Camarillo Squirrel Removal & Exclusion

Southern California Squirrel Control

If you are dealing with squirrels, there is one thing that can be said about them: they are fast! Isn’t it impressive when you see a squirrel running from one telephone pole to the next and then virtually they’re gone? They must be hitting sonic speeds as soon as they get the sensation that danger may be near. The funny thing is, that sense of danger actually triggers your adrenaline as you think to yourself: Oh no, it found my home! Maybe it is because you know what they’re cable of and you see right through that cute and innocent act of theirs.

The unfortunate thing is, squirrels are known for getting into our homes simply to have their babies away from dangerous prey. This means they are often targeting our attics as their humble abodes! The reason for this is to take advantage of the height and relaxation from the noise to raise their beautiful babies

The presence of squirrels can be detrimental to your home, well after they have vacated. If this is something you experience, call our Camarillo squirrel control professionals at (805) 866-0648 or contact us online.

How Squirrels Damage Your Property

When it comes to squirrels, the prospect of them damaging your property is more than chasing one hole out of your yard each summer as you are tilling the dirt. They have potentially set up shop in your totality of the structure that stood hours ago. That is right, this is not something where a piece of sod must be ripped up — it is a hole within your drywall or brick facade. They have been gnawing through your home with their keen teeth that can do much more that chew nuts into pieces.

If you have war zone-sized holes in your drywall after the squirrels have gone, this could be doing damage to the following components of your wall, which lead to structural instability and will require professional patching:

• Electrical outlets
• Phone lines

However, the interior walls are not the only components they can get to. If damaged enough, they can even get through the exterior walls of your home! When this happens, the issue is that often times squirrels are attracted to homes with less secure basements. So if you have any strange appearances of a small family, this needs to be the first place you check!

FAQs About Squirrels in Your Home

Can Squirrels hurt you?

In essence, any wild animal may have the ability to hurt you, but from a statistical side, squirrels are rarely associated with aggression toward humans. When cornered though, or if they feel like you may be coming after their young (which they are super protective of), they could possibly try and attack.

Will squirrels move their nests?

No, if they have taken up residence in your attic, they do not move and they will not be moving until they are ready to leave naturally and find a new nesting site. If you have a squirrel invasion, regardless if it is spring or not, a squirrel trapping company, such as Ekoterra, may be able to find ways to (1) trap all of the squirrels in your home and (2) locate and then (3) seal all of the holes used to provide entry once they are fully gone. This will ensure the problem is completely resolved.
