SQUIRREL REMOVAL AND CONTROL IN DALLAS, TEXAS

Squirrels inhabit homes most frequently in Dallas, Texas during the fall, winter, and spring and are often heard in the attic right around sunrise and sunset, and occasionally throughout the day as well. The spring time, when they are nesting and breeding, is when squirrels are most active and cause the most damage. Once you have a squirrel infestation, they wreak havoc on your attic, chewing through shingles, air conditioning duct work and damaging beams… Making squirrel control necessary. Squirrels are also known to be a culprit in electrical fires caused by chewing through live wires in your attic.

They leave droppings and urinate throughout pockets of the attic insulation and cause extensive damage to your home’s fascia boards, soffits and vents. It’s very common to see heavy chewing on all wood areas of the home, including baseboards at the foot of the structure. Typically, you will also hear scratching and running in your attic around sunrise and sunset. Squirrels are the only diurnal animal that is found in attics, which makes identifying them easy as you won’t hear them throughout the night like the other animals that nest in attics.

Squirrels are actually among the tidier rodents and set up latrines where they urinate and defecate. Unfortunately, this is often stationed in your attic insulation once they have made your home their own. They are also the least invasive of the rodents, and typically stay away from man-made structures until the population becomes too large and uncontrolled. As highly territorial creatures, it is important to ensure impossibility of re-entry into your home to prevent the infestation from manifesting itself again. The most vulnerable point of entry on every home is the roof, and squirrels frequently jump from branches up to 8 or 10 feet from the residence onto the roof and climb through small openings under the eaves.
