are a Problem
While squirrels may seem harmless, they can cause significant damage when they enter homes. Here’s why you don’t want them staying in your attic:
- Fire Hazard – Squirrels love to chew on wires, which can create a serious fire risk.
- Structural Damage – Their constant gnawing can weaken wooden beams, vents, and insulation.
- Health Concerns – Squirrel droppings and urine can carry bacteria and parasites that may pose health risks.
- Noisy Disturbances – Squirrels can be very active, especially in the morning, disrupting your sleep with their scratching and running.
Our Safe and Humane Squirrel Removal Process
At Adcock’s Trapping Service, we use professional methods to remove squirrels safely and prevent them from returning. Here’s how we do it:
1. Inspection
Our team will carefully inspect your home to locate entry points and identify where squirrels are nesting.
2. Humane Trapping and Removal
We use live traps to capture squirrels safely and relocate them away from your home.
3. Exclusion (Sealing Entry Points)
After the squirrels are removed, we seal up any holes or gaps they used to get inside. This prevents new squirrels from moving in.
4. Cleanup and Insulation Repair
Squirrels can leave behind droppings and damage insulation. We clean and sanitize the affected areas and replace any damaged insulation.
5. Prevention Tips
We provide expert advice on how to keep squirrels out of your home, such as trimming tree branches near your roof, installing chimney caps, and sealing small openings.
