Austin squirrels living in your yard and attics can cause property damage that will need to be repaired

Squirrels can be quite a nuisance in your home. They can enter your attic and cause extensive damage. Their presence is not only an annoyance but it will also lead to additional problems like insulation deterioration and structural damage. Squirrels can also be a fire hazard because they love to chew on electrical wires. You are not the only one with a squirrel problem. There are many squirrels in the United States, and they cause all sorts of trouble every day.

Austin is no exception to this. Because they can live year-round without freezing cold, squirrels love Austin Texas. Because of the mild winters in Texas, squirrels can stay active throughout winter. This means that homeowners are more likely than ever to see them at their homes searching for food and shelter. A squirrel infestation is something you don’t want to deal with. These rodents can cause significant damage to your property if they have no other place to go. If you notice that something has been gnawing away at your home or attic then chances are good that you have a few unwelcome visitors living inside your walls!

Squirrels in the attic

Squirrels can be a pest in your home. They are persistent when it comes to finding a place in your attic, especially if you have weak spots on the roof or walls that they can chew through and get inside of your living area.

Attics are like playgrounds for squirrels. They can leap from one rafter or another and find their way into any ventilation system or hole they have made in your attic.

These critters should be removed immediately as soon as you find them in your attic. Our wildlife removal experts are available to help you immediately.

Squirrel Removal in Austin, Texas

The best way to get rid of these critters from your home is to call a professional wildlife removal service (like us!). Our experts at AAAC Wildlife Removal understand that these critters can be a big problem and we will provide you with the best solution to resolve your squirrel issue.

We use humane and up-to-date techniques that will not harm the squirrel. We use humane and up-to-date techniques to trap the squirrels and make sure they don’t return.

Professional Wildlife Trappers

Each one of our expert trappers is fully licensed and certified to handle nuisance wildlife. Our technicians are well trained in all aspects of animal removal and have years of experience with removing wildlife such as squirrels, raccoons, opossum, skunks, bats, snakes, etc.

Homeowners cannot effectively trap squirrels on their own. It requires a lot of work and knowledge about the behavior of each type of squirrel. We use state-of-the-art equipment for trapping and will make sure that the critters are removed safely and humanely.

Animal removal is usually a three-part process. Here’s how it works:

  1. Setting up traps to catch the animal
  2. Seal all entry holes to prevent re-entry
  3. Inspection and repair of wildlife damage both inside and outside your home

Setting traps to catch a squirrel

We can use one-door or double-door traps, and place them where there is squirrel activity. The trap is baited with food that is irresistible to the squirrels. The trap is then triggered using a trip plate which releases a door that will seal the animal inside the cage.

Seal all entry holes

We will trap and remove all squirrels from your attic. Then, we will close any openings greater than 1/2 inch to stop more wildlife from getting into your home.

Inspection and Repair of Wildlife Damage

Finally, we perform a complete clean-up and decontamination of your attic to remove any trace of the nuisance animals. We then install insulation and reinstall vents as necessary before proceeding to a complete restoration of your attic.

Should I Get a Squirrel Exterminator?

Although squirrels can be quite a pest, poisoning them is a big no-no. Poison should only be used to control termite and ant colonies. It is not recommended for wildlife. If you use it for squirrels, there is the real possibility of having dead squirrels inside your walls. It will create a terrible stench that will permeate the entire house.

Poisoned squirrels, before dying will also track the dangerous chemicals all over your home creating a dangerous situation for you and your family. Additionally, poisoned squirrels will die in difficult-to-reach places like under floors or inside walls, making it very hard to remove them.

Professional Squirrel removal by a company that is experienced in safely getting rid of nuisance critters is the best option. We also provide an attic clean-up and restoration service after we have removed the animal so that you don’t experience any more surprises. This includes cleaning and decontamination, as well as insulation replacement and wall repairs if needed.

Our Squirrel Trapping Process

  • We first determine if trapping is necessary or if exclusion-based methods will be more effective.
  • We choose from a dozen of so traps, depending on the size of animal we’re trying to trap.
  • Place traps in places that we know the animals like to use.
  • Bait the traps with food that squirrels find irresistible.
  • Remove and relocate trapped animal.

Trapping or Exclusion

Sometimes traps may not be necessary when removing squirrels. In some cases, exclusion-based methods may be sufficient. We use exclusion devices such as one-way doors to allow squirrels to escape but keep them from returning inside the house after they have left.

Choosing the right trap

We make sure the trap we use to capture squirrels is just right. There are a number of traps that are available for squirrel removal and our team of experts will pick the one that is right for your job.

Place Traps in Key Areas

Knowing where to place the traps is one of the most important parts of this process. We will pick areas where we think the critters are active and place our traps there.

Bait with Food They Like

What food can you use to catch squirrels? It matters! Different baits work better for different species of wildlife, so professionals will choose the best bait for that specific type of wildlife.

Remove the Animal

After we catch the squirrels, removing them is usually pretty straightforward. We first ensure that they are out of your home or attic before sealing all other entry points shut. This will also prevent any other pests from entering your home.

Attic Clean Up and Decontamination

Squirrels will leave a terrible mess in your attic after living there for an extended period of time. You will need to deal with a lot of feces, urine, and hair. They will attract other pests like rats and cockroaches which can spread disease and illness throughout your home. We will perform a thorough attic clean-up and decontamination to remove all traces of the pests.

Wildlife Damage Repair

Squirrels will do major damage to your soffits, eaves, vents, and roofs when they are living inside your attic. They have sharp teeth that they use to widen openings and they will pull out insulation to make comfortable nests.

If animals live in your walls, the damage can be even more severe. Your neighbors will surely notice the unsightly chewed-up siding and shingles as well.

When these issues arise, it’s best to let a professional deal with the problem so that your home is restored back to its original condition. Our carpentry team is skilled and can complete all repairs quickly and effectively.

Why hire a professional?

It may seem like it’s easy to get rid of squirrels on your own, but the process is more complex than you might think and there are some serious risks involved with doing this! Squirrels can carry parasites such as mites, bugs, and several diseases like Lyme disease, rabies, and leptospirosis.

If not treated immediately, these diseases can prove fatal. You can’t do any type of wildlife removal in Texas. Rabies is an issue whenever you deal with wild animals.
