SQUIRREL REMOVAL PROCESS
Assess and Remove
Our comprehensive 50 point home inspection is designed to determine squirrel entry points and home damage. The attic is a common den site for squirrels where they gain accessing by chewing holes or slipping in between building materials. We then use hands-on removal techniques to humanely evict the squirrels.
Clear and Clean
Squirrels are notorious for creating large, messy nests within their den site and causing damage through chewing. Skedaddle will thoroughly clear away any nesting material and debris from the den and clean up the mess left behind. We can also replace soiled insulation and damaged ductwork if required.
Prevent and Protect
Our final step is making sure your home is protected, not only against the current intruders, but all the other squirrels in your neighbourhood. To keep them out we will secure the entry points we identified, as well any other potential vulnerabilities.

Several Species Of Squirrels in Prince George’s County
Prince George’s County, Maryland is home to several species of squirrels, each one unique in its appearance and behavior. Among them are the eastern gray squirrel, the fox squirrel, and the southern flying squirrel. The eastern gray squirrel is the county’s most common and recognizable squirrel, with its bushy tail and gray fur. The fox squirrel, on the other hand, is larger and has reddish-brown fur, making it easy to spot. The southern flying squirrel is much smaller and has a distinctive flap of skin that allows it to glide from tree to tree.
Despite their differences in appearance and behavior, all of these adorable squirrels, with their bushy tails and nimble movements, contribute to the vibrant wildlife of PG County. As they scurry through the trees and gather nuts, these charming creatures add an extra touch of natural beauty to the already picturesque area, captivating the hearts of residents and visitors alike.
Health Concerns Squirrels Can Create
Squirrels are undoubtedly charming creatures with their agile and playful behavior on trees, making them quite a delight to watch. However, if squirrels invade your home, the consequences can be disastrous. Even one squirrel can easily transform into an entire infestation, causing extensive damage to your property. Their relentless gnawing on walls, wires, insulation, and furniture not only causes extensive damage but also leaves you with a hefty repair and replacement bill that can put a dent in your wallet. It’s crucial to address this issue promptly to prevent further destruction and safeguard your home from these intruders.
Furthermore, these rodents can pose a significant safety risk to your family as they are known to carry various diseases and parasites.
Some of the diseases that squirrels carry include salmonellosis, leptospirosis, and tularemia. When squirrels get into our homes, they can bring these diseases with them and spread them through their droppings and urine. This is particularly dangerous for families with small children, the elderly, or those with weakened immune systems. Therefore, it is imperative to get rid of squirrels as soon as you suspect an infestation to keep your home safe and damage-free.
