Our Detailed Squirrel Removal Process
Comprehensive Property Inspection
Our process begins with a detailed inspection of your property, both inside and out. This allows us to identify all potential entry points, assess the scope of the infestation, and determine the type of squirrel causing the problem. We examine attics, roofs, walls, and other areas where squirrels are likely to nest. We look for droppings, gnaw marks, and other evidence of squirrel activity.
Humane Trapping and Removal
Once we've completed the inspection, we'll implement a humane trapping and removal strategy. We use live traps that are designed to capture squirrels without harming them. The captured squirrels are then relocated to a suitable habitat away from your property. We adhere to all local regulations and guidelines for wildlife removal.
Entry Point Sealing and Exclusion
Preventing Future Infestations
After the squirrels have been removed, it's crucial to seal entry points to prevent future infestations. We use durable materials to seal cracks, gaps, and holes in your roof, walls, and foundation. We also install chimney caps and other exclusion devices to prevent squirrels from re-entering your property. This step is essential for providing long-term squirrel control.
Decontamination and Sanitation
Cleaning Up After Squirrels
Squirrels can leave behind droppings, urine, and nesting materials that can pose health risks. We offer decontamination and sanitation services to remove these contaminants and sanitize affected areas. This helps to eliminate odors and prevent the spread of diseases. Our cleaning products are safe for your family and pets.
Preventive Advice and Maintenance
We'll provide you with expert advice on preventing future squirrel infestations. This may include trimming trees away from your roof, removing bird feeders, and securing garbage cans. We can also provide ongoing maintenance and inspection services to ensure that your property remains squirrel-free.

Common Signs You Need Squirrel Removal in St. Augustine
Scratching Noises in the Attic or Walls
One of the most common signs of a squirrel infestation is hearing scratching, scampering, or chewing noises in your attic or walls. Squirrels are active animals, and they often make a lot of noise as they move around, build nests, and search for food. These noises can be especially noticeable during the early morning and late evening hours.
If you're hearing these sounds, it's important to take action quickly. Squirrels can cause significant damage to your property, and the longer they're allowed to stay, the more damage they're likely to cause. Contact Ant & Rodent Pest Control St. Augustine for a professional inspection and removal service. We'll quickly identify the source of the noise and implement a plan to remove the squirrels humanely and effectively.
Visible Squirrel Activity
If you're seeing squirrels entering or exiting your home, that's a clear sign that you have a problem. Squirrels may enter your home through holes in the roof, gaps in the siding, or openings around pipes and vents. Look for squirrels around your gutters, chimneys, and other areas where they might be able to gain access.
Visible squirrel activity is a serious concern because it indicates that squirrels have already found a way into your home. They're likely building nests, storing food, and potentially causing damage to your property. Don't wait until the problem gets worse. Call Ant & Rodent Pest Control St. Augustine to schedule a squirrel removal service. We'll seal entry points and implement a comprehensive plan to prevent future infestations.
Damage to Your Home
Chewed Wires and Structural Damage
Squirrels are rodents, and they have a natural instinct to chew things. They can cause significant damage to your home by chewing on wires, insulation, and wood. Chewing on electrical wires is especially dangerous because it can create a fire hazard. Squirrels can also damage your roof by chewing through shingles and causing leaks.
Damage to your home is a serious indication that you need squirrel removal services. Contact Ant & Rodent Pest Control St. Augustine to assess the extent of the damage and develop a plan to repair the damage and remove the squirrels. We'll also implement preventive measures to protect your home from future infestations.
Squirrel Droppings and Nesting Material
Identifying Signs of Infestation
Squirrel droppings and nesting material are other signs of a squirrel infestation. Squirrel droppings are small, dark pellets that can be found in attics, basements, and other areas where squirrels are active. Nesting material may include leaves, twigs, and other soft materials that squirrels use to build their nests.
The presence of droppings and nesting material indicates that squirrels have been living in your home for some time. It's important to remove these materials to prevent the spread of diseases and eliminate odors. Ant & Rodent Pest Control St. Augustine offers decontamination and sanitation services to remove droppings and nesting material and sanitize affected areas. [/elementor-template]
Unexplained Energy Bill Increases
Squirrels can cause significant damage to your insulation by tearing it apart and using it to build their nests. This can reduce the effectiveness of your insulation and lead to higher energy bills. If you've noticed an unexplained increase in your energy bill, it could be a sign that you have a squirrel infestation.
Energy bill increases are a direct result of energy loss from the squirrels. Also, the longer the squirrels are there, the more damage they can do so you should call Ant & Rodent Pest Control St. Augustine sooner than later to save money and energy.
