Our Safe & Effective Squirrel Removal Process in St. Louis

We understand that every property and squirrel situation is different. A home on The Hill faces different pressures than a business in Clayton, and our process is built to identify and solve your specific challenge. Our highly trained technicians use proven, safe strategies for squirrel removal.

Our approach is thorough and prioritizes clear communication, so you are comfortable and confident in our service from start to finish. We focus on humane methods that are effective for you and safe for the animals. Our process typically follows these steps:

  • Initial Consultation: We start by listening to your concerns. We gather details about what you are seeing and hearing, the type of property you have, and any other information that helps us understand the squirrel control issue.
  • Detailed Inspection: One of our certified technicians will conduct a full inspection of your property. We check attics, rooflines, soffits, garages, and other likely areas for signs of squirrel activity and, just as importantly, their entry points.
  • A Clear Removal Plan: After the inspection, we discuss our findings with you. We will present clear options for squirrel removal that comply with all local and state wildlife laws, explaining what we recommend for your property’s specific needs.
  • Exclusion and Prevention: We do not just remove the squirrels; we help you keep them out. We will provide recommendations for securing entry points to help prevent future wildlife issues, based on our long experience in the St. Louis area.

This focus on your property’s unique features allows us to address the current squirrel problem and reduce the risk of future intrusions. We provide detailed updates and honest answers, ensuring you understand exactly what we are doing and why.

We know squirrel removal often requires flexibility and speed. That’s why we’re prepared to adjust our approach when conditions on your property or in your neighborhood change. With every job, our goal is to leave you feeling reassured, protected, and in control of your property once again.

Recognizing the Signs: Do You Need Squirrel Removal?

It often starts with that sound. A sudden scratching, skittering, or even a rolling noise coming from right above your head in the attic. You might also hear these noises coming from inside your walls or chimney, especially in the morning or early evening. These sounds are the most common sign that you have a visitor and may need professional squirrel removal.

Go outside and take a look at your roofline. Squirrels are persistent and will chew right through wood, siding, and even aluminum to get in. You might notice holes in your soffits or fascia, damage to roof vents, or gaps around the chimney. This is more than just cosmetic damage; it is a clear entry point for a growing wildlife problem.

Once inside, the real issues begin. We know the biggest concern is often the damage you cannot see. Squirrels will shred insulation to build nests and chew on electrical wiring, which creates a serious fire hazard. Their droppings and urine can also saturate insulation and ceiling materials, leading to odors and stains.

We understand how unsettling it is to feel like your St. Louis home has been invaded. If any of these signs sound familiar, please do not ignore them. The problem rarely goes away on its own. Give our team at Holpers Pest & Animal Solutions a call so we can investigate the issue and help you get your home back.

Take back your home. For superior service and lasting solutions, call (314) 887-7102 or request your inspection online today.


Frequently Asked Questions


How do I know if I have a squirrel problem in my home?

You may notice noises in your attic or walls, droppings, chew marks on wood or wires, or visible squirrel activity around your roofline. A professional inspection helps confirm the presence and extent of the issue.

Are squirrels dangerous to property or health?

Squirrels often chew through wiring and insulation, increasing fire risks and repair costs. Their nesting can create messes and contribute to allergens, and in rare cases, they carry parasites that may pose health risks.

What time of year are squirrel problems most common in St. Louis?

Squirrels locally typically seek shelter indoors during cooler months but may invade properties anytime. Activity often increases during seasonal changes, especially in the fall and early spring.

Is it legal to remove squirrels in St. Louis myself?

Missouri law allows property owners to address nuisance wildlife themselves, but restrictions on trapping and dispatching wildlife exist in many municipalities. Professional removal ensures compliance with state and local guidelines.

How soon can I expect results after professional squirrel removal?

Results vary depending on the scope of the infestation and property layout. Timely intervention and follow-up actions typically resolve the issue and help prevent recurrences.
