Brantford Pest Control

Squirrel Removal in Brantford, Ontario

Get squirrels out of your attic, walls and soffits humanely, and seal the holes so they can’t chew back in.

Quick answer

Brantford Pest Control removes squirrels from attics, walls, soffits and chimneys in Brantford, Ontario. We find the holes squirrels are using, remove them humanely in line with Ontario’s wildlife rules, check for babies, then seal the openings and repair chewed areas. Sealing is essential, because squirrels will chew back in through any weak spot they find.

Grey and black squirrels (eastern grey squirrels) and smaller red squirrels are the species most often found in Brantford attics. Flying squirrels, which are active at night, also get into attics. Squirrels can have young twice a year, in early spring and again in late summer, and they often choose attics for their nests.

Squirrels chew constantly. In attics they can strip insulation, gnaw on wood and chew electrical wiring, which can create a fire risk. Wildlife emergency? Call 519-900-5452 any time, 24/7. Leave a message and we’ll call you back first thing in the morning.

FAQ

Squirrel Removal in Brantford: FAQ

How do squirrels get into my attic?

Squirrels climb trees, wires and walls, then chew through weak spots in soffits, fascia, roof vents and the joints where roof sections meet. They often enlarge small gaps that already exist.

Why do I hear squirrels in the morning?

Grey and red squirrels are most active in the early morning and around dusk, when they leave and return to the nest. Noise in the middle of the night may mean flying squirrels or a raccoon.

When do squirrels have babies?

In Ontario, squirrels can have young twice a year: in early spring and again in late summer. Removal in those periods must account for babies in the nest.

Can I just trap the squirrels?

Ontario rules require live-trapped nuisance wildlife to be released within 1 kilometre of where it was caught, so squirrels can come straight back. Without sealing the holes, trapping rarely solves the problem.

Can squirrels damage wiring?

Yes. Squirrels chew on wires, wood and insulation in attics, and chewed wiring can create a fire risk. Getting them out and sealing the attic quickly limits the damage.

Do you repair squirrel damage?

Yes. Brantford Pest Control seals squirrel entry points and repairs chewed soffits, vents and fascia so squirrels can’t get back in.

How much does squirrel removal cost in Brantford?

The cost of squirrel removal in Brantford depends on the number of holes, whether babies are present, the height and access of the roof and the repair work needed. Brantford Pest Control quotes after hearing about or inspecting the problem, so you know the price before any work starts. Estimates over the phone are free. On-site inspections are available, and the inspection fee is credited toward your treatment if you book. Call 519-900-5452 for a quote.
