A squirrel in your attic or walls?
We get him out safely, then block the entrance for good.
Squirrels look for a quiet, dry place that is sheltered from the cold —the attic is perfect for them, especially in the fall and spring.
Here's what might attract them:
A displaced tile, a hole under the roof, a poorly secured ventilation grille.
An accessible, insulated attic, but rarely visited.
Trees that touch or extend beyond the roof.
Food nearby: compost, bird feeders, nuts on the ground, etc.
Even an opening of 4 to 5 cm is enough for a squirrel to get in.
This is a common sign of squirrels.
They are active during the day, and can often be heard early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
The problem isn't just the noise:
They can chew through wires, wood, and pipes, which can cause breakdowns or fires.
They leave behind feces and urine, attracting other pests.
If they build their nest, they may return every season.
Here are our simple recommendations:
Safely remove the squirrel without trapping it inside.
Immediately seal the opening through which it entered (grate, cement, stainless steel mesh).
Cut off any branches that are touching the roof.
Check the ventilation grilles and the corners of the roof.
Do not leave food out.
Squirrels are agile, fast, and can become aggressive if cornered. The most important thing is to block the entrance as soon as it leaves, otherwise it will come back.
Here is our method:
We use humane techniques to bring it out naturally.
If necessary, install a one-way valve (it can go out, but cannot come back in).
Then, we securely close the access for good.
We inspect the attic and other openings that pose a risk.
And we give you a clear prevention plan.

Yes, this can cause several problems.
Squirrels can chew through electrical wires, damage insulation, and leave droppings that attract other pests. This also increases the risk of fire or contamination.
This is not recommended.
Squirrels are fast, wary, and can become aggressive if they feel trapped. And if you let it out without securing the entrance, it will come back... or another one will take its place.
No.
At Extermineo, we use humane and cruelty-free methods. Our goal is to remove the animal without harming it, then block the entrance to prevent it from returning.
Often through a small opening in the roof, a poorly secured ventilation grille, or a displaced tile.
An opening of 4 cm is enough for a squirrel to enter. They can climb walls, jump from trees, and find the smallest of passages.
The price depends on the situation: accessibility of the entrance, number of entrances to secure, height, etc.

This is unlikely if the entrance has been properly sealed.
But if it does happen, we offer follow-up and warranty options depending on the type of intervention. We remain available even after our visit.
