Why Squirrels are a Problem in Central Alabama

In Alabama, the Eastern Gray Squirrel is active year-round, but they become particularly aggressive in seeking shelter during their two breeding seasons: February/March and July/August.

  • Fire Hazards: Squirrels are rodents; they must chew to keep their teeth sharp. They frequently gnaw on electrical wiring, which is a potential cause of house fires in Alabama.

  • Property Damage: They easily chew through fascia boards, vinyl siding, and roof vents to enter your attic.

  • Health Risks: Once inside, they leave behind urine and droppings that can lead to odors and potential respiratory issues.

Our Birmingham Squirrel Control Process

We don’t just “trap and go.” We provide a comprehensive solution to ensure squirrels stay out for good.

  1. Thorough Inspection: We identify every entry point around your roofline, chimney, and vents.

  2. Trapping & Removal: We use various effective trapping methods.

  3. Custom Exclusion (Repair): We seal your home using high-grade materials like steel mesh and professional sealants that keep squirrels out!

  • Trim the “Squirrel Highway”: Keep tree limbs at least 6 to 8 feet away from your roofline.

  • Secure Your Bird Feeders: Use squirrel-proof baffles or move feeders away from the house.

  • Repair Openings: Ensure damaged or rotten wood should be repaired before it becomes a squirrel entry point.
