Squirrels are among Calgary’s most common and resourceful urban wildlife challenges, capable of causing surprisingly significant damage to homes and businesses when they gain access to attics, crawl spaces, and wall cavities. At Preventive Pest Control, we provide safe, humane, and effective squirrel removal and exclusion services specifically designed to remove these animals from your Calgary property with care and professionalism while preventing them from returning.
Our experienced Calgary wildlife control team follows a comprehensive and humane pest management approach that begins with a thorough property inspection to identify all active entry points, nesting sites, and the full extent of any damage caused by squirrel activity. Using safe and proven removal methods that comply fully with local Calgary and Alberta wildlife regulations, we remove all squirrels from your property without causing unnecessary harm or distress to the animals.
Once removal is complete, our exclusion specialists professionally seal every identified entry point using durable, professional grade materials that squirrels cannot chew through or bypass, the most critical step in ensuring these persistent animals cannot find their way back into your Calgary property after removal. Contact Preventive Pest Control today to schedule your free squirrel inspection and take the first step toward a squirrel-free Calgary property.
Because squirrels are such a familiar and common sight in Calgary neighbourhoods, many homeowners dismiss their presence without realizing these animals have already found a way into their roof or attic space. Once inside a structure, squirrels are capable of causing serious and costly damage that goes far beyond a simple nuisance. Catching the warning signs early can save Calgary homeowners thousands of dollars in repairs and prevent dangerous situations such as electrical fires caused by chewed wiring.
Daytime Scratching and Movement Sounds: Unlike rodents that are primarily active at night, squirrels are daytime creatures. If you are hearing scratching, scurrying, or the distinct sound of rolling objects coming from your attic or wall cavities during the morning and early afternoon hours, squirrels are a very likely cause that deserves immediate professional attention.
Chewed Entry Points Around Your Roofline: Inspect your fascia boards, soffits, and roof vents for small, gnawed openings that may indicate a squirrel entry point. Squirrel damage is typically recognizable by the fresh, raw appearance of the chewed wood surrounding the opening, distinguishing it from weathering or other types of wear.
Electrical Issues and Flickering Lights: Experiencing unexplained flickering lights, dead outlets, or intermittent electrical problems in your Calgary home can be a sign that squirrels have been chewing through attic wiring and stripping insulation from electrical cables, a serious fire hazard that requires immediate professional assessment and intervention.
Nesting Material in Your Attic: Discovering shredded insulation, leaves, twigs, paper, and other gathered materials in your attic is a strong indicator that a squirrel, most likely a female preparing to raise a litter, has established a nest inside your Calgary home and requires prompt and humane professional removal.

At Preventive Pest Control, our Calgary squirrel removal process is thorough, humane, and built around delivering a permanent solution rather than a temporary fix. We begin with a detailed property inspection to identify all entry points and nesting sites, followed by safe and humane removal of all squirrels present. Once removal is complete, we professionally seal every entry point with durable materials and provide ongoing prevention recommendations to ensure squirrels cannot return to your Calgary property.
Every squirrel removal service begins with a thorough and detailed assessment of your Calgary property. Our experienced technicians examine your roofline, soffits, fascia boards, and vents to identify all active entry points, vulnerable weak spots, and the full extent of squirrel activity, giving us the complete picture needed to develop the most effective removal and exclusion strategy for your specific situation.
We use one-way exclusion doors and carefully placed humane traps to safely and effectively evict squirrels from your Calgary attic and property without causing unnecessary harm or distress to the animals. Every removal method we employ is fully compliant with local Calgary and Alberta wildlife handling regulations.
Once all squirrels have been successfully removed from your Calgary property, our exclusion specialists get to work permanently sealing every identified entry point using heavy duty, professional grade materials that squirrels are unable to chew through or bypass. This critical final step is what transforms a temporary removal into a genuinely lasting solution that keeps squirrels out of your Calgary home for good.
