Squirrels in the attic are one of the most common — and most damaging — wildlife problems in Pasco County. They chew wiring, destroy insulation, and breed fast. Florida's gray squirrels are active year-round and can have two litters per year, so a small problem grows quickly.

Exclusion-first is the only real fix. Trapping alone doesn't work long-term if entry points stay open — new animals move in within days.

What to Look For

Signs of Squirrel Activity

Rapid, light scurrying sounds in the attic — especially at dawn and dusk
Chewed wood around roofline, eaves, or soffits
Gnaw marks on electrical wiring — a serious fire risk
Shredded insulation or nesting material in the attic
Acorns or food caches found in attic or wall cavities
Squirrels repeatedly entering the same point on your roofline

Why Squirrels Are Bad for Your Home

  • Chewed electrical wiring in attics — a serious fire hazard
  • Destroyed attic insulation used for nesting material
  • Structural entry holes that allow water intrusion and secondary pests
  • Loud scratching and movement noises in ceilings and walls
  • Gnawed HVAC ducts reducing efficiency and air quality

How It Works

Our Process

  1. 1

    Inspection

    Identify all entry points and assess the extent of attic damage, nesting material, and chewing activity.

  2. 2

    One-Way Exclusion Devices

    We install one-way doors at primary entry points — squirrels can exit but cannot return.

  3. 3

    Supplemental Trapping

    Live cage traps placed for any squirrels that don't self-exclude through the one-way devices.

  4. 4

    Full Sealing

    Once the structure is clear, all entry points are permanently sealed with commercial-grade materials.

  5. 5

    Follow-Up

    We verify no squirrels remain and confirm no new entry points have been created.

Prevention Tips

  • Trim tree branches to 8–10 feet from the roofline — squirrels leap from branches to roofs
  • Install metal flashing around all roofline edges and vents
  • Use squirrel-proof bird feeders or remove feeders entirely
  • Contact a licensed chimney company to cap chimney openings
  • Check and seal any gaps in fascia boards, soffits, and gable vents annually

FAQ

Common Questions

How do squirrels get into the attic?

Most commonly through soffit gaps, ridge vents, or gnawed openings around fascia boards. They only need a gap the size of a golf ball to gain entry — and once they find it, they chew it larger.

Can squirrels really cause fires?

Yes — chewed electrical wiring is a documented cause of attic fires. This is why squirrel infestations should be addressed quickly, not waited out.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes — every exclusion job comes with a 1-year warranty. If squirrels re-enter through any point we sealed within that year, we return at no charge. Renewable annually.

What if squirrels are already nesting in my attic?

We start with exclusion devices so existing squirrels can leave on their own before we seal permanently. This avoids trapping animals inside, which creates odor and sanitation problems.
