Humane Squirrel Removal & Control
Squirrels are energetic, curious creatures that can be fun to watch outdoors—but when they move into your attic or walls, they can cause serious problems. At Soundview Wildlife Control, we offer humane squirrel removal and prevention services to protect your home while preserving local wildlife.
Understanding Squirrels
Squirrels are small to medium-sized rodents known for their bushy tails and quick movements. They play an important ecological role in seed dispersal and maintaining healthy forest ecosystems. There are three main types of squirrels:
- Tree squirrels (like the gray squirrel) that live in wooded or suburban areas
- Ground squirrels (including chipmunks) that burrow underground
- Flying squirrels that glide using thin skin membranes
While they’re valuable in nature, squirrels often adapt to urban environments—sometimes finding their way into homes where warmth and shelter are available.
Signs You Have a Squirrel Problem
- Scratching, scurrying, or running sounds in the attic or walls, especially early morning or dusk
- Chewed wood, wiring, or insulation
Droppings or nesting materials in the attic - Holes or chew marks near rooflines, vents, or eaves
- Strong odors or debris from nesting

How Squirrels Can Damage Your Property
Although small, squirrels can cause significant structural damage once inside your home. They can:
- Chew through wood, trim, shingles, and vents to gain entry
- Gnaw on electrical wiring, increasing fire risks
- Tear insulation and block ventilation systems
- Contaminate insulation with droppings and urine, creating odors and health risks
Because squirrels’ teeth grow continuously, they gnaw constantly—making early prevention and removal essential.
