Squirrels

Do you hear things running around your attic, there is a good chance that it is squirrels. Squirrel trapping and removal is one our main specialties in Northern Virginia. Northern Virginia is home to both grey squirrels and flying squirrels. Remember grey squirrels move in the daytime and flying squirrels are nocturnal, that will help you determine what species you have.. Since squirrels are such good climbers and need a place to raise their young, or stay warm in the winter, they will easily chew into your attic through your soffits, eaves and fascia. They are very destructive in an attic by chewing wires and destroying insulation. So before you pull all your hair out because you can’t deal with squirrels constantly running in your attic, call us for professional squirrel trapping and removal.
