Squirrel Removal in Binghamton, NY
Stop Attic Damage Before It Gets Worse
Professional squirrel removal and exclusion for Binghamton homes. We remove squirrels from attics and wall voids, then seal all entry points with chew-proof materials.
Signs of Squirrel Activity
Scurrying and Scratching Sounds in Attic or Walls
Most noticeable during early morning and late afternoon when squirrels are most active.
Chewed Exterior Trim, Fascia, or Soffit
Squirrels gnaw on wood to maintain their teeth and enlarge entry holes.
Droppings in Attic
Small, oblong pellets scattered along travel routes and near entry points.
Chewed Wires in Attic
Squirrels gnaw on electrical wiring, creating a serious fire hazard.
Our Squirrel Exclusion Process
Entry Point Assessment
Identify all active entry points and potential weak spots on the roofline.
One-Way Exclusion
Install one-way exclusion doors that let squirrels leave but prevent re-entry.
Full Roofline Sealing
After exclusion, seal every gap, hole, and vulnerable area with galvanized steel and chew-proof materials.
Why Professional Squirrel Removal Matters
Gray squirrels and red squirrels are Binghamton’s most persistent attic invaders. They chew through wood, plastic, and even aluminum to enter attics, then gnaw on electrical wiring — a leading cause of house fires. Squirrels also compress insulation and contaminate attic spaces. They’re tenacious: a squirrel excluded from one hole will immediately try to chew a new one nearby. That’s why sealing EVERY potential entry point with chew-proof materials is essential for permanent exclusion.
Schedule Free InspectionFrequently Asked Questions
What kind of squirrels get into attics?
Eastern gray squirrels are the most common attic invader in Binghamton, followed by red squirrels (smaller but more destructive). Flying squirrels occasionally enter attics but are nocturnal, so you’ll hear them at night rather than during the day.
Can squirrels chew through steel?
No. Galvanized steel mesh (16-gauge or heavier) is squirrel-proof. This is why we use steel for all exclusion work rather than foam, caulk, or plastic materials that squirrels chew through easily.
When do squirrels have babies?
Two litters per year: late winter (February-March) and mid-summer (July-August). We check for dependent young before excluding and time our work to avoid trapping helpless babies inside.
Is squirrel damage covered by insurance?
Most homeowner’s insurance does not cover wildlife damage. This makes early intervention important — the longer squirrels occupy your attic, the more damage accumulates.
How do you prevent squirrels from coming back?
We seal every gap on your roofline with galvanized steel. We trim branches within 8 feet of the roof (squirrels can jump 8-10 feet). Our exclusion is guaranteed — if a squirrel gets back in through our work, we return at no charge.
