Wauwatosa squirrels living in your yard and attics can cause property damage that will need to be repaired

Squirrels can be quite a nuisance in your home. They can get into all kinds of places, including your attic, and they cause a lot of damage while they’re there. They are not only annoying but can also cause structural damage and insulation degradation. Additionally, squirrels are a fire hazard as they love to chew on electric wires! If you have a squirrel problem, you’re not alone. There are many squirrels in the United States, and they cause all sorts of trouble every day.

A squirrel infestation is something you don’t want to deal with. These rodents can cause significant damage to your property if they have no other place to go. There are likely to be some unwelcome guests living in your walls if you find something chewing on your attic or home.

Squirrels in the attic

Squirrels can be a pest in your home. Squirrels are persistent in their search for a spot in your attic. They will chew through any weak points on your roof or walls and gain access inside.

Attics are like squirrels’ playground. They can leap from one rafter or another and find their way into any ventilation system or hole they have made in your attic.

As soon as you notice these critters in the attic, do not wait for them to cause bigger problems. Call our professional wildlife removal experts immediately!

Squirrel Removal in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

The best way to get rid of these critters from your home is to call a professional wildlife removal service (like us!). AAAC Wildlife Removal experts understand that squirrels can be a problem. We will help you find the right solution.

We employ humane, up-to-date methods that do not cause harm to the squirrel. Our process involves trapping and exclusion of the nuisance animal as well as making sure that they don’t come back.

Professional Wildlife Trappers

Each one of our expert trappers is fully licensed and certified to handle nuisance wildlife. Our technicians are well trained in all aspects of animal removal and have years of experience with removing wildlife such as squirrels, raccoons, opossum, skunks, bats, snakes, etc.

Trapping is not something that homeowners can effectively do on their own, It involves a lot of work and knowledge about the behavior and activity patterns of different types of squirrels. We use state-of-the-art equipment for trapping and will make sure that the critters are removed safely and humanely.

Animal removal usually is a three-part process – here’s how we do it:

  1. Setting up traps to catch the animal
  2. Seal all entry holes to prevent re-entry
  3. Inspection and repair of wildlife damage both inside and outside your home

Setting traps to catch a squirrel

We can use one-door or double-door traps, and place them where there is squirrel activity. We bait the trap with food that the critters find irresistible. The trap is then triggered using a trip plate which releases a door that will seal the animal inside the cage.

Seal all entry holes

After trapping and removing all squirrels in your attic, we close up any openings larger than 1/2 inch across to prevent more wildlife from getting into your home.

Inspection and Repair of Wildlife Damage

Finally, we perform a complete clean-up and decontamination of your attic to remove any trace of the nuisance animals. Then we install new insulation and re-install vents as needed before finishing with an overall restoration service for your attic.

Should I Get a Squirrel Exterminator?

Squirrels can be a huge nuisance to have around your home, even so, using poison is just a big no-no! Poison should only be used to control termite and ant colonies. It is not recommended for wildlife. If you use it for squirrels, there is the real possibility of having dead squirrels inside your walls. It will create a terrible stench that will permeate the entire house.

Poisoned squirrels, before dying will also track the dangerous chemicals all over your home creating a dangerous situation for you and your family. Not to mention that poisoned squirrels will die in inaccessible places, like inside walls or under flooring which can be quite difficult to remove without proper equipment or training.

The best solution is professional Squirrel Removal by a company that knows how to get rid of the nuisance critters safely! We also provide an attic clean-up and restoration service after we have removed the animal so that you don’t experience any more surprises. This includes decontamination and cleaning as well as insulation replacement, and wall repairs if necessary.

Our Squirrel Trapping Process

  • We first determine if trapping is necessary or if exclusion-based methods will be more effective.
  • We choose from a dozen of so traps, depending on the size of animal we’re trying to trap.
  • Place traps in places that we know the animals like to use.
  • Bait the traps with food that squirrels find irresistible.
  • Remove and relocate trapped animal.

Trapping or Exclusion

Sometimes traps may not be necessary when removing squirrels. In some cases, exclusion-based methods may be sufficient. Exclusion means using one-way doors that allow the squirrels to leave but prevent them from getting back inside after they’ve left the property.

Choosing the right trap

When we set out to catch squirrels, we make sure that the trap that we pick is just right. There are a number of traps that are available for squirrel removal and our team of experts will pick the one that is right for your job.

Place Traps in Key Areas

Choosing where to place the trap is one of the most important part of the process. We will choose areas we believe the critters are active and place our traps there.

Bait with Food They Like

What food do you use to catch a squirrel? It matters! Different foods work better for different wildlife so it’s best if the professionals choose what kind of bait goes into the trap.

Remove the Animal

After we capture the squirrels, It is often pretty straightforward to remove them from your property. Before sealing any other entrance points, we double-check that the squirrels are gone from your attic or home. This will also prevent any other pests from entering your home.

Attic Clean Up and Decontamination

Squirrels will leave a terrible mess in your attic after living there for an extended period of time. You will need to deal with a lot of feces, urine, and hair. They will attract other pests like rats and cockroaches which can spread disease and illness throughout your home. We will perform a thorough attic clean-up and decontamination to remove all traces of the pests.

Wildlife Damage Repair

Squirrels will do major damage to your soffits, eaves, vents, and roofs when they are living inside your attic. Squirrels have sharp teeth and will use their sharp teeth to open up openings. They also pull insulation out to create comfortable nests.

If animals live in your walls, the damage can be even more severe. The unsightly chewed-up siding or shingles will be noticed by your neighbors.

When these issues arise, it’s best to let a professional deal with the problem so that your home is restored back to its original condition. Our carpentry team is skilled and can complete all repairs quickly and effectively.

If these critters have caused serious damage to your home or business, call us today for Wildlife Damage Repair!

Why hire a professional?

It may seem like it’s easy to get rid of squirrels on your own, but the process is more complex than you might think and there are some serious risks involved with doing this! For example, squirrels have been known to carry parasites likes mites and bugs as well as several diseases such as rabies, Lyme disease, and leptospirosis.

These diseases can be deadly if not treated right away. Furthermore, trying to do any kind of wildlife removal yourself is illegal in Wisconsin as rabies is a concern anytime you’re dealing with these wild animals.
