The Most Effective Way to Remove Squirrels
No More Squirrel Troubles:
The Best Way to Keep Them Away
If you’re trying to get rid of squirrels in your attic or other tight spaces, shooting or poisoning them is a big no-no. Luckily, there’s a humane and effective method called a one-way door that can help you out. Let’s break down how it works and how you can use it to solve your squirrel situation.
So, picture this: you’ve got squirrels making themselves cozy in your attic, and you need them out without causing harm. That’s where the one-way door comes in. It’s a simple concept—the door lets the squirrels leave but doesn’t allow them back in. Pretty smart, right?
Now, to make this work, you’ll need to find the entry and exit points the squirrels are using. Once you’ve located those spots, you can install the one-way door. The squirrels will be able to leave to find food and water, but they won’t be able to return to their comfy spot in your attic. It’s like a one-way vacation for them!
What is a One-Way Squirrel Door?
A one-way squirrel door is a device used for humane squirrel removal from homes or buildings. It is a one-way exit door that allows squirrels to leave the structure but prevents them from re-entering. Once the squirrels have exited through the door, it can be securely closed to prevent them from coming back inside. This helps to safely and effectively remove squirrels without harming them.
Why One-Way Doors Work Best for Squirrel Removal
Humane Method
Effective
Nature takes its course with this method. Squirrels will eventually venture out in search of food and water, only to find they can’t return. This natural process ensures they vacate your space without any forceful intervention.
Long-Term Solution
Proper Installation Achieves the Best Squirrel Control
Correct Sizing and Tidy Cut for Caps
(on top of your vent and window)
We take a hands-on approach by using precision-cut hardware cloth to cover the entry points that squirrels have been using to invade your space. This tailored fit is crucial to keeping them out and preventing any future problems.
Each installation is designed to be discreet and effective, ensuring that your home remains secure and free from unwanted guests. Our goal is to provide a solution that not only works but also blends in seamlessly with your property, giving you peace of mind.
Standard Screws
Our commitment to long-lasting solutions for squirrel removal includes using standard screws designed for roof shingles. These screws are essential for keeping everything secure and stable over time. These screws are top quality and can handle different weather conditions, ensuring that our protective measures stay put for a long time. From the hardware cloth to the one-way doors, we make sure everything is firmly attached with these reliable screws for durability.
Sealing and Waterproofing
When we work on your home, we take extra care to seal and waterproof all the important spots, like vents, entry points, and screws. This stops any leaks and keeps your place dry and safe from water damage. We use top-quality materials that blend right in with a discreet black colour to blend in seamlessly. Most importantly, our methods ensure your home stays secure without causing any damage.
Precision Fitting
When we set up each cap, we make sure it fits just right—straight, centred, and level. This involves using four screws for each vent so that the cap stays put and looks neat. Our careful installation not only helps keep squirrels out but also ensures your house keeps its good looks. The caps blend in smoothly with your home, making them less noticeable.

Additional Tips for Homeowners
Timing
Getting rid of squirrels around your property requires a precise plan. These animals are most active during the day, so it’s best to tackle the removal process when they’re out and about. Doing so not only increases your chances of success but also makes it easier to spot where they’re getting in and track their movements. Plus, working during daylight hours gives you better visibility, which is always a bonus.
Preventative Measures
To keep these intruders at bay in the future, there are a few preventive measures you can take. One handy trick is to trim back any tree branches that hang close to your roof. Squirrels love using these as their own personal highways into your home, so snipping them away removes their easy access points. Also, it’s a good idea to regularly check for new entryways, like gaps or holes in your home’s exterior. Seal those up, and you’ll make it much harder for squirrels to sneak in undetected.
Professional Help
If you’re not quite sure how to handle a squirrel situation or if you’re facing a particularly stubborn bunch, consider calling in a wildlife removal pro. These folks have the skills, experience, and gear needed to safely and effectively get squirrels off your property. It’s a smart move, especially if you want to ensure a squirrel-free zone around your home.
