Squirrel Removal Tyler TX
Scratching in the walls or soffit? We remove squirrels humanely and seal the entry points they used to get in.
Squirrels are small enough to exploit gaps most homeowners never notice — a quarter-sized rotted soffit corner or a gap around a roof vent boot is enough. Once inside, they chew insulation and wiring to build nests, and a single female can produce two litters a year.
We remove squirrels from attics and wall cavities across Tyler, with the highest call volume in tree-heavy neighborhoods like The Cascades and Old Fort Bend, where roof access from overhanging branches is common.
How We Handle Squirrel Removal
We start with a roofline inspection to find every entry point, since squirrels frequently use more than one. Live trapping is done at the entry point to avoid unnecessary attic access. Once we confirm the attic is clear, we seal openings with steel mesh and, where relevant, recommend trimming tree limbs that overhang the roof to reduce future re-entry risk.
Frequently Asked Questions
What attracts squirrels to a Tyler attic?
Warm, dry, elevated space near a food source. Overhanging tree limbs that touch or nearly touch the roofline give squirrels direct access to soffit and fascia gaps.
Do squirrels cause real damage?
Yes — chewed electrical wiring is a genuine fire risk, and compacted or torn insulation reduces the effectiveness of your attic insulation, which can raise energy bills.
