Squirrel Removal & Control
Humane squirrel removal from attics and walls — with full exclusion to keep them from chewing their way back in.
The Problem
The Squirrel Problem
Squirrels may look harmless, but inside your home they're destructive. They chew through wood, wiring, and even PVC pipes — creating fire hazards and water damage. In attics, they tear insulation for nesting, leave droppings, and make noise that disrupts your sleep. A squirrel nest in your attic can cause serious damage in a short time.
In the GTA, grey and red squirrels are the main culprits. They're most active during the day, so you'll hear scurrying, scratching, and rolling sounds in your ceiling or walls in the morning and afternoon. Spring and late summer are birthing seasons, when mothers seek out attics to raise their young.
The Causes
What Causes Squirrels to Move In
Squirrels enter through roof vents, soffit gaps, loose siding, and holes they chew themselves. They're excellent climbers and use overhanging branches, power lines, and downspouts to reach your roof. Once inside, they build nests in the insulation and raise their young.
Attics are warm, dry, and safe — perfect for squirrels. They're attracted by nearby food sources too: bird feeders, nut trees, and gardens. If entry points aren't sealed, squirrels will return year after year, often the same spots.
What Marsh Does
Inspection
We inspect your roof, attic, and exterior to locate the squirrels, find every entry point, and check for nesting babies.
Humane Removal
We install one-way doors over entry points so squirrels can leave but not return. If babies are present, we remove them carefully and reunite them with the mother outside.
Exclusion & Sealing
We seal all entry points with squirrel-proof materials — securing vents, repairing soffits, and capping chimneys — so they can't chew their way back in.
Cleanup & Prevention
We remove nesting material and droppings, sanitize the area, and advise on trimming branches and removing food sources to keep squirrels away.
What to Expect
What You Can Expect
We respond within 1 hour and offer same-day or next-day inspections. Squirrels are usually removed within a few days using one-way doors. If babies are present during birthing seasons, we handle them humanely and in line with Ontario wildlife regulations.
We guarantee our exclusion work — if squirrels get back in through a sealed area, we come back to fix it.