Attempting to remove squirrels from your Calgary home without professional assistance carries significant risks that most homeowners underestimate. Squirrels can become aggressive when cornered or protecting their young, posing a real bite risk. Improper removal often leaves young squirrels trapped inside walls or attics, resulting in serious odor and health concerns. Inadequate exclusion allows squirrels to re-enter almost immediately. Preventive Pest Control’s professional Calgary squirrel removal eliminates these risks completely, delivering safe, humane, and permanently effective results every time.
Choosing Preventive Pest Control for squirrel removal and control in Calgary means partnering with an experienced, locally trusted wildlife management team that delivers results you can count on. Here is why Calgary homeowners consistently choose us:
While Preventive Pest Control handles the removal and exclusion side of your squirrel problem, making a few practical adjustments to your property environment can significantly reduce the likelihood of squirrels targeting your Calgary roofline in the first place:
Trim Back Overhanging Tree Branches: Squirrels are remarkably agile jumpers that use overhanging tree branches as direct access routes onto Calgary rooftops. Keep all tree limbs trimmed back a minimum of six to eight feet from your roofline to eliminate these convenient launching points and make your home considerably harder for squirrels to reach.
Relocate Bird Feeders: Bird feeders positioned close to your Calgary home are a reliable squirrel attractant that draws these animals directly to your property boundary. Moving feeders as far from your exterior walls as possible reduces the likelihood of squirrels being tempted to explore upward toward your roofline while foraging for spilled seed.
Install Quality Gutter Guards: Gutters provide squirrels with an easy and sheltered travel route along your roofline, allowing them to locate and exploit gaps in fascia boards and soffits with ease. Installing durable gutter guards removes this convenient pathway and adds an additional layer of protection against squirrel entry to your Calgary home.
Conduct Regular Roof Inspections: Make a habit of visually inspecting your roof vents, eaves, and soffits on a regular basis, particularly as Calgary temperatures begin to drop in the fall and squirrels become increasingly motivated to seek warm shelter indoors. Catching fresh chew marks or small openings early allows for prompt sealing before squirrels have the chance to gain full access.
Our squirrel removal process begins with a meticulous inspection of your Calgary property to locate all active entry points, nesting areas, and vulnerable spots along your roofline. From there, we implement safe and humane removal techniques including one-way exclusion doors and non-lethal traps, followed by professional grade sealing of every identified entry point to prevent re-entry. We also provide personalized habitat modification advice to reduce the conditions making your property attractive to squirrels in the first place, delivering a comprehensive and lasting solution backed by our 100% Service Satisfaction Guarantee.
Insurance coverage for wildlife damage varies considerably depending on your individual policy and provider. Some Calgary homeowner’s insurance policies include coverage for squirrel related damage while others do not, making it essential to review your policy details or speak directly with your insurance provider to understand exactly what is and is not covered. Regardless of your coverage situation, investing in professional squirrel removal and exclusion from Preventive Pest Control is always a sound and proactive decision. Regular inspections and prevention strategies help Calgary homeowners avoid costly structural damage and electrical hazards that insurance may not fully cover, making a robust pest management plan a worthwhile investment for any property owner.
Squirrels are drawn to Calgary properties for the same fundamental reasons as most wildlife pests — warmth, shelter, food, and safe nesting opportunities. As outdoor temperatures drop through the fall and winter months, squirrels become increasingly motivated to find their way into the warm, sheltered spaces that Calgary attics and wall cavities provide. Easily accessible food sources such as bird feeders, unsecured garbage, and fallen fruit from trees draw squirrels directly to your property boundary, where overhanging branches and unsealed entry points give them convenient access upward. Addressing these attractants and vulnerabilities is a critical part of the comprehensive squirrel management strategy our Calgary team develops for every property we service.
At Preventive Pest Control, we understand that a squirrel infestation is an urgent situation that Calgary homeowners cannot afford to leave unaddressed. We prioritize fast response times and aim to have a technician at your Calgary property within one business day of your initial contact. From there, our team works efficiently and thoroughly to remove all squirrels, seal every entry point, and implement prevention measures as quickly as possible, minimizing damage, disruption, and stress for you and your household while delivering the high quality and lasting results you deserve.
