While squirrels may seem harmless, they can cause significant damage once they gain entry into your Alpharetta home. Squirrels can chew through electrical wiring, creating fire hazards, tear up insulation, and even damage your home’s structure as they gnaw through wood, roofs, gutters, and siding.

Their urine and droppings can contaminate insulation, leading to health risks for your family. This makes Alpharetta squirrel removal critical to protect your home and avoid costly repairs.

One of the biggest dangers is the risk of electrical fires caused by squirrels chewing on wires. Many fires classified as “unknown causes” often trace back to rodent damage, including squirrels. If not addressed, their nesting and breeding habits will continue to worsen the damage.

To protect your home from these destructive pests, schedule Alpharetta squirrel trapping with Southern Wildlife Management, LLC today.

FAQ’s Common For Squirrel Trapping & Squirrel Control Services:

Q) How do squirrels usually get inside attics and homes?

A) Squirrels often enter through construction gaps along rooflines, gable vents, soffit returns, or chewed openings around plumbing stacks and attic fans. Once inside, they damage insulation and wiring and leave scent trails that attract other rodents. Southern Wildlife Management identifies these areas during humane squirrel trapping so homeowners can choose to have exclusion work done to prevent future entry.

---

Q) What are the first signs of a squirrel problem in my home?

A) Scratching or running noises in the attic during early morning or evening hours are common indicators. You may also notice chewed wood, shredded insulation, or droppings near vents. These signs suggest it’s time to begin the squirrel control process before damage worsens.

---

Q) Are squirrels dangerous to wiring or insulation?

A) Yes. Squirrels constantly chew to control their teeth, often targeting electrical wiring, fascia boards, and ductwork. This creates fire hazards and insulation damage. Humane trapping, followed by optional exclusion, helps stop repeat issues and protects your attic long-term.

---

Q) What’s involved in professional squirrel trapping and removal?

A) Licensed technicians strategically place humane traps near active entry points to capture and relocate squirrels safely. We seldom use one-way valves, since removing the squirrel completely helps prevent repeated attempts to re-enter. During trapping, we measure and inspect the home so an accurate exclusion proposal can be provided once trapping is finished.

---

Q) How long does it take to remove squirrels from an attic?

A) Squirrel trapping typically lasts one week. During that time, traps are checked and adjusted daily until all activity stops. After trapping, homeowners may choose to proceed with exclusion to secure all identified entry points.

---

Q) What time of year are squirrel infestations most common?

A) Gray squirrels are active year-round, while flying squirrels are most common in colder months when they look for warm attic shelter. Both species can invade homes any time of year, so professional trapping and exclusion are the most reliable defenses.

---

Q) Can I trap squirrels myself?

A) Yes, but DIY trapping can backfire. Unsuccessful attempts often make squirrels trap-shy, making professional removal more difficult later. In addition, trapping is only one step in effective squirrel control—sealing the home afterward is essential for permanent results. Our licensed team ensures humane, legal, and complete squirrel removal under Georgia regulations.

---

Q) What’s the best way to prevent squirrels from returning?

A) After trapping, wildlife exclusion is the key to long-term protection. Our technicians seal rooflines, vents, and construction gaps using galvanized metal and Critter-Proof materials. When the metal is visible, we paint it to match the home’s exterior for a clean finish. All exclusion work includes a 5-year warranty for lasting peace of mind.

---

Q) Are flying squirrels removed the same way as gray squirrels?

A) Yes. The trapping method is identical, but trap placement and bait vary slightly between species. Both gray and flying squirrels are trapped humanely and relocated. Once trapping is complete, homeowners may choose to have exclusion work performed to prevent future re-entry.

---

Q) I live near Big Creek Greenway — do wooded areas increase squirrel activity?

A) Not necessarily. Squirrels can easily scale brick, siding, or stone walls even without nearby trees. However, overhanging limbs or dense tree lines, such as those near Big Creek Greenway or Cogburn Road, make access easier. Trimming limbs and approving exclusion work reduces the risk of future intrusion.

---

Q) What happens if I ignore a squirrel problem?

A) Ignoring an infestation can result in chewed wiring, insulation damage, and odors that attract other rodents. Over time, squirrels can weaken roofline structures and cause expensive repairs. Addressing the issue promptly through trapping—and, if approved, exclusion—provides long-term protection.

---

Q) Do ultrasonic repellents or sprays actually work?

A) No. Most repellents and ultrasonic devices provide only temporary relief because squirrels quickly adapt. Professional trapping followed by exclusion is the only proven, lasting solution for squirrel control.

---

Q) How many squirrels could be living in my attic?

A) Most attics host a single squirrel family, usually two to six animals. Larger or older structures with multiple openings may attract more. Early trapping prevents population growth and structural damage.

---

Q) After removal, is cleanup or sanitizing necessary?

A) Cleanup is seldom needed after a gray squirrel problem. They are not a communal latrine species, and attic heat typically dries and neutralizes small droppings. For flying squirrels or raccoons that create latrine areas, we can locate those spots and provide an estimate for cleanup and sanitation if necessary.

---

Q) Why choose a local squirrel control expert instead of a national chain?

A) Local wildlife professionals understand North Georgia’s home construction and squirrel behavior patterns. Southern Wildlife Management has been family-owned for over 15 years, using humane trapping, accurate exclusion estimates, and long-lasting repairs—all backed by a 5-year warranty trusted by homeowners throughout Alpharetta and surrounding communities.
