Scampering above the ceiling at dawn?
Squirrels are cute outside. Inside the attic, they're an electrical fire risk with great hand-eye coordination. We humanely evict, one-way-door the rest, and close the holes they keep finding.
The dead giveaway: daytime noise.
If you're hearing scampering when the sun is up, it's almost never a rat or raccoon — it's squirrels. They're diurnal, busy, and they go in and out all day.

Why squirrels are uniquely annoying
Squirrels are persistent. They come back. They tell other squirrels. They have great memories for entry points. That's why one-way doors and proper sealing are the only thing that actually works — trap-and-release just opens the door for the next squirrel.
A squirrel in the attic is a wire chewing problem.
Squirrels have to grind their teeth down. They do that on whatever's around — including your house's wiring.
Fire hazard
Chewed electrical wiring in attics is a documented ignition source for residential fires.
Litters in the attic
Spring and late summer babies. Removal protocol shifts depending on whether kits are present.
Structural chew damage
Fascia, soffits, trim, wood blocking — anything they can get their teeth on.
Damaged insulation
Nests displace insulation, lowering attic efficiency and your AC's effectiveness.
Food caches
Stored acorns, palm seeds, and nuts attract rats and ants — a secondary infestation risk.
Repeat invaders
Squirrels remember entry points for life. Sealing must be permanent and species-rated.
Four steps. Done right.
Humane, fast, and built around how squirrels actually behave — which is to say, persistently.
Inspect
We confirm species, count, entry points, and whether there's a litter in the attic.
One-way doors
Squirrels exit on their own routine. They can't get back in. No trauma, no trapping needed.
Confirm departure
We monitor activity and confirm the attic is clear before sealing — never seal a squirrel in.
Seal & repair
Hardware cloth, copper mesh, matched trim. Squirrel-rated sealing that doesn't fail in six months.
