New Video Alert: Comprehensive Toronto Squirrel Removal Guide – Protect Your Home from Furry Intruders!

2/2/2025

0 Comments

 
Squirrels may be cute when you spot them outside in the park or in the trees, but when they invade your home, they can become a costly and potentially dangerous problem. That’s why we’re excited to announce the release of our new comprehensive squirrel removal video, where we break down everything you need to know about why squirrels invade your home, the risks they pose, and the best ways to prevent an infestation from happening in the first place.

If you’ve ever heard rustling in your attic or walls, or noticed damage to your roof or insulation, this video is for you! Watch it now to get expert advice and learn how TSR Pest Control can help you solve your squirrel problems once and for all.

Why Do Squirrels Enter Homes?

Squirrels are opportunistic creatures, and while they might seem harmless, they are incredibly resourceful when it comes to finding shelter. During colder months, squirrels will look for warm, dry places to nest – and your attic or walls can provide the perfect environment. In urban areas, squirrels are especially likely to target homes because they are safe from predators and offer easy access to food sources like birdseed, trash, or even food left out in kitchens.

But it’s not just cold weather that drives squirrels into homes. These creatures will take advantage of any access point they can find throughout the year. Whether it’s a small gap in the soffit, a loose roof vent, or a crack in the siding, squirrels will find their way in if they see an opportunity.

The Damage Squirrels Can Cause to Your Home

While squirrels may seem cute, they can be extremely destructive once inside your home. Here’s a look at the types of damage squirrels are known to cause:


  • Chewing on Electrical Wires: Squirrels’ teeth grow continuously, and they need to gnaw on hard materials to keep them from growing too long. Unfortunately, that often means chewing through wires. This can lead to electrical shorts, power outages, and even fires.

  • Gnawing on Insulation and Wood Beams: Squirrels often chew on insulation and wooden beams, causing structural damage and making your home less energy-efficient.

  • Damaging Plumbing: Squirrels can also damage plumbing lines by chewing on pipes, leading to water leaks and additional repair costs.

  • Nesting and Droppings: Once inside, squirrels will build nests in attics or walls, and their droppings and urine can lead to unsanitary conditions and health risks, including the spread of bacteria and parasites like fleas and ticks.

The Risks of Leaving Squirrel Infestations Untreated

If you suspect that you have a squirrel problem, it’s crucial to act quickly. Left untreated, a small squirrel infestation can escalate into a much larger issue. Squirrels breed twice a year, and a pair of squirrels can produce up to 12 babies annually. As the young squirrels mature, they’ll start looking for their own space and can contribute to further damage and infestations.

Beyond the structural and property damage, squirrels can also introduce serious health risks. Their urine and feces can contaminate your attic, leading to the spread of diseases such as leptospirosis and hantavirus. In addition, squirrels can carry parasites like fleas, ticks, and mites, which can then spread to pets and humans.
By addressing the problem early, you can prevent these risks from becoming more severe.

How TSR Pest Control Handles Squirrel Removal

At TSR Pest Control, we take a thorough, humane approach to squirrel removal. We don’t just get rid of the squirrels—we also make sure they don’t come back. Here’s how we handle squirrel infestations:


  1. Thermographic Imaging: We use advanced thermographic imaging to detect the heat signatures of squirrels and their nests inside walls or attics. This helps us pinpoint the exact locations of the squirrels without causing unnecessary damage to your home.

  2. Visual Inspections: Our team conducts thorough visual inspections of attics and other potential nesting areas to assess the damage and identify all entry points.

  3. Humane Trapping and Removal: We use live traps to safely capture squirrels and relocate them away from your home. For tighter spaces, we can also remove squirrels by hand with care and precision.

  4. One-Way Doors: We install one-way doors that allow squirrels to leave your home but prevent them from returning. This is an effective way to ensure that no more squirrels can re-enter the premises.

Preventing Future Infestations: Squirrel-Proofing Your Home

Once the squirrels are removed, it’s important to make sure they don’t come back. The best way to do this is by sealing potential entry points around your home. Common areas where squirrels typically enter include:


  • Soffits: These are one of the most common entry points for squirrels, as they often chew through soffits to access attics.

  • Rooflines: Loose shingles, cracks in the roof, or damaged flashing can provide access to squirrels. These areas should be carefully sealed.

  • Vents and Chimneys: Roof vents, plumbing stacks, and chimneys are prime access points for squirrels looking for a way into your home.

  • Gaps in Siding and Fascia: Squirrels can squeeze through even the smallest gaps in your siding or fascia. These should be sealed with durable, squirrel-proof materials.

At TSR Pest Control, we use top-quality materials to reinforce your home’s exterior and ensure that squirrels won’t find their way back inside. This step is crucial to keeping your home safe and secure from future invasions.
