Squirrel Removal in Dallas

Full-Service Wildlife & Pest Control, Backed by Nearly 40 Years in North Texas

Squirrels are one of the more common wildlife intruders Dallas homeowners deal with, and they don’t limit their activity to any single season. At Addison Pest Control of Texas, we’ve handled squirrel removal as part of our full-service pest control operation since 1986. As a local, family-owned company, we bring nearly four decades of North Texas experience to every job, and because we’re not a wildlife-only operator, any related pest issues uncovered during a squirrel job can be addressed in the same visit. We serve residential and commercial properties throughout the Dallas Metro, and every job starts with a free inspection and estimate.

What Squirrels Actually Do to a Dallas Home

A squirrel in the attic isn’t just a nuisance. Because their front teeth never stop growing, squirrels chew continuously, and inside a structure that means electrical wiring, insulation, and wood framing are all at risk. Chewed wiring is a documented fire hazard that homeowners often don’t discover until the damage is already significant.

Health concerns compound the structural ones. Squirrel droppings and urine contaminate insulation and can carry harmful bacteria, including Salmonella. Nesting material and waste also attract secondary pests such as fleas and ticks. Squirrels typically produce two litters per year, with two to four young per litter born in late winter and midsummer, so an unaddressed intrusion grows quickly. They also return to established nesting sites, which means removal without proper exclusion rarely resolves the problem long term.

Signs of a Squirrel Intrusion in Your Home

Squirrels are diurnal, meaning they’re active during daylight hours. That distinction matters: scratching, scurrying, or rolling sounds from attic spaces or walls during the day point toward squirrels rather than the nocturnal wildlife homeowners might first suspect.

Other indicators worth noting:

• Gnaw marks on siding, fascia boards, soffits, or roof edges along the roofline
• Droppings or nesting material visible in the attic, near vents, or around the roofline
• Foul odors in walls or ceilings from waste accumulation or a deceased animal inside a wall void
• Repeated roofline traffic with squirrels entering and exiting the same gap, vent, or soffit opening

Common entry points in Dallas homes include soffits, gable vents, ridge vents, chimneys, and gaps along fascia boards where rooflines meet walls. Squirrels need only a small opening to get in, and they’ll enlarge an existing gap by chewing to fit.

Our Squirrel Removal Process

Our approach follows four steps: inspection, removal, exclusion, and cleanup and repair. Each step matters, and skipping one typically means the problem comes back.

Inspection

We start by identifying all active entry points and documenting structural damage. This assessment shapes every decision that follows, from where we place devices to which gaps get sealed.

Removal

For squirrel removal, we use one-way door exclusion devices. These allow squirrels to exit the structure naturally, without direct trapping or handling, and align with recognized humane wildlife removal practices in Texas.

Exclusion & Entry Point Sealing

Once squirrels have vacated, we seal all identified entry points. Exclusion without thorough sealing leaves the property open to re-entry, since squirrels can return to familiar nesting sites if given the chance.

Cleanup & Structural Repair

We handle cleanup of droppings, nesting material, and soiled insulation, along with repairs to affected structural areas. If squirrels introduced fleas or ticks into the property, we can address those as part of the same service relationship, something a wildlife-only operator typically can’t offer.
