Squirrels are among the most commonly encountered wildlife in urban and suburban areas. These agile creatures are often seen foraging in yards, climbing trees, and scurrying across rooftops and power lines. While they may appear harmless, squirrels can quickly become a serious nuisance when they invade homes. Seeking shelter, food storage, and nesting opportunities, they frequently gain access to attics, ceilings, basements, and other secluded areas within residential properties. Once inside, they can cause extensive damage and create ongoing disturbances.
Squirrels have strong, ever-growing teeth, requiring them to gnaw constantly to keep them in check. Unfortunately, when they enter homes, they often chew through electrical wiring, insulation, wooden beams, and drywall. This behavior can lead to:
Additionally, squirrels often build nests in insulation, using materials such as leaves, paper, and attic debris. This nesting behavior further compromises insulation effectiveness and creates a breeding ground for other pests.
Technicians at Southland Pest Control are highly trained and state-licensed, ensuring they have the expertise to handle any squirrel infestation effectively. Continuous education and training keep them updated on the latest pest control methods.
After the initial squirrel treatment, we offer follow-up services to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and address any recurring issues. Regular check-ups ensure a long-term solution to squirrel problems.

Unlike nocturnal pests, squirrels are active during the day, and their presence can be incredibly disruptive. Homeowners frequently hear scratching, scurrying, and gnawing noises coming from the attic or within walls. This can make it difficult to sleep or focus during the day, particularly if the squirrels have taken up residence near living spaces.
Beyond structural damage and noise, squirrels also pose serious health risks. They can carry parasites like fleas, ticks, and mites, which can spread to pets and humans. Their droppings and urine can harbor bacteria and viruses, leading to potential respiratory issues and contamination concerns. Squirrels have been known to carry diseases such as:

One of the most effective ways to keep squirrels away is through habitat modification. Trimming tree branches near the house eliminates easy access to rooftops, while keeping bird feeders at a distance or using squirrel-proof designs prevents attracting these pests. We also advise against planting oak or walnut trees close to the home, as these trees provide a steady food source for squirrels. Regular property maintenance, such as clearing debris and sealing potential entry points, is essential for long-term squirrel prevention.
