Squirrel Removal and Control
Professional Wildlife Control for Jefferson & Shelby Counties
Are squirrels turning your attic into a playground? From the historic homes of Mountain Brook to the growing neighborhoods of Hoover and Trussville, squirrels are more than just a nuisance—they are a threat to your home’s safety.
At Peskies Pest Control, we provide effective squirrel control solutions tailored to the Birmingham metropolitan area.
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.
Thorough Inspection: We identify every entry point around your roofline, chimney, and vents.
Trapping & Removal: We use various effective trapping methods.
Custom Exclusion (Repair): We seal your home using high-grade materials like steel mesh and professional sealants that keep squirrels out!
Pro-Tips: How to Prevent Squirrels in Alabama
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.
