Getting Rid of Squirrels In Your Crawl Space

With crawl space squirrel infestations, Critter Control experts will implement several methods of control to remove the squirrels. Sometimes it can be difficult to get squirrels out of crawl spaces, especially if parts of the crawl space are inaccessible. If this is the case in your home, then baiting and trapping will be the best method for squirrel removal. It is important to get squirrels out of crawl spaces as soon as possible to avoid any internal damage, which could include chewed wires, torn insulation, and odors from droppings.

Squirrel Dangers and Damage

Cracks and crevices in home foundations allow squirrels into crawl spaces. Once inside, the rodents use the space as a den for food storage. These pests carry fleas as well as the ticks that transmit Lyme disease. Squirrels can also spread illnesses like tularemia.

Additionally, squirrels gnaw to file down their teeth, so infestations often lead to damaged wood supports and frayed wires. Shredded insulation in crawl spaces or attics is also common.

Squirrel Control

Traps can be useful, but proper placement requires skill and patience. Attempting to catch the rodents increases the risk of injury and infection.

When faced with a squirrel in a crawl space, the best option is to contact professionals. The trained experts at Critter Control have the knowledge and tools for the efficient, humane removal of squirrels and other rodents.

We had such a great experience with Critter Control at every interaction. Many months ago, my friend and I called to get some advice on how to handle a bat in our home. The lady we spoke with took the time to give us free, down to earth, real advice. I remembered the experience so when it came time to batproof our attic, they are who we called. The gentleman that came out to do the quote was thorough and patient in explaining everything. The gentlemen that did the bat proofing were quick, efficient and friendly. A few months later we had them back to clean out and insulate our attic. Very friendly crew, extra helpful, and were respectful to our home and good with our German Shepherd. Just a stellar experience all around. Recommended them to my friend, and I'll recommend them to you!

Critter Control was prompt in scheduling the initial visit to assess the problem and detailed in explaining their service. Drew has been prompt in all communications and careful while on the property. It has been reassuring in working with them to resolve the issue.

I have used this company many times for all different things. They always respond as fast as possible. Wasp problem? Bug problem? Call them! The honesty that was shown when things aren’t truly needed shows that if you need pest services, call Critter Control first. You will get honest and thorough services. And you will call them again if you need it. 5 stars.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Critter Control and, especially, with Taylor and his partner. Taylor called the evening before my appointment to confirm and took the time to explain what they would be looking for and what the inspection would involve. He also let me know that I would receive a written estimate when they were finished, which I really appreciated. The next morning, Taylor called before arriving and showed up right within the scheduled window. He introduced himself and his partner, and they were both extremely professional and courteous. They took their time inspecting the yard and ultimately determined that I was dealing with both moles and gophers. Taylor walked me through the treatment options, answered every question I had, and made sure I understood what they were recommending. There was absolutely no pressure, and I really appreciated how straightforward and transparent the entire process was. I had a written estimate in hand within about 10 minutes of them completing the inspection. From the initial phone call to the completion of the inspection, everything was handled professionally and exactly as promised. It’s refreshing to deal with people who communicate well, show up when they say they will, and genuinely take the time to answer your questions. Thank you, Taylor, for making the process so easy. I’m very happy with the experience and would definitely recommend Taylor and Critter Control!

I had a appointment with Moises today to investigate noises that I had been hearing in my wall. I explained what I had been hearing and for how long, and he said that he was going to look for any potential entry points. He found two areas that were compromised and showed me pictures of the areas, and told me what he thought was the culprit and also explained the plan to make sure that there weren't any other rodents in the wall by putting in a one way door and then after 5 days, they would sanitize the area in the wall and seal up the two areas, so that nothing else could get inside. He was very professional and friendly and explained everything to me that they were going to do to alleviate the situation. I would definitely recommend Moises and Critter Control for any wildlife removal services in the future.
