Understanding How Squirrels Enter Homes
Squirrels often access homes through rooflines, soffits, vents, and small openings along the structure. They are strong chewers and can widen gaps to create entry points into attics where they build nests.
Thorough Inspection You Can Rely On
At Petty Pest Control, we inspect roof edges, attic spaces, and exterior entry points where squirrels are likely to gain access. This helps us identify nesting areas, damage, and how they are entering the property.
Safe Removal Focused on Property Protection
Squirrel removal requires careful handling to ensure safety and prevent further damage. We focus on removing squirrels from the property while minimizing disruption to your home.
Preventing Future Squirrel Entry
We also address vulnerable areas such as roof gaps, vents, and structural weaknesses. This helps reduce the chances of squirrels returning and supports long-term protection.
