Squirrel Control & Removal Surrey, BC

Professional Squirrel Removal & Exclusion Services in Surrey

Hearing scratching, running, or chewing sounds in your attic or walls? Squirrels are a common nuisance in Surrey, BC, especially during colder months when they seek warm shelter inside homes.

At Ideal Pest Control, we specialize in humane squirrel control through exclusion methods — meaning we remove squirrels safely by allowing them to exit and preventing them from re-entering. We do not rely on live trapping for most jobs. Instead, we focus on long-term solutions that protect your home.

Why Squirrels Are a Serious Problem

While squirrels may seem harmless outdoors, once inside your attic or walls they can:

Chew electrical wiring (fire hazard)
Damage insulation and wood structures
Create nesting areas that cause odors and contamination
Open new entry holes by gnawing soffits and vents
Re-enter season after season if not properly excluded

Squirrels are persistent and can squeeze through surprisingly small gaps along rooflines, vents, and soffits.

Our Squirrel Removal Process (Exclusion Method)

🧐 1. Full Exterior Inspection

We inspect your roofline, attic vents, soffits, fascia boards, and foundation to locate active entry points and potential vulnerabilities.

🚪 2. One-Way Door Installation

When squirrels are actively inside, we install a one-way exclusion door over the main entry point. This allows squirrels to exit safely but prevents them from getting back in.

🔒 3. Sealing & Reinforcement

Once activity has stopped, we permanently seal entry points using durable materials such as:

Heavy-gauge screening
Steel mesh
Reinforced vent covers
Chicken wire barriers
Professional-grade sealants

Our goal is long-term prevention — not temporary fixes.

Why Exclusion Works Best

Live trapping often relocates the problem temporarily and can create new issues if entry points remain open.

Exclusion focuses on prevention. By sealing and reinforcing vulnerable areas, we stop repeat infestations and protect your property moving forward.

Common Signs of Squirrel Activity
