The Squirrel Problem
St. Louis's abundant tree cover makes it prime squirrel habitat. While charming outdoors, squirrels become destructive pests when they move into attics, soffits, and wall voids.
Squirrels gnaw constantly to keep their teeth worn down. In your attic, that means damaged wiring (fire hazard), destroyed insulation, and holes that let in other pests and weather.
Female squirrels seek attic spaces twice a year for nesting—early spring and fall. If you hear scratching and running sounds overhead, especially in early morning, you likely have squirrel guests.
Damage Squirrels Cause
- Chewed electrical wiring (fire hazard)
- Damaged roof and soffit areas
- Compressed and soiled insulation
- Holes that allow water intrusion
- Noise disturbances
- Odor from urine and droppings
- Entry points for other wildlife
Signs of Squirrel Intrusion
Running Sounds
Rapid footsteps overhead, especially morning and evening
Chew Marks
On roof edges, soffits, and fascia boards
Entry Holes
Gaps in soffits or at roof/wall junctions
Droppings
In attic spaces, similar to large mouse droppings
My Treatment Approach
Inspection
I inspect the exterior of your home to identify entry points and signs of squirrel activity.
Humane Removal
Using one-way exclusion devices, squirrels can leave but not return. Trapping may be used when necessary.
Prevention
I identify all entry points and provide guidance on sealing them to prevent future intrusions.
