Squirrel & Wildlife Exclusion

Squirrels and wildlife out of your attic

As Minnesota cools off, squirrels and other animals look for warm, dry shelter. Our exclusion team inspects, seals the entry points, and uses one-way exits where needed so they leave and stay out.

How do you keep squirrels and wildlife out of your house in Minnesota? Inspect the roofline, attic, vents, soffits, chimney, and foundation, seal every entry point with durable materials like metal flashing and hardware cloth, use one-way exits where needed so animals can leave before the final seal, then come back to check the work.

Common questions

Do you handle squirrels in the attic?

Yes, through inspection and exclusion. We find the entry points, seal them, install one-way exits where needed so squirrels can leave before the final seal, then come back to check the work.

What other wildlife can you keep out?

Squirrels, raccoons, skunks, and other animals that get into attics, under decks, porches, and sheds. The inspection decides the right plan for your property.

How do squirrels get into a house?

Through gaps at roof edges, soffits, fascia, roof and gable vents, chimneys, and spots where siding or trim has gaps. They can chew to widen small openings, which is why sealing matters.

When are squirrels most active in attics?

Fall and winter, when they look for warm, dry shelter, and spring, when they nest. Squirrels and other animals look for warm places as Minnesota cools off.

Can squirrels damage wiring in the attic?

Yes. Squirrels chew wiring and tear insulation, which is why finding and sealing the entry points matters. The sooner the gaps are closed, the less damage they can do.
