Stop Squirrels From Damaging Your Home

Squirrels may seem harmless outside, but once they get into your attic or walls, they can cause serious damage in a short amount of time. From chewing wires to destroying insulation, squirrels can create costly and dangerous problems for homeowners.

At Heath’s Wildlife Service, we provide safe, humane squirrel removal for homes and businesses across New Hampshire and Southern Maine. We don’t just remove the squirrels — we locate entry points, safely remove the animals, and seal your home to prevent them from coming back.

Squirrels often enter homes through roofs, soffits, vents, and siding, chewing openings to gain access. Once inside, they build nests in insulation and can quickly multiply, especially during breeding seasons.

One of the biggest risks with squirrels is their constant need to chew. As rodents, their teeth never stop growing, which leads them to chew on wood, insulation, and even electrical wiring — creating a serious fire hazard.

With our experience in both wildlife removal and construction, we ensure your home is protected, repaired, and secured for the long term.

Squirrels Removal FAQ

What are the signs that I need squirrel removal services?

Common signs include scratching, chewing, or scampering noises in the attic during the early morning or evening hours. You may also notice chewed entry points along the roofline, damaged insulation, or squirrels entering and exiting your home. Unlike many other animals, squirrels are active during the day, which makes their presence easier to detect.

Are squirrels dangerous to have in your attic?

Yes, squirrels can cause serious damage inside a home. They constantly chew on wood, insulation, and electrical wiring, which can increase the risk of fire. They also leave droppings and urine that create odors and unsanitary conditions.

How do squirrels get into homes?

Squirrels typically enter through small openings along the roofline, including soffits, vents, and fascia boards. They can chew through weak areas to create larger entry points and gain access to attic spaces.

What is the best way to get rid of squirrels?

The most effective solution is professional removal combined with sealing entry points. This ensures the squirrels are removed safely and prevents new ones from getting inside. Our wildlife removal services are designed to handle squirrel infestations from start to finish.

Can squirrels cause damage to my home?

Yes, squirrels can cause extensive damage over time. Their constant chewing can destroy wood framing, insulation, and electrical wiring. In some cases, damaged wiring can create a serious fire hazard if not addressed quickly.

Do squirrels come back after removal?

Squirrels may return if entry points are not properly sealed. Long-term protection requires identifying and repairing these access points. Our wildlife prevention and repair services help protect your home from repeat infestations.

What should I do if I hear scratching in my attic during the day?

Scratching or movement in the attic during daylight hours is often a sign of squirrels. Avoid investigating on your own, as squirrels may become trapped inside walls or ceilings. Learn more about animals in the attic and how these issues are safely resolved.
