Evicted humanely, roofline sealed properly, guaranteed for life.
Squirrels don’t find a gap in your roof; they make one and keep making them. Because their front teeth never stop growing, a squirrel in your attic chews constantly, including wiring. We evict them humanely, check for a litter first, and repair the damage they’ve caused.

Scratching overhead could be a squirrel, a raccoon, mice, or rats, and the answer changes the whole job. Here’s how to narrow it down before you call.
Heavy and nocturnal suggests a raccoon; faint and nocturnal near the walls suggests mice or rats. Knowing the animal is the first step to getting rid of squirrels in the attic properly.
Every wildlife company in London says it works humanely. Here’s what that involves when there are squirrels in your roof.
We check for young before anything else. Squirrels breed twice a year in Ontario, around March and April, then again in July and August; the young are helpless for roughly their first eight weeks. If a one-way door is installed with a litter still inside, the mother leaves while the kits can’t follow. So we search the nest before any door goes on, and if there are baby squirrels in attic spaces, we remove them by hand and reunite them with the mother outside.
We don’t trap and relocate. Some companies market relocation as a premium service. A squirrel taken from its territory and released somewhere unfamiliar has poor odds, and relocation does nothing about the hole in your roof, so the next squirrel simply moves in.
We use a one-way door. Installed at the entry point, it lets the squirrel leave to forage and then locks behind it. Nothing is handled, nothing is trapped, and the animal isn’t harmed.
That combination — the search first, then the eviction — is what humane squirrel removal in London, Ontario, actually means in practice.

Squirrels chew through what stopped them last time.
We work the entire roofline, soffits, fascia, vents, and attic interior to find every entry point and every weak spot they haven’t exploited yet.
Before any door goes on, we locate the nest and establish whether there’s a litter. Any young are removed by hand and reunited with the mother.
Fitted at the active entry so the squirrels leave on their own and can’t return.
We seal vulnerable points with materials a squirrel can’t chew through. This step makes the guarantee meaningful and is the core of real squirrel proofing services in London, Ontario.
Every stage of our squirrel removal in London, Ontario, is backed by a Lifetime Guarantee. If a squirrel gets back in through a point we sealed, we come back.
Of all the damage wildlife causes to a London home, this is the one that keeps insurers up at night.
Squirrels have to chew. Their incisors grow continuously, so gnawing isn’t a habit; it’s a biological requirement. In an attic, the available materials include roof timbers, plastic vents, PVC pipe, and electrical wiring. Squirrels chewing wires inside a wall or attic void strip the insulation from live conductors, and chewed wiring is a recognized cause of house fires. It’s also invisible until something goes wrong, which is why a squirrel problem is worth treating as urgent rather than seasonal.
They flatten your insulation. Squirrels tunnel through and compact attic insulation to build nests, and compressed insulation loses much of its R-value. That shows up on your heating bill long before you notice it any other way.
And they leave the site marked. Droppings, urine, and nesting material accumulate in the roost, and the scent signals to the next squirrel that this is a proven den site. Getting the animals out is only part of a proper squirrel in attic removal in London; repairing the damage and closing the roofline is the rest.
Not every squirrel problem is the same job. Knowing which species you have tells us what to expect and where to look.
Species | What you’ll notice | Why it matters |
Eastern Gray Squirrel | Active in daylight; chews openings in soffits, fascia and roof vents | Ontario’s dominant species and the usual attic invader. Once it has marked an attic as safe, it will chew through a weak repair to get back in |
Red Squirrel | Smaller, rust-coloured, extremely vocal and territorial | Destructive out of proportion to its size, and caches food in the attic, adding odour and mess |
Flying Squirrel | Nocturnal and silent, easily mistaken for mice or rats | Colonial rather than solitary — what sounds like a couple of mice can be a whole colony, which is a very different job |
Eastern Gray squirrel removal is what most London calls turn out to be. If it’s flying squirrels, the approach changes, and that’s exactly the sort of thing an inspection is for.

Do not block the hole, as it risks sealing animals inside. Check the entire roofline, determine whether there is a litter, install a one-way door to allow squirrels to exit on their own, repair any damage, and proof the roofline. The repair is as important as the eviction if you want to get rid of squirrels in the attic for good.
Don’t seal the entry or handle them; a mother squirrel with young is protective. The litter needs to be removed by hand and reunited with the mother outside before the eviction goes ahead. This is why we search the nest before fitting any door, and it’s the most common mistake in rushed jobs.
Yes, and it’s the most serious risk they pose. Squirrels chew constantly because their teeth grow continuously, and attic wiring is one of the things they chew. Exposed wiring in a roof space is a known cause of house fires and cannot be seen from the interior of the house.
Twice a year. The first litter is born in March/April, the second in July/August, and the young are helpless for about 8 weeks. That means the “is there a litter up there?” question is relevant for a much larger portion of the year than most homeowners realize.
There’s no flat rate. Squirrel removal costs in London, Ontario depend on the number of entry points, the extent of chewing damage to repair, whether a litter is involved, and the amount of roofline to be proofed. We provide a free, written inspection and quote.
Squirrels chew through weak repairs and return to attics they’ve used before, so the fix has to use materials they can’t chew through, along the roofline and every vulnerable point sealed, not just the hole they used. That’s what the Lifetime Guarantee is for.
