Behavior and habits
They enter attics through eave gaps and chewed openings, nesting in insulation, especially in fall.
Why squirrels are a problem
Chewed wiring, ruined insulation, and daytime scratching in ceilings.
How Antex handles squirrels
Our technicians confirm the species first, because effective control depends on it. Then we treat the source: nesting sites, harborage, and the routes onto your property, using professional products applied precisely. If pests return between scheduled visits, we'll come back and address the issue at no additional cost.
Prevention tips
Trim branches off the roof, reinforce eave vents with metal screen, and act fast at the first sound.
