Nuisance Concerns
Squirrels love attics. They also love to chew. These notorious animals will chew on wires, pipes and ducts. The noises of squirrels running about above the ceiling can be quite annoying, but it’s really the chewing that’s a problem. If they chew on electrical wires, it can create a potential fire hazard. They also leave urine and feces in an attic.
Squirrel Behavior
Squirrels are usually active in morning and evening. They eat mostly seeds and nuts. They live in various habitats, both forest and city areas. They often communicate via chattering or flickering of the tail.
Squirrel Biology
They are usually gray, sometimes brown, red or black. Adults weigh about one pound. They can live for up to ten years, but in the wild their life expectancy isn’t more than 3-4 years. The female gives birth to 3-4 young ones.
Squirrel Diseases
They do not carry any important diseases, but they do carry parasites. They also leave a lot of droppings, which pose health risks, such as Salmonella or leptospirosis.

When squirrels raid your home or business, they can cause significant damage. They can chew on wires and destroy insulation in walls and attics. One of the most effective squirrel control methods is to trap them. Pro Wildlife Niagara will set traps to catch the squirrels from your home or business in St. Catharines, Niagara falls, Welland and Grimsby. We then monitor every hole to ensure no squirrels are left behind.
How does humane squirrel removal work?
Humane squirrel removal means letting the squirrels leave and making sure they can’t get back in, not trapping and moving them. Pro Wildlife Niagara seals the secondary gaps with metal and puts a one-way door on the main entry. We check for babies in spring and late summer, then seal the last hole and fit steel guards on the roof vents.
Common squirrel entry points on Niagara homes: damaged roof vents, loose or rotted soffits and fascia, roof intersections, utility-line openings, and construction gaps near dormers and roof peaks. See why squirrels chew through roof vents and signs of squirrels in your attic.
Why not trap them? Ontario requires live-caught animals to be released within 1 km, so a trapped squirrel can come straight back. Trapping a nursing mother also strands her babies. See squirrel trap not working?
What it costs: squirrel removal with exclusion typically runs $700–$1,500 plus HST. The smallest jobs are around $500, and complex roofs can cost more. The inspection is $75–$100 plus HST and is credited toward the work. See the price guide.
