The appropriate method depends on the activity found during the inspection. Our process includes identifying squirrel activity and entry points, removal or exclusion, monitoring when appropriate, and sealing identified openings after activity has stopped.
The cost of squirrel removal can vary depending on the number and location of entry points, the removal method needed, and the amount of exclusion work required. We provide a free wildlife inspection so the property can be evaluated before recommending the appropriate work.
