Signs You Have Squirrels in Your Attic
If your morning sleep is interrupted by chewing sounds on wood or tiny feet scampering through the attic, you likely have a squirrel problem. While it’s tempting to want them gone immediately, our experience at Attic Kings Animal Removal shows that the fastest solution isn’t always the safest or most effective. A successful eviction requires inspection, thoroughness, patience, and expertise.
Why a Humane Squirrel Eviction is the Best Choice
We specialize in humane squirrel removal through eviction and exclusion, a two-part process that works hand-in-hand. By using their natural foraging behavior, we encourage squirrels to leave while preventing re-entry. This method provides a long-term, permanent solution that secures your home and respects wildlife. Avoid ineffective DIY fixes—our humane approach protects both your home and the animals.
The Squirrel Eviction Timeline: 7–14 Days
Getting squirrels to leave requires patience and expertise. The process begins with our custom-designed Squirrel Safety Exit Tunnel, installed over the entry point the squirrels are accustomed to using. This one-way system allows them to exit safely but prevents re-entry.
Typically, eviction takes 7 to 14 days, ensuring every member of the squirrel family has vacated. This realistic timeline avoids leaving young or hidden squirrels behind.
How the One-Way Squirrel Exit Tunnel Works
Handling Baby Squirrels During Eviction
Squirrels can have up to two litters per year. Young squirrels may not immediately use the exit tunnel. In such cases, we strategically use traps alongside the tunnels and carefully relocate young squirrels to a reunion box outside, allowing the mother to continue care safely. This prevents abandoned animals and avoids further damage or odor.
Why Full Exclusion is Non-Negotiable
Evicting squirrels is only part of the solution. Without proper exclusion, new squirrels can quickly move in. Our wildlife exclusion services seal attics, preventing future infestations and protecting your property.
The Hidden Dangers of Ignoring Exclusion
- Major Fire Hazard: Squirrels chew to maintain their teeth. Damaged electrical wiring poses a serious fire risk.
- Health Risks & Energy Loss: Contaminated insulation soaked with droppings and urine can compromise indoor air quality and reduce energy efficiency, creating a health hazard.
Identifying Vulnerable Entry Points Only an Expert Knows
Squirrels can exploit even the tiniest cracks. Common vulnerable areas include:
- Roofline Builder Gaps: Small gaps where the roof decking meets fascia.
- Soffit Gaps: Openings at roof overhangs or corners.
- Direct Siding Chews: Worn or old siding often becomes a nest entry point.
Restoring Your Attic After Squirrel Removal
Even after eviction and exclusion, your attic may remain contaminated. Our attic restoration services restore your home to a safe, healthy state:
- Removal of Contaminated Insulation: We remove all insulation with droppings, leaving a clean attic floor.
- Professional Sanitation: Powerful odor-neutralizing sanitizers eliminate bacteria and animal waste.
