OUR JOHNS CREEK SQUIRREL CONTROL PROCESS

THE DAMAGE SQUIRRELS CAN CAUSE

Squirrels might look cute, but they are capable of causing significant damage to homes and businesses in Johns Creek. Once inside a structure, squirrels can tear up insulation, chew through wood, and even gnaw on electrical wires, creating potential fire hazards. This makes Johns Creek Squirrel Trapping essential to protect your home from these destructive pests.

Squirrels also damage roofs, gutters, and siding in their efforts to access your home, which is why professional squirrel control is vital to stop these entry points from becoming costly repairs. Additionally, their droppings and urine can contaminate insulation and create unsanitary conditions, posing health risks to your family.

Chewing on electrical wires is one of the most dangerous aspects of a squirrel infestation, often leading to house fires. In fact, many house fires attributed to ‘unknown causes’ are often found to have been started by rodents like squirrels. Repairing the damage caused by squirrels can be expensive, especially when you factor in wiring, insulation replacement, and roof repairs.

If you need squirrel removal in Johns Creek, don’t wait for the damage to worsen. Our team at Southern Wildlife Management, LLC specializes in humane squirrel trapping and squirrel exclusion to prevent future infestations.

A) In North Georgia, including Johns Creek, gray squirrels can invade attics year-round to raise their young or store food. Flying squirrels tend to enter during colder months seeking warmth and protection. Attics provide ideal shelter with insulation for nesting and safety from predators. Common squirrel entry points include construction gaps, soffit returns, vents, and chimneys.

---

Q) How do you trap and remove squirrels from my property?

A) Southern Wildlife Management uses humane cage traps placed near active entry or exit points. Trapping is performed over a one-week period with daily trap checks. Each day we adjust trap placement, rebait when needed, and remove captured squirrels to ensure quick and complete removal.

---

Q) What happens to the squirrels after they are trapped?

A) In compliance with Georgia nuisance wildlife regulations, all trapped squirrels are relocated unharmed to safe, natural environments far enough away to prevent return. We never use lethal trapping methods.

---

Q) How long does squirrel trapping take?

A) Our Johns Creek squirrel trapping program is designed as a one-week process with daily visits. This ensures consistent monitoring, timely adjustments, and complete removal of all active squirrels.

---

Q) How do you determine where squirrels are entering my home?

A) During trapping, our team inspects daily to pinpoint active and potential entry points. Common problem areas include construction gaps, soffit returns, pipe chases, gable vents, and attic fans. Identifying all access points helps us provide accurate proposals for exclusion work after trapping is complete.

---

Q) Do you offer squirrel-proofing services after trapping?

A) Yes. Once all squirrels are removed, we perform professional squirrel-proofing (exclusion). This involves sealing current and back-up entry points using Critter-Proof materials designed to last. We also install vent covers, reinforce soffits, and seal gaps. All exclusion work comes with a 5-year warranty.

---

Q) Why is it important to remove squirrels quickly?

A) Squirrels are destructive chewers. They can damage insulation, fascia, ductwork, and wiring—posing fire risks and causing costly repairs. Over time, urine and droppings create strong odors and attract new rodents to the same areas.

---

Q) Can I trap squirrels myself?

A) You can try, but DIY trapping often results in squirrels becoming trap-shy, making professional removal more difficult. Licensed trappers understand squirrel behavior, use proper cage trap placement, and comply with Georgia’s nuisance wildlife regulations for safe, effective results.

---

Q) Are squirrels active year-round?

A) Yes. Gray squirrels in Johns Creek are active all year long, while flying squirrels are more commonly seen in colder months. Both species will use attics as nesting or shelter sites whenever the opportunity exists.

---

Q) What are the signs of a squirrel infestation?

A) Common signs include scratching or scampering sounds in attics or walls, chewed wood, gnawed wires, droppings, or tunnels through insulation. Squirrels may also be seen entering or exiting from gable vents, rooflines, or soffit returns.

---

Q) How do I prevent squirrels from coming back?

A) Prevent squirrels from returning by trimming overhanging tree limbs, installing screened vent covers, and sealing construction gaps and soffit returns. Our squirrel exclusion service provides long-term prevention by securing all vulnerable areas with durable, Critter-Proof materials.

---

Q) Are squirrels dangerous?

A) While not aggressive, squirrels can create major property risks. They chew electrical wires, increasing the chance of attic fires, and may carry parasites such as fleas or ticks. Their droppings can also contribute to unpleasant odors or mild health concerns.

---
