Squirrels may look harmless when you see them scurrying in the trees, but if they get into your attic, walls or roof space they can become a serious trouble-maker. At YYC Pest Control, we provide professional squirrel removal services for homes in the Cochrane area. We’re committed to safe, humane removal and then making sure they don’t come back.
They chew through insulation, wires and wood beams.
They make scratching or running noises above your ceiling or inside walls.
They leave behind droppings, odor and can attract mites or fleas.
Their activity creates fire hazards and structural concerns.
If they’re allowed to settle in, the damage and disruption add up quickly.
Our Residential Squirrel Removal Process
Our team begins with a detailed inspection of your attic, roofline, soffits, vents and exterior eaves to identify where squirrels are entering.
Once we find the access points and nests, we remove the squirrels using methods that comply with local wildlife regulations and focus on humane handling.
After the animals are removed we seal all identified entry points, recommend any necessary repairs and apply deterrents so new squirrels cannot move in.
If there is nesting material, droppings or odors remaining, we can clean and sanitize the affected areas to restore your home’s comfort and hygiene.
