Local knowledge

Squirrels in Folcroft

Trees near the refuge

Folcroft homes near the refuge and Darby Creek have trees close by. Squirrels jump to the roof from branches that reach it.

Every corner of the roof

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

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.

Squirrel removal in Folcroft

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.

  • How many holes they are using
  • How steep and high the roof is
  • Whether there are young in the attic
  • How much chewed wood needs covering

Questions people ask

Questions about squirrels in Folcroft

Will a one-way door work for squirrels?

Often. We fit it over the main hole so they can leave but not come back, then close the rest of the gaps.
