Our Treatment Approach
Natural-first solutions that actually work
One-way exclusion doors allow squirrels to exit without re-entry. Hardware cloth and metal flashing seal entry points permanently. Live trapping when exclusion isn't immediately possible. We trim access routes and address all entry points systematically. Given Arlington's moisture conditions, we pay special attention to drainage and humidity control.
Prevention Tips
✓
Trim tree branches 6-8 feet from roof
✓
Install chimney caps and vent covers
✓
Repair damaged soffits and fascia
✓
Secure garbage container lids
✓
Remove bird feeders or use squirrel baffles
Frequently Asked Questions
How are squirrels getting into my attic?
Squirrels are excellent climbers and jumpers. They reach roofs via overhanging branches, climb siding and downspouts, and exploit any gap larger than 1.5 inches. Common entries include roof vents, soffits, fascia gaps, and dormers.
Will squirrels damage my house?
Yes, squirrels cause significant damage. They chew holes through siding, soffits, and roofing. Inside attics they gnaw wiring creating fire hazards, damage insulation, and contaminate spaces with urine and droppings. Stored items may be destroyed.
Why do Arlington homes have more squirrels problems?
Arlington's proximity to water creates humidity that squirrels thrive in. We address both the immediate infestation and the underlying moisture conditions that attract these pests.
