Stop Squirrels from Damaging Your Attic

Squirrels are highly active rodents that often make their way into homes through roof vents, chimneys, and soffits — especially in the fall and winter when they seek shelter from the cold. Once inside, they can cause serious damage by chewing wires, tearing insulation, and building nests inside wall cavities or ceilings.

At USX Pest, we specialize in humane squirrel removal and permanent exclusion. Our trained technicians identify every access point, safely trap and remove squirrels, and install wildlife-proof materials to keep them out for good. We also provide attic restoration services to remove droppings, replace contaminated insulation, and eliminate odors left behind.

Squirrel infestations are not only noisy — they’re dangerous. Let USX Pest protect your home with a proven process that seals, cleans, and restores your attic and prevents future infestations.

Yes. We offer attic cleaning, insulation replacement, and light structural repairs to restore any areas affected by the squirrels.
