Squirrels In The Attic Removal In Brevard County

The cities in Brevard County, Florida that we see the most calls for “squirrels in the attic” are in Melbourne, Viera, Rockledge, Titusville, Cocoa, and Palm Bay. These areas commonly experience squirrel problems in attics or roof spaces because of a mix of large amounts of oak trees, home construction styles, and rapid development.

How Squirrels Get Into Attics

Squirrels are strong climbers and persistent chewers. The most common ways they get into an attic are open or loose soffits, damaged roof vents, gaps around the fascia, and uncapped chimneys. Bird feeders hung too close to the house also draw squirrels onto the roof, where it is only a matter of time before they find a way inside.

Attic Damage and Noise

Eastern gray squirrels are the most common species found in attic infestations in Central Florida. Once inside, squirrels chew through wires, pipes, wood, and insulation, and their droppings can create odors and health concerns. Most homeowners first notice the problem as scratching, scurrying, or thumping noises in the attic or walls, usually in the early morning and late afternoon when squirrels are most active.

Humane Squirrel Trapping and Removal

We employ a “trap door system” to remove squirrels. First, we seal up all the possible entry points except one. Then we mount a repeater trap or cage trap over the final opening. Squirrels pass through the trap as they leave to feed and cannot get back inside. After the animals are gone, we remove the trap and seal the final entry point permanently.

Entry Point Exclusion and Repairs

Removing the squirrels is only half the job. We inspect the entire roofline, seal every current and potential entry point with chew-proof materials, and repair damaged soffits, vents, and fascia so squirrels cannot get back in.

Attic Restoration and Cleanup

Squirrel droppings, urine, and torn insulation left behind in an attic can cause lingering odors and health concerns. Our attic cleanup and decontamination service removes contaminated material, disinfects the space, and restores insulation so your attic is clean and safe again.
