Common Squirrel Problems in Louisville Homes
🏠 Attic Invasions
Squirrels commonly enter attics through roof lines, vents, and small gaps, where they build nests and store food, causing insulation damage.
⚡ Electrical Damage
Squirrels chew on electrical wires, creating fire hazards and causing power outages that can be dangerous and expensive to repair.
🔊 Noise Issues
Active during daylight hours, squirrels create scratching, scurrying, and chattering noises that can be disruptive to daily life.
🏗️ Structural Damage
Squirrels gnaw on wood structures, fascia boards, and soffits to create entry points and expand existing openings.

Why Choose Professional Squirrel Removal?
While squirrels may seem like minor pests, DIY removal often fails because:
- Incomplete Removal: Missing just one squirrel means the problem continues
- Inadequate Exclusion: Squirrels can chew through many common sealing materials
- Safety Risks: Working on roofs and in attics poses fall and injury risks
- Legal Considerations: Squirrel removal must follow state wildlife regulations
- Hidden Damage: Professionals can identify and address electrical and structural damage
