Squirrel Removal:
What Homeowners Must Know.
Before taking action, it’s important to understand squirrel behavior, why infestations happen, and what protects your home long-term.
Are Squirrels Dangerous?
Why Squirrel Removal Is Specialized
Why DIY Squirrel Removal Fails
Squirrels can pose serious risks when living in or around homes. They frequently chew electrical wiring, which increases fire risk, and damage insulation, wood, and structural components while nesting. Squirrels can carry parasites and contaminate attic spaces with waste. When trapped or cornered, they may bite or scratch. Left untreated, squirrel activity escalates quickly and creates major property concerns.
Every squirrel situation is different. Proper removal requires identifying entry points, assessing damage, and implementing a long-term exclusion plan.
Squirrel removal is regulated because improper handling can cause unnecessary suffering, violate wildlife laws, and fail to solve the problem. Many states regulate trapping methods, relocation practices, and timing due to breeding seasons. Removing squirrels without addressing entry points often leads to repeat infestations, orphaned young, and structural damage. Legal removal focuses on proper exclusion, humane practices, and long-term prevention.
DIY squirrel removal frequently fails because squirrels are intelligent, persistent, and highly destructive when stressed. Blocking entry points without removing animals traps them inside and increases damage. Relocation attempts rarely solve the problem and often cause squirrels to re-enter through new areas. DIY attempts also fail to identify all access points, allowing squirrels to return. These mistakes typically make the problem more expensive and difficult to correct later.

Jim came to our house as scheduled. Prompt, courteous, clean cut, very business oriented. Respectful when discussing our concerns. He explained the steps he would be taking to resolve our issues. Went about his business. Came to door upon completion. Yard and drive were clean upon completion of the job. We are extremely pleased we hired this company to address our concerns. We will definitely look to them again in the future for any work they can do for us. I would give them a 10. You can't find a better company to help you and at a great price. Thank you.
I had a fantastic experience with Shields! They were fast to answer my initial call and maintained excellent communication throughout the time I worked with them. Jim was very knowledgeable — he diagnosed and resolved my squirrel problem quickly and efficiently, and for a reasonable price. The whole team was both professional and friendly. Couldn’t ask for anything more and highly recommend working with Shields for any wildlife removal needs!
We called Shields Wildlife Removal for a quote for bee removal and replacement of siding on a 3 story apartment building. We okayed the contract on a Thursday and the job was complete within one week. Jim Martin and Colton Pasquale worked from early morning till the sun went down every day. They were very courteous with us and our tenants. We have already had people saying what a difference it made to the building before they were even finished. Jim and Colton did great work. Thank you very much.
