Squirrel Removal in Eastern Ohio

At Pest Pirates, we provide safe, professional squirrel removal services for homes and businesses throughout Eastern Ohio. Squirrel activity is especially common across Jefferson, Harrison, Stark, Tuscarawas, Carroll, and Belmont Counties, where mature trees, attics, and rooflines create ideal nesting conditions.

Squirrels are active, intelligent animals that play a role in the natural ecosystem. However, when they enter attics, walls, chimneys, or soffits, they can cause serious damage and ongoing disturbances. Once squirrels establish a nesting area inside a structure, the problem rarely resolves without professional intervention.

If you’re hearing scratching or running noises, noticing chewed entry points, or finding insulation damage, squirrels may already be inside your home.

Squirrels commonly enter homes through roof gaps, soffits, vents, or damaged fascia. Once inside, they build nests and may remain for extended periods, especially during colder months or breeding season.

Their constant gnawing behavior can damage wood, insulation, and even electrical wiring, increasing the risk of costly repairs or fire hazards. Squirrels are also highly persistent and may return repeatedly to the same entry points if those areas are not properly secured.

Because squirrels are active during the day, homeowners often notice frequent noise, movement, and disruption once an infestation is established.

While squirrels are not typically aggressive, their presence inside homes can still pose health and safety risks. Squirrels can carry fleas, ticks, and other parasites that may spread to pets or living spaces.

Nesting materials and droppings can contaminate insulation and indoor air quality. Additionally, damaged wiring caused by chewing increases the risk of electrical issues and fire hazards.

Due to these risks, squirrel infestations should always be addressed by trained professionals using safe, humane methods.

Our squirrel removal services are designed to provide effective removal and long-term protection. Every service begins with a detailed inspection to identify entry points, nesting areas, and conditions attracting squirrels to your property.

Once removal is complete, we provide exclusion recommendations and deterrent strategies to help prevent squirrels from returning. This may include securing vulnerable areas, reinforcing access points, and addressing environmental factors that encourage nesting.

All removal methods used by Pest Pirates are humane, effective, and compliant with Ohio wildlife regulations.

Squirrel infestations are often identified by sound and visible damage. Common warning signs include:

• Scratching, running, or scurrying noises in attics or walls
   
• Chewed rooflines, vents, soffits, or fascia
   
• Damaged insulation or nesting material in attics
   
• Daytime animal activity entering or exiting the roof
   
• Droppings or debris near access points
   

Early action can help prevent structural damage and reduce the likelihood of repeat infestations.
