How to identify squirrels

Bushy-tailed tree rodents, gray or red, active by day.

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.

Questions

How do I get rid of squirrels?

Store-bought products usually treat the symptom, not the source, which is why the problem returns. Professional control pairs correct identification with source treatment. Call (435) 313-5882 for a free inspection and flat quote.
