Signs of Squirrel Infestations

Where is the sound?

If you hear scratching and running in your attic, this usually points to a fox squirrel. If you hear squirrels in walls or even between floors of a multi-story home, you’re most likely hearing a pine squirrel.

When do you hear it?

Most squirrels are active during the day, so morning and afternoon noises are typical. If you hear movement at night, you may be dealing with flying squirrels since they are nocturnal.

Is there roofline damage?

The most common damage from squirrels is along the roofline. They will chew through wood, vinyl, and even aluminum siding if they are committed to getting in.

From our technicians: Knock on the wall or ceiling. If the noises stop completely and then pick back up 30 seconds later, that’s usually a sign of a mouse. Mice are more afraid, so they’ll stop and freeze. If you knock near a squirrel, it will scurry away from you.

Our Humane Squirrel Removal Process for Carmel, Indiana

Schedule Inspection

Hear a noise? Give us a call! Our team will inspect your home looking for any possible points of entry, focusing on the roofline. We may be able to offer same-day or next-day inspections depending on availability.

Receive Your Quote with No Surprises

We build your estimate based on our findings during the inspection. The quote includes removal and repairs, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for. We can get the job started once your No Surprises Quote is accepted.

Humane Exclusion Method

We will install a humane one-way door to the main entry point. Squirrels will naturally leave the home to get food and water, and this device prevents them from re-entering. This is a long-term solution rather than simply trapping an animal that may return.

Return Visits and Final Seal

Squirrels are persistent and may try to chew their way back into your home. We will return every few days to check for new entry points, seal remaining areas, and remove the exclusion device.

Patience Is Key

Squirrels may disappear and come back weeks later when you thought they were handled. Our exclusion service ensures that if an animal re-enters through a sealed area, we’ll fix it at no extra cost. We won’t stop until we find a resolution for you.

The Longer You Wait for Help, the Following Could Happen

  • Other wildlife may enter your home – An entry point open for too long is an invitation for other animals like raccoons and bats to make their way in.
  • The changing weather may entice squirrels to enter – Squirrels look for shelter to have their kits in spring through early summer. In mid-fall through early winter, they seek shelter and build food stores for the colder months.

  • Your roof might incur more damage – If the roof decking or shingles are already compromised and there’s rotting wood present, squirrels might spread since wood that’s soft is easy to chew through.
  • Your neighbors may start to hear squirrels in their homes – When squirrels get used to living in someone’s attic, they may make this their new normal. Carmel’s tree cover and tightly spaced lots mean a squirrel evicted from one roofline may simply move down the street.
Ultimately, the real fix is closing the openings. If your neighbors start dealing with squirrels in their homes, it’s worth having your roofline looked at before you start hearing pitter-patters in yours.
Transparent Pricing

What Affects the Cost of Squirrel Removal Services in Carmel, Indiana?

Every squirrel removal project is different. Rather than quoting a one-size-fits-all price, we provide a fixed-price digital quote based on your specific situation after an in-person inspection. Aspects that might affect the project include:

Type of squirrel

Pine squirrels are smaller, so they can get into foundation areas and travel up inside walls. They chew faster, enter through smaller points, and are more territorial than fox squirrels.

Home type and roof configuration

The size of your home and number of stories will affect your cost. Complex rooflines and natural gaps are prime entry points that need more attention.

Number of entry points

Some homes have one obvious entry point, which can be an easy fix. Others have many entry points along the roofline that require more time and materials.

Size of the infestation and duration

A single squirrel can be handled much quicker than a home that’s been affected by an entire family. More entry points, more damage, and more squirrels to evict take more time and resources.
