Local knowledge

Squirrels in Drexel Hill

Steep roofs and deep eaves

Squirrels chew in where two roof lines meet and under the deep eaves of Drexel Hill's Tudors and twins. Look for a round hole about two inches across.

Built in the 1920s

Much of Drexel Hill went up in the 1920s along the trolley lines from 69th Street. Roof edges that old open up over time, and squirrels find the gaps.

What to look for

Signs it is a squirrel

Running, scratching or rolling sounds in the ceiling early in the morning and before dark
Chew marks on the fascia, the roof corners or the vent covers
Squirrels going in and out at the same spot on the roof
Leaves and shredded insulation in the attic
A round hole about two inches across where two roof lines meet

Before we arrive

Until we get there

Leave the hole open. A squirrel shut inside will chew its way out somewhere else.
Do not put out poison. A squirrel that dies in the wall leaves a smell for weeks.
Write down the times you hear them. It tells us where they are nesting.

How the job goes

1 · Walk the roofline

We check every corner, vent and gutter line, not only the hole you found.

2 · Get them out

We trap them or fit a one-way door over the main hole, so they can leave but not come back.

3 · Check for young

In spring and late summer we look for a nest of young before the last hole is closed.

4 · Seal every gap

When they are out we cover each opening with metal they cannot chew.

Price

What changes the price

We tell you the price of the first visit on the phone before we come out. It depends on your ZIP code. Each return visit to check a trap has its own price, and we tell you that on the phone too.
