Our Comprehensive Squirrel Removal Process
When you choose Ant & Rodent Pest Control Anchorage for squirrel removal, you can expect a thorough and effective process from start to finish. We begin with a detailed inspection to identify the entry points, assess the damage, and determine the extent of the infestation. Based on our findings, we develop a customized removal plan tailored to your specific situation.
Detailed Inspection
Our expert technicians will perform a comprehensive inspection both inside and outside of your property. This includes checking your attic, crawl spaces, roofline, and surrounding trees for signs of squirrel activity. We look for:.
- Entry points
- Nesting sites
- Damaged areas
- Droppings
A thorough inspection allows us to accurately assess the problem and develop an effective removal strategy.
Humane Removal Techniques
We employ various humane removal techniques to safely and effectively remove squirrels from your property. These may include:
- Live Trapping: Using humane traps baited with enticing food to capture squirrels without harming them.
- One-Way Doors: Installing one-way doors on entry points to allow squirrels to exit but prevent them from re-entering.
- Exclusion Methods: Sealing off all potential entry points to prevent future infestations.
Our goal is to remove squirrels in a manner that is both effective and ethical.
Damage Repair and Prevention
Once the squirrels have been removed, we address any damage they may have caused. This may include:
- Repairing chewed wires and insulation.
- Sealing entry points to prevent future infestations.
- Cleaning and sanitizing nesting areas.
We also offer advice and recommendations on how to prevent future squirrel problems.
Sealing Entry Points
One of the most important steps in preventing future infestations is to seal off all potential entry points. This may include:
- Repairing damaged siding and roofing.
- Covering vents and chimneys with screens.
- Trimming tree branches that are close to your roof.
By sealing entry points, you can make your property less attractive to squirrels and other pests.
Cleaning and Sanitizing
Squirrel nests can be a breeding ground for bacteria and parasites. That's why it's important to clean and sanitize any areas where squirrels have nested. We can remove nesting materials and disinfect the area to prevent the spread of disease. Additionally we follow up with wildlife preventative measures to further thwart squirrels from re-entering.
Common Problems Caused by Squirrels and How We Resolve Them
Squirrels may seem cute and harmless when you see them scurrying around your yard, but these critters can cause a surprising amount of damage to your home. Their constant gnawing, nest-building activities, and tendency to explore can lead to a multitude of problems that require professional attention.
Chewed Electrical Wiring
Squirrels have a natural instinct to chew, and unfortunately, electrical wiring is often a target. They can strip the insulation off of wires, exposing the bare metal and creating a serious fire hazard. Damaged wiring can also disrupt your electrical system, leading to power outages and costly repairs. Our team can replace frayed or worn wires inside of your property.
Our squirrel removal service includes damage assessment and repair. We'll identify any chewed wiring and make the necessary repairs to ensure your home is safe and up to code, thus preventing future hazards.
Damaged Insulation
Squirrels often nest in the attic and walls, and in the process, they can tear up and compress insulation. Damaged insulation reduces its effectiveness, causing your energy bills to skyrocket. It can also lead to moisture problems and mold growth within your walls.
After removing the squirrels, we offer insulation repair and replacement services. We use high-quality materials to restore your insulation to its original condition, helping you save money on energy costs and improve your home's overall comfort. Furthermore, we make sure there are no remnants or potential attractants to keep squirrels away.
Clogged Gutters and Downspouts
Squirrels often carry leaves, twigs, and other debris into gutters to build nests. This can clog gutters and downspouts, causing water to overflow and damage your siding, foundation, and landscaping. Clogged gutters can also create breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other pests.
As part of our service, we'll clear out any debris from your gutters and downspouts, ensuring proper water drainage. We can also install gutter guards to prevent squirrels from building nests in the future. If you think you need help with this we can provide great references
Unsightly Nests and Droppings
Squirrel nests can be unsightly and create a mess around your property. Squirrel droppings can also be a health hazard, potentially carrying diseases that can be transmitted to humans and pets.
Our team will remove any squirrel nests from your property and clean up droppings, disinfecting the affected areas to eliminate any health risks, and making recommendations.
Noises in the Attic or Walls
One of the most common signs of a squirrel infestation is hearing scratching, running, or gnawing noises in the attic or walls. These noises can be especially disruptive at night, making it difficult to sleep.
We'll identify the source of the noises and use humane removal methods to evict the squirrels. We'll also seal up any entry points to prevent them from returning. After the removal we can also provide further recommendations for noise barriers.
