Squirrels questions from Central Massachusetts residents

We install one-way exclusion devices that let squirrels leave but prevent re-entry. Once all squirrels have exited, we seal openings permanently. This humane method avoids trapping mothers away from babies.

Squirrels gnaw constantly to wear down their teeth. They damage wiring, insulation, and wood. Their urine and droppings contaminate attic insulation. Prompt exclusion prevents costly repairs.

Avoid exclusion during baby season (March-April and August-September) when young may be trapped inside. We check for babies before sealing and time exclusion appropriately.

We use metal materials that squirrels can't gnaw through. Trimming trees and removing roof access points eliminates their routes. Our work includes a warranty against re-entry.
