As colder weather sets in, squirrels are busy preparing for winter, and your attic could be their next cozy spot! 🏠🐾 While these cute critters may seem harmless, they can cause extensive damage to your home if they find their way inside. Moorman’s Wildlife Management specializes in humane squirrel removal and exclusion services to protect your property from the damage these animals can cause. If you’re in Roanoke, VA, or nearby areas like Smith Mountain Lake and Bedford, we’ve got the expertise to keep your home safe.
Why Squirrel Removal Is Essential
Squirrels can cause significant damage to your home in a short amount of time. Here’s why professional squirrel removal and exclusion are critical:
- Damage to Property: Squirrels are known for gnawing through wires, insulation, and even wooden beams. This not only weakens the structural integrity of your home but also poses a serious fire hazard if they chew through electrical wiring.
- Health Risks: Squirrels can carry parasites, fleas, and ticks that may spread to humans or pets. Additionally, their droppings can harbor diseases that pose health risks to your household.
- Noise Disturbances: Squirrels are active critters, and once inside, they can create significant noise as they scurry around, especially during early morning hours. This can disrupt your sleep and your peace of mind.
- Costly Repairs: The longer a squirrel infestation is left unaddressed, the more damage they can cause. Over time, this can lead to costly repairs in your attic, walls, and insulation.
At Moorman’s Wildlife Management, we prioritize humane methods to safely remove squirrels from your home without causing harm to the animals. Our squirrel exclusion services ensure that they don’t come back.
- Comprehensive Inspection: We begin by inspecting your home to identify any entry points, such as gaps in your roof, vents, or soffits. We also look for signs of squirrels nesting or chewing.
- Humane Trapping: Once the inspection is complete, we use humane traps to capture the squirrels without harming them. These traps are placed strategically to maximize capture efficiency.
- Exclusion: After removing the squirrels, we seal all entry points with durable materials to prevent future infestations. This includes repairing gaps, holes, and other vulnerabilities in your home’s structure.
- Attic Restoration: If squirrels have caused damage to your attic insulation or left droppings, we also offer attic restoration services to clean, sanitize, and replace damaged materials, ensuring your attic is safe and energy efficient.
