Standard inspection (within our service area): $75
- Full exterior and attic inspection (where safe and accessible)
- Photos or video of entry points, chew marks, and interior damage
- Identification of active vs. historic activity
- Clear plan with stabilization, repair, or full-home exclusion options
Why we start here: Squirrel damage can be deceptive. They often chew multiple points that look harmless but lead straight into the attic or soffit. A proper inspection finds not just where they're getting in — but why.
When squirrels are currently active, we stabilize first:
- Install one-way doors to allow exit without re-entry
- Secure secondary gaps temporarily
- Camera-monitored traps if needed for stubborn individuals
Note: Female squirrels 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.
For isolated problems — a single entry or one corner of the home:
- Reinforcing chewed fascia, soffits, or roofline gaps
- Chew-proof metal flashing and hardware cloth
- Wildlife-grade sealants designed for outdoor durability
- Before-and-after photo proof
For older homes or repeat issues, whole-home exclusion is usually more cost-effective long term.
Typical homes: $900–$2,000 | Complex/large/steep roofs: $3,000–$6,000+
- Seal all vulnerable roofline gaps, soffit returns, fascia edges, gable vents, and ridge vents
- Chew-proof materials across all key access points
- Chimney cap if needed
Why people choose this: Squirrels rely on scent trails and memory. Once one discovers your attic, others will try to re-enter even months later. A full exclusion prevents recurring damage and future costs.
3-year guarantee: If squirrels breach our work within the guarantee period, we fix it at no cost.
When one-way doors aren't feasible — such as when multiple active points exist simultaneously:
- Setup package: $225 — up to 2 traps + 2 cellular monitoring cameras
- Return visits: $60 per trip for re-baiting, resetting, or animal removal
- No per-animal fee — two caught at once is still one trip charge
Why cameras? We monitor traps remotely so we know immediately when an animal is caught — ensuring fast, humane handling.
Priced only when relevant to your situation. We never push add-ons that aren't genuinely needed.
We never push unnecessary cleanup or replacement work. You'll always see photos and understand the options before making a decision.

Schedule an Inspection Contact UsSquirrel removal in South-Central Virginia starts with a $75 inspection. A single-entry fix typically totals around $600. Two-entry situations with moderate chewing run $885–$1,585. Whole-home exclusion with a 3-year guarantee typically runs $900–$2,000 for average homes, and $3,000–$6,000+ for large or complex rooflines. No per-animal fees.
Squirrels make fast scratching and scurrying sounds — lighter and quicker than raccoon thumping. Activity is usually during the day, particularly at dawn and dusk. Other signs include chewed fascia or vent screens, small entry holes 1.5–2 inches wide along rooflines, and scattered small droppings inside the attic.
Yes — more than most people expect. Squirrels chew constantly to keep their teeth trimmed and electrical wiring is a common target, creating a real fire hazard. They also damage insulation, compromise structural materials, and can contaminate attic space with droppings and nesting material. The longer they're in, the more expensive the repair.
Gray squirrels are active during the day and make the familiar scurrying sounds. Flying squirrels are nocturnal — if you're hearing attic activity at night and can't find raccoon signs, flying squirrels are a common culprit. They're much smaller, enter through tiny gaps, and often come in large numbers. The inspection and pricing approach is similar but the exclusion method differs. See our flying squirrel pricing page for specifics.
Yes, if entry points aren't properly sealed. Squirrels rely heavily on scent trails and memory — once one finds your attic, others will try to return. That's why exclusion matters more than trapping alone. Our full-home exclusion packages include a 3-year guarantee: if squirrels breach our work within that period, we fix it at no cost.
Squirrels are active year-round in Virginia but attic intrusions spike during two litter seasons — late winter (January–March) and mid-summer (June–August) — when females seek safe nesting sites. If young are present during eviction, we time removal carefully to avoid trapping or separating litters.
Tree squirrels are a familiar sight — lively, curious, and entertaining. But when they find a way into your attic, soffits, or under your solar panels, they can cause serious damage fast. We'll remove them, repair the damage, and keep them out for good.
