Why Squirrels Are a Serious Problem for Toronto Homes

Squirrels are among the most common wildlife pests in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. A single squirrel entering an attic can cause thousands of dollars in damage within weeks — chewing electrical wires, destroying insulation, and contaminating the space with urine and droppings.
Unlike pest insects, squirrels require a specific approach. Setting traps without sealing entry points simply leads to new animals replacing the ones removed. Pesticon's squirrel removal service combines humane trapping, licensed relocation, and permanent exclusion to resolve the infestation at the source. For properties with multiple wildlife species, our humane wildlife removal team handles raccoons, skunks, birds, and other urban wildlife under the same licensed program.
Pesticon's wildlife technicians are fully licensed under the Ontario Wildlife Act and follow all provincial guidelines for the humane capture and relocation of urban squirrels.

Squirrel Removal Services in Toronto

Grey Squirrel Removal

Eastern grey squirrels are the most common species in Toronto. They enter attics through loose soffits, rotted fascia, and roof vents, chewing through insulation and electrical wiring. Professional removal plus exclusion is the only lasting solution.

Red squirrel entering a Toronto home requiring exclusion and professional removal

Red Squirrel Removal

Red squirrels are smaller and more aggressive than grey squirrels. They can fit through gaps as small as a dime and establish multiple entry points on a single property. Our team identifies and seals all access routes after removal.

Flying Squirrel Removal

Flying squirrels are nocturnal and often go undetected until the colony is well established. They contaminate attic insulation with urine and droppings and can introduce parasites including fleas and mites into the home.

Attic & Roof Exclusion

After squirrel removal, we perform a full exclusion service — sealing all identified entry points with galvanised steel mesh, caulk, and hardware cloth to prevent re-entry. Exclusion is the only permanent solution.

Our Squirrel Removal Process

1

Squirrel Inspection

We perform a full exterior inspection of the roofline, soffits, fascia, roof vents, and attic access points. We identify the squirrel species, locate all entry holes, and assess the extent of damage and nesting activity inside the attic.

2

Humane Trapping & Removal

We set live traps or one-way exclusion doors at active entry points. Trapped squirrels are relocated in accordance with Ontario wildlife regulations. We monitor the property until all activity has ceased.

3

Entry Point Exclusion

All confirmed and potential entry points are sealed with galvanised steel mesh, hardware cloth, or caulk rated for exterior use. This prevents the same — or new — squirrels from re-entering the structure.

4

Attic Cleanup & Prevention Advice

We advise on insulation replacement, droppings cleanup, and tree trimming to eliminate access routes. Ongoing monitoring is available for commercial properties and multi-unit buildings with recurring pressure.
