Squirrels in Ontario Homes
Ontario is home to two squirrel species that commonly invade homes: the red squirrel and the eastern grey squirrel. Both are well-adapted to urban and suburban life and are at home nesting in attics and porch roofs. As rodents, squirrels have no difficulty gnawing through wood, insulation, and soffits to get inside.
Our Squirrel Removal Process
We use a proven humane 4-step process to get squirrels out and keep them out:
- Step 1 – Inspect: Complete exterior inspection to identify all existing squirrel entry points and potential problem areas.
- Step 2 – Plan: Develop a plan for humane hands-on removal or use of one-way door. Present you with a written proposal.
- Step 3 – Remove: Begin humane eviction process and install wildlife-proofing hardware.
- Step 4 – Final Inspection: Final follow-up inspection and removal of the one-way door.
Why Squirrels Are Dangerous in Your Home
Unlike raccoons, squirrels generally pose limited health concerns — but they create serious safety hazards inside your home:
- Fire hazard: In attics and inside walls, squirrels chew electrical wires, which can cause house fires.
- Carbon monoxide risk: In furnace and water heater chimneys, squirrels have been known to create 100% blockages with nesting material, resulting in dangerous and potentially fatal carbon monoxide build-ups.
- Structural damage: Squirrels gnaw through insulation, wood framing, and soffits, causing costly repairs.
