Squirrel Removal in Indianapolis
Hearing scratching, running, or chewing inside your attic during the day? You may have squirrels.
Nature-Nix Wildlife Removal provides professional squirrel removal in Indianapolis and surrounding areas. We help homeowners identify where squirrels are getting inside, safely remove them, and address the entry points that allow them access to the home.
Squirrels can cause more damage than many homeowners realize. Once they get into an attic, they may chew on wood, insulation, wiring, vents, and other materials while creating nests and leaving behind waste.
Signs of Squirrels in Your Attic
Squirrels are generally active during the daytime, making the timing of the noise one of the first clues.
Common signs include:
Scratching or running sounds during the day
Chewing noises
Squirrels entering or leaving the roofline
Damage around soffits or fascia
Chewed vents or openings
Nesting material in the attic
Damaged insulation
Gnaw marks on wood or other materials
If the noises are primarily occurring during daylight hours, squirrels are one possibility worth investigating.
Professional Squirrel Removal
Our squirrel removal process starts with an inspection.
We look for signs of animal activity and potential entry points around the exterior of the structure. Depending on the situation, removal may involve trapping, monitoring, and exclusion.
We also look for signs that more than one animal may be using the structure.
Simply removing one squirrel doesn't necessarily solve the problem. If an accessible opening remains, another animal may eventually move in.
Squirrel Exclusion
Once the wildlife has been removed, exclusion can help prevent future entry.
Potential entry points may include:
Soffits
Fascia
Roof vents
Gable vents
Roofing transitions
Chimney areas
Utility penetrations
Other damaged exterior areas
The appropriate repair depends on the structure and the opening.
Squirrels in Attics
Attics are common targets for squirrels because they provide shelter from weather and predators.
Unfortunately, squirrels don't understand that your attic isn't their home.
They may chew through materials to create access, build nests inside insulation, and damage electrical wiring.
If you hear repeated scratching or running overhead during the day, it's worth having the situation inspected before the damage increases.
