Frequently Asked Questions

How do squirrels get into buildings?

Squirrels typically gain entry into buildings through existing openings or areas where materials are weak or damaged. They can enlarge openings such as vents, chimneys, gaps in roofing, or poorly sealed windows. Squirrels are persistent and can chew through wood, aluminum, and other materials to create entry points. Our services include a thorough inspection to identify and seal these potential entry points effectively. Regular building maintenance and timely intervention are key to preventing such invasions. Additionally, seasonal changes can drive squirrels to seek shelter in warmer or more secure spots, which often leads them into human habitats during colder months.

What are the signs of a squirrel infestation?

Squirrel infestations can manifest in several ways, including noises in the attic or walls, droppings along the pathways they travel, gnawed wires and furniture, and even visible entry points. You might also notice nests constructed in attics or chimneys. Our initial assessment focuses on identifying these signs to determine the most effective removal and prevention strategy for your property. It's important to address these issues quickly to prevent further damage or health risks. Moreover, droppings can pose significant health risks if left untreated, acting as a vector for various diseases.

Are the removal methods safe and humane?

Yes, at Apex of Edisto Pest Management, we prioritize humane treatment and follow all South Carolina wildlife laws in handling and removing squirrels. Our methods ensure the safety of both the animals and our clients. Techniques like one-way exclusion devices allow squirrels to exit safely while preventing their return. We also use humane traps as needed, ensuring minimal stress to the animals. After removal, our focus shifts to prevention, helping to maintain a squirrel-free environment. Furthermore, our team is trained to handle each situation with care, ensuring ethical practices are observed from start to finish, which is crucial for both legal compliance and our ethical standards.

Do I need to prepare my home or business before removal services?

While our team will handle most of the preparation during their inspection and treatment plan development, there are steps you can take to assist the process. Clearing areas around suspected entry points or nests can help us navigate and assess the situation more effectively. Additionally, securing food sources such as pet food or open garbage can deter squirrels from entering or staying in your building. We provide detailed guidance for preparation during your initial consultation. Taking proactive measures, such as trimming back tree branches or removing bird feeders that are close to your home, can further aid in minimizing squirrel attractions.

What should I expect during a follow-up service?

After the initial removal, we offer follow-up services to ensure that squirrels do not return. These services may include sealing up entry points with durable materials, installing squirrel-proofing devices, and providing recommendations for ongoing maintenance. We also perform minor repairs and collaborate with local carpentry services for more extensive work if required. Our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive solution that ensures long-term peace of mind. Additionally, our team will assess any changes to your property that might re-attract squirrels, offering practical advice and solutions customized to your specific situation.
