Our Squirrel Removal Services

There are three types of rodents that break into homes here in Aurora; rats, mice, and squirrels. Squirrels are the least common of the three but are just as capable of getting indoors. Most infestations happen during the colder months of the year, while squirrels are highly motivated to find a cozy place to spend the winter. Our goal is to provide you with solutions for these local rodent threats. Here is our three-step process for squirrel removal:

Identify Entry Points: Squirrels use homes as shelter more than anything else. To begin the removal process, we first identify how these pests got into your home. This step might involve inspecting your attic inside and out while looking for damage to your roofline, loose-fitting siding, and other noticeable holes or damage. This step is important as we will need to seal these entry points later.
Trap Squirrels Until They Are Gone: Since squirrels can be dangerous when threatened, we prefer advanced trapping methods to address infestations. We place these traps in targeted areas near entry points. To identify where these pests are hiding, our team uses thermal scopes and other detection methods to spot squirrels hiding inside walls or under floorboards. Whenever we catch a squirrel, we check to see if it is lactating to help us identify if there are pups indoors so that we can adjust our methods as necessary.
Address Entry Points: After removing squirrels from your home, we want to ensure these pests do not come back. We do this by addressing holes, gaps, and other openings that these bushy-tailed rodents used to get inside in the first place. We use a variety of general exclusion methods for this, all of which we guarantee for three years.

Squirrels are one of the smartest and most agile creatures in Aurora, IL. To address these pests, we work hard to perfect our wildlife control measures. You'll see this through our detailed control process.

Squirrels are not as dangerous as other invasive rodents. Where rats and mice eat nasty things that contain bacteria, squirrels only eat nuts and berries. These bushy-tailed rodents do, however, carry pests like fleas and ticks into homes. These small parasitic bugs spread diseases through their bites and are harmful to both humans and pets.

Although there are some people that domesticate squirrels, we highly recommend avoiding keeping these rodents as pets. They are wild by nature, have noticeably sharp claws, and are equipped with enough energy to zip around all day without tiring themselves out. If you enjoy these wild rodents, watch them from a distance and consider buying them some nuts. Just don't feed them in your yard, as they might repay you by invading your home.
