Squirrel Removal in Philadelphia, PA
Squirrels in the attic, the walls or the cornice of a Philadelphia rowhome or twin. We get them out and cover every gap they use with metal.
Local knowledge
Squirrels in Philadelphia
Wires and street trees
Philadelphia squirrels run the wires and street trees to reach the cornice and the gap behind the gutter. We check the cornice, the back roof and the vents on both sides of your house.
Back roofs and additions
They also chew in where a flat rear roof or an addition meets the main wall.
Every part of the city
We take squirrel calls across Philadelphia, from South Philadelphia and Fishtown to Germantown, Mount Airy and the Northeast.

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.
- 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 Philadelphia
Can squirrels get into my rowhome from the house next door?
Yes. The roofs and cornices along a row connect, so a squirrel nesting in one house can run to the next. We check the roofline on both sides of yours and tell you about openings next door when we see them.
