Squirrel removal in Swarthmore
Squirrel Removal in Swarthmore, PA
Squirrels in the attic, walls and roof edge.
What you are dealing with
What you can see is usually part of it.
Swarthmore has a lot of old oaks and maples, and squirrels use them to reach the roof. A small gap at a roof corner is enough for them to start chewing.
You hear them early in the morning and again late in the afternoon. They rarely use just one hole, so we check the whole roof edge.
Any of these help us work out what is in there.
- Running or rolling sounds in the ceiling in the morning
- Chewed fascia, trim or vent covers
- Squirrels going to the same spot on the roof
- Leaves and shredded insulation in the attic
- A round hole where two roof lines meet

What happens next
How the job runs.
Check the whole roof edge
We look at every corner, vent and gutter line, not only the hole you have seen.
Get them out
We trap them or put a one-way door on the main hole so they can leave and not come back.
Close every gap
When they are gone we cover each opening with metal they cannot chew.
Price and timing
What changes the price.
Squirrel jobs often need a return visit to check the traps or the one-way door before the last hole is closed.
- How many holes there are
- How high and steep the roof is
- Whether there are young
- How much fascia or trim needs replacing
Questions people ask
What to know about squirrel removal.
Can I just close the hole myself?
Not while a squirrel is inside. It will chew a new hole, often somewhere worse. We make sure they are out first.
When do squirrels have babies?
Usually in early spring and again in late summer. We check for young before closing anything.
Should I cut back the trees?
Trimming branches back from the roof helps. We will point out which ones squirrels are using.
