Professional Squirrel Removal
Squirrels are the most common attic invader in the Raleigh-Triangle area. Whether you have gray squirrels chewing through your fascia during the day or flying squirrels scurrying through your attic at night, Rapid Wildlife Removal has the experience and equipment to get them out and keep them out.
Our squirrel removal process goes beyond simple trapping. We perform a comprehensive roof-level inspection, identify every entry point, remove the squirrels using humane methods, and seal your home with animal-proof materials so the problem doesn't come back.
Our Squirrel Removal Process
- Thorough inspection — we inspect your entire roofline, soffits, gable vents, and fascia from the roof level using safety harnesses
- Entry point identification — every chew hole, gap, and potential entry is documented
- Humane trapping & exclusion — live-cage traps and one-way exclusion doors placed at active entry points
- Complete sealing — once squirrels are removed, all entry points are sealed with animal-proof materials
- Damage repair — chewed fascia, soffit, and trim repaired to restore your home's exterior
- Attic assessment — we check for chewed wires, damaged insulation, and recommend attic restoration if needed
Why DIY Squirrel Removal Doesn't Work
Many homeowners try to solve squirrel problems by setting a trap at the obvious entry hole. The problem? Squirrels typically have multiple entry and exit points, and sealing just one hole can trap squirrels inside your attic — leading to desperate chewing that causes even more damage, including to electrical wires. Professional removal accounts for all entry points and removes squirrels systematically.
Squirrel Damage We Commonly See
Chewed electrical wires are the most dangerous consequence of a squirrel infestation. Exposed wires in a dry attic full of insulation create a genuine fire risk. If squirrels have been in your attic, we strongly recommend having the wiring inspected by an electrician after removal.
