Squirrels are some of the most annoying rodents to have in your house. They can get into all kinds of places, including your attic, and they cause a lot of damage while they’re there. 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. If you have a squirrel problem, you’re not alone. There are many squirrels in the United States, and they cause all sorts of trouble every day.

Winchester is no exception to this. Because they can live year-round without freezing cold, squirrels love Winchester Kentucky. The mild winters in Kentucky allow squirrels to stay active all throughout the winter months, which means homeowners are more likely to see them around their homes looking for food or shelter. However, one rodent infestation that you may not want to be dealing with is a squirrel infestation on your property since these rodents will cause a lot of damage while they’re there if they have nowhere else to go. There are likely to be some unwelcome guests living in your walls if you find something chewing on your attic or home.

Squirrels in the attic

Squirrels can be a pest in your home. Squirrels are persistent in their search for a spot in your attic. They will chew through any weak points on your roof or walls and gain access inside.

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. Call our professional wildlife removal experts immediately!

Squirrel Removal in Winchester, Kentucky

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 employ humane, up-to-date methods that do not cause harm to 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 use either one-door or two-door traps and set them in areas where we see squirrel activity. We bait the trap with food that the critters find irresistible. 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

After trapping and removing all squirrels in your attic, we close up any openings larger than 1/2 inch across to prevent more wildlife from getting into your home.

Inspection and Repair of Wildlife Damage

We then clean up and disinfect your attic. Then we install new insulation and re-install vents as needed before finishing with an overall restoration service for your attic.

Should I Get a Squirrel Exterminator?

Squirrels can be a huge nuisance to have around your home, even so, using poison is just a big no-no! Poison is best used for ant and termite colonies, not for wildlife. You can have dead squirrels in your walls if you use poison as you use them for ants and termites. 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. Not to mention that poisoned squirrels will die in inaccessible places, like inside walls or under flooring which can be quite difficult to remove without proper equipment or training.

Professional Squirrel removal by a company that is experienced in safely getting rid of nuisance critters is the best option. After we remove the animal, we offer an attic cleaning and restoration service so you don’t have to worry about the mess in your attic. 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

When removing squirrels, traps may not always be necessary. In some cases, exclusion-based methods may be sufficient. Exclusion means using one-way doors that allow the squirrels to leave but prevent them from getting back inside after they’ve left the property.

Choosing the right trap

We make sure the trap we use to capture squirrels is just right. There are many traps available for squirrel removal. Our team of experts will pick the best one for the job.

Place Traps in Key Areas

Choosing where to place the trap is one of the most important part of the process. We will choose areas we believe the critters are active and place our traps there.

Bait with Food They Like

What food do you use to catch a squirrel? It’s important! Different foods work better for different wildlife so it’s best if the professionals choose what kind of bait goes into the trap.

Remove the Animal

After we catch the squirrels, removing them is usually pretty straightforward. Before sealing any other entrance points, we double-check that the squirrels are gone from your attic or home. This will prevent other critters from getting inside as well.

Attic Clean Up and Decontamination

Squirrels will leave a terrible mess in your attic after living there for an extended period of time. There will be feces, hair, urine, and more that have to be dealt with. These will attract other pests such as cockroaches, rats, and mice which will spread illness and disease 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.

The damage outside can also be substantial, especially if the animals are living in your walls. The unsightly chewed-up siding or shingles will be noticed by your neighbors.

It is best to have a professional handle these problems so your home can be restored to its original condition. Our carpentry team is skilled and can complete all repairs quickly and effectively.

If these critters have caused serious damage to your home or business, call us today for Wildlife Damage Repair!

Why hire a professional?

Although it may seem easy to get rid of squirrels by yourself, the process can be more complex than you think. There are also serious risks! Squirrels can carry parasites such as mites, bugs, and several diseases like Lyme disease, rabies, and leptospirosis.

These diseases can be deadly if not treated right away. You can’t do any type of wildlife removal in Kentucky. Rabies is an issue whenever you deal with wild animals.
