Squirrel Removal in Metro Atlanta & North Georgia
Squirrels in the attic or soffits — humane removal, exclusion and repair.
About Squirrels in Georgia
Squirrels may be fun to watch in the yard, but once they get into an attic they chew wiring and insulation, nest in the walls and can create a fire hazard. Gray squirrels and flying squirrels are the two most common in Georgia homes.
Lasting squirrel control is about the entry points. Removing the animals without sealing the opening usually means new squirrels move in.

How to Identify Squirrels
Gray squirrels are active during the day and are the ones you see on branches and rooflines. Flying squirrels are smaller, nocturnal and often go unnoticed until you hear them at night.
Signs You May Have Squirrels
- Scratching, running or thumping in the attic or walls, often early morning or at dusk
- Chewed fascia, soffits, vents or roof edges
- Droppings, nesting material or stained insulation
- Squirrels frequently seen on the roof or entering a gap
- Chewed wiring or a burning smell
Why Squirrels Are a Problem in Georgia
Georgia has a large, healthy squirrel population, and mature trees overhanging rooflines make it easy for squirrels to reach homes. They tend to move into attics for shelter and to raise young.

Will squirrels leave on their own?
Sometimes, but they are more likely to stay, especially if they have a nest or young. A professional can remove them humanely and prevent re-entry.
What if there are baby squirrels?
We take care to avoid separating mothers and young, and will explain the best approach after inspecting.
Do you repair the damage?
Yes. We offer both exclusion and remediation.
Why are squirrels dangerous in an attic?
They chew wiring, which can start fires, and they contaminate insulation with droppings and urine.
