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.
Roofline and Attic Inspection
We assess the attic, soffits, vents, and roof for squirrel nests, damage, and active entry points. We also identify droppings, shredded materials, and chewed wires.
Trapping and Humane Removal
We place live traps and one-way doors at squirrel access points to safely remove all animals without harm. Our methods comply with local wildlife guidelines.
Exclusion and Restoration
After removal, we seal all entry points using chew-resistant materials and repair damage to insulation, ductwork, or framing as needed.

Protect Your Wiring and Insulation
Squirrels gnaw constantly to manage their growing teeth, and your home’s wires, pipes, and beams are all at risk. Their chewing can lead to fire hazards, water leaks, and structural issues. USX Pest removes the source of the problem and repairs the damage to restore safety.
Seal Entry Points and Keep Squirrels Out
Our team installs heavy-duty vent guards, chimney caps, and roofline sealing to ensure squirrels cannot reenter. We also recommend tree trimming and yard adjustments to reduce outdoor attractants.

Signs of a Squirrel Infestation
Squirrels can go unnoticed until they’ve caused serious attic damage. Look for these signs.
Loud Scratching or Scurrying Noises
Squirrels are most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Noises overhead may signal they’re running through your attic.
Chewed Roof Vents or Gable Ends
Squirrels often chew through plastic roof vents, soffits, or gaps around dormers to enter the attic space.
Droppings and Nesting Materials
Look for clusters of droppings, shredded insulation, leaves, and twigs — all signs of an established squirrel nest.
Chewed Wires or Pipes
Exposed wires or plastic plumbing with gnaw marks indicate that squirrels have been chewing inside walls or ceilings.
Odors in the Attic or Walls
Squirrel urine and feces produce strong smells that can saturate insulation and attract other pests.
Tree Limbs Overhanging the Roof
Squirrels use branches to leap onto rooftops and find small holes or soft spots to gain entry.
