Squirrel Removal, Exclusion & Prevention — How Pricing Works.
Grey squirrels are one of the most common and persistent nuisance animals across Virginia. They are strong chewers, excellent climbers, and creatures of habit — once they find a warm attic, they often return year after year unless the structure is properly sealed. Because every home and roof-line is different, we can only provide ballpark pricing until after a complete inspection.
Below explains exactly how we price, what affects cost, and what most customers typically spend.
-
Standard inspection (within our service area): $75
What you get:
Full exterior and attic inspection (where safe and accessible)
Photos or videos of entry points, chew marks, and interior damage
Identification of active vs. historic activity
A clear plan outlining immediate stabilization, repairs, or full-home exclusion options
Why we start here:
Squirrel damage can be deceptive. They often chew multiple points, making small openings that look harmless but lead into the attic or soffit. A proper inspection helps identify not just where they’re getting in — but why. This allows us to give accurate, honest pricing and eliminate surprises later. -
Ballpark: $250–$450
When squirrels are currently active, we first stabilize the situation:
Install one-way doors to allow exit without re-entry
Secure secondary gaps temporarily
Use camera-monitored traps if needed for stubborn individuals
Note: Female squirrels often raise litters twice a year (late winter and mid-summer). If young are present, we time eviction carefully to prevent separation — protecting both the animals and your home.
-
Ballpark: $150–$550 per entry
Scope typically includes:
Reinforcing chewed fascia, soffits, or roof-line gaps
Installing chew-proof metal flashing and hardware cloth
Wildlife-grade sealants designed for outdoor durability
Before-and-after photo proof
When this makes sense:
If the problem is isolated — a single entry or one corner of the home — a targeted repair can be all that’s needed. For older homes or repeat issues, a full-home exclusion is usually more cost-effective long term. -
Typical homes: $900–$2,000
Complex/large/historic or steep roofs: $3,000–$6,000+What it covers:
Sealing and reinforcing all vulnerable roofline gaps, soffit returns, fascia edges, gable vents, and ridge vents
Installation of chew-proof materials across key access points
Chimney cap if needed (see add-ons below)
Why people choose this:
Squirrels rely heavily on scent trails and memory. Once one discovers your attic, others will try to re-enter — even months later. A full-home exclusion prevents recurring damage, reduces future costs, and provides peace of mind.Guarantee:
All full-home squirrel exclusions include our 3-year guarantee. If squirrels breach our work within that time, we fix it at no cost. -
Sometimes one-way doors aren’t feasible (such as when multiple active points exist). In those cases, humane trapping becomes part of the plan.
Setup package: $225 (up to 2 traps + 2 cellular cameras for monitoring)
Return visits: $60 per trip (for re-baiting, resetting, or animal removal)
No per-animal fee: If two are caught at once, it’s the same trip charge.
Why cameras?
Our traps are cellular-monitored, which means we know immediately when an animal is caught — ensuring fast, humane handling and saving you unnecessary service trips. -
These are only used when necessary:
Ridge-vent guarding — $12–$20 per linear foot installed (30–60 ft = $360–$1,200 typical)
Wildlife-resistant gutter guards: $18–$28 / ft (typical $500–$1,200)
Chew-resistant metal guards that block leaves and deter squirrels from chewing through soft gutter lips or roof edges.
Gable vent guards — $150–$350 each
Soffit or fascia repair — $200–$800 per section
Chimney cap (stainless) — $350–$650 installed
Attic deodorizing or spot sanitation — $200–$600
Full attic restoration — $3–$7 per sq. ft. (only when severe contamination exists)
We never push unnecessary cleanup or replacement work. You’ll always see photos and understand the options before making a decision.
