OUR DULUTH SQUIRREL CONTROL PROCESS

Squirrels may seem harmless, but they can cause significant damage to homes and businesses in Duluth, making squirrel removal and squirrel trapping essential for protecting your property. Once inside, squirrels can chew through electrical wiring, tear up insulation, and damage wooden structures, creating fire hazards and leading to costly repairs. Duluth Squirrel Removal is crucial for safeguarding your home from long-term damage.

Squirrels also cause substantial damage to roofs, gutters, and siding as they try to enter your home. Their droppings and urine can contaminate insulation, leading to unsanitary conditions and potential health risks for your family. Professional Duluth squirrel removal is necessary to keep your home safe and clean.

One of the greatest risks associated with squirrel infestations is the potential for electrical fires caused by squirrels chewing on wires. Many house fires labeled as “unknown causes” are later determined to have been caused by rodents, including squirrels. Repairing squirrel damage can be expensive, involving rewiring, insulation replacement, and roof repairs.

If you suspect squirrels have entered your home, don’t wait for the damage to worsen. Contact Southern Wildlife Management, LLC for professional Duluth squirrel trapping, removal, and exclusion services today.

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

A) Squirrels enter through construction gaps along rooflines, gable vents, soffit returns, or chewed openings around plumbing stacks and attic fans. During trapping, we identify these entry points so you can choose exclusion (sealing) afterward to prevent future entry.

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

A) Scratching or running in the attic at dawn or dusk, chewed wood, disturbed insulation, and droppings near vents or corners are common indicators that professional squirrel control is needed.

Q) Are squirrels dangerous to wiring or insulation?

A) Yes. Constant gnawing can damage electrical wiring, fascia, and ductwork, creating fire and moisture risks. Trapping removes the immediate issue, and exclusion helps ensure they don’t return.

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

A) Licensed technicians place humane traps at active entry or exit points, remove the squirrels, and relocate them. We seldom use one-way valves because complete removal helps stop repeated re-entry attempts. While trapping, we measure and inspect the home and provide a proposal for exclusion once trapping is finished.

Q) How long does a squirrel trapping job take?

A) The trapping phase is a one-week process with daily checks and adjustments until all activity stops; after that, you can approve exclusion to seal identified entry points.

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

A) Gray squirrels are active year-round. Flying squirrels are more common in colder months when they seek warm attic spaces. Either species can enter any time of year.

Q) Can I trap squirrels myself?

A) Yes, but failed DIY attempts often make squirrels trap-shy, which can complicate professional removal later. Remember: trapping is only one step—exclusion is required for long-term squirrel control.

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

A) After trapping, wildlife exclusion—sealing rooflines, vents, and construction gaps with Critter-Proof materials—is the long-term solution. When materials are visible, we paint to match. Exclusion is performed only after homeowner approval and carries a 5-year (non-renewable) warranty.

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

A) Yes. The trapping method is the same; only the trap placement location and bait change. Both species are trapped humanely and removed, and exclusion keeps all wildlife out.

Q) I live near Sugarloaf Parkway and Berkeley Lake—do wooded areas increase squirrel activity?

A) Squirrels can climb brick, stone, or siding with or without nearby trees. Overhanging limbs and wooded corridors near Berkeley Lake and Sugarloaf Parkway make roof access easier, so trimming branches and approving exclusion reduces the chance of re-entry.

Q) What happens if I ignore a squirrel problem?

A) Expect continued gnawing on wires and fascia, insulation contamination, and odors that attract more rodents. Over time, roofline damage and costly repairs become likely.

Q) Do ultrasonic devices or sprays actually work for squirrel control?

A) No. Repellents and sound devices provide, at best, temporary relief. Proven, lasting results come from humane trapping followed by exclusion.

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

A) Typically one family—about two to six squirrels—but multiple openings can allow more animals to move in. Early trapping prevents colony growth.

Q) After removal, is cleanup or sanitizing necessary?

A) Seldom for gray squirrels—they are not a communal latrine species, and attic heat typically dries minor droppings. If flying squirrels or raccoons created a latrine, we can locate it and provide a cleanup/sanitation estimate.

Q) Do areas like Old Peachtree Road, Bunten Park, or Sugarloaf Country Club see higher squirrel activity?

A) Yes. These areas have dense tree cover and mature neighborhoods where squirrels thrive. Homes along Old Peachtree Rd, Bunten Park, and Sugarloaf Country Club often have construction gaps that make attic entry easier, so exclusion sealing is especially beneficial there.
