f you hear scratching, running, or chewing sounds in your attic, chances are squirrels have moved in. While they may look cute outside, squirrels can cause serious problems once they get into your home. In Munster, IN these critters are one of the most common nuisance animals we deal with.
At Varment Guard, we specialize in professional squirrel trapping, removal, and attic cleanup across Lake County and the surrounding areas. Our licensed experts are trained to handle squirrel problems quickly, safely, and humanely.
Why Are Squirrels in My Attic?
Squirrels are always looking for a safe, warm place to build a nest—especially during colder months or breeding seasons. Your attic is dry, quiet, and high off the ground, making it the perfect spot. Squirrels can squeeze through tiny gaps along your roofline, vents, or chimney to get inside.
Once they’re in, they can cause all kinds of damage. They chew on wood, wires, and insulation, and they leave behind droppings and urine that can smell bad and spread germs.
Signs You Have Squirrels in Your Attic
Here are some common signs that squirrels are living in your attic:
- Loud scratching or scurrying sounds, especially during the day
- Chewed wires, insulation, or wooden beams
- Squirrel droppings or nesting materials
- Holes or damage near vents, soffits, or roof edges
- Sightings of squirrels entering or exiting your roof
If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait. Squirrels won’t leave on their own—and the longer they stay, the more damage they cause.
Our Squirrel Trapping and Removal Process
At Varment Guard, we use a proven process to safely remove squirrels and prevent them from coming back.
1. Inspection
We start with a full inspection of your attic and roof to find out how squirrels got in, where they’re nesting, and what damage they’ve caused.
2. Trapping and Removal
Next, we use humane traps and one-way exclusion devices to remove squirrels from your attic. These tools let squirrels leave but not come back in.
3. Seal Entry Points
Once all squirrels are out, we seal every hole, gap, or crack they used to get inside. This helps keep other animals out in the future.
4. Attic Cleanup
Squirrels leave behind messes that can pose health risks. We clean and disinfect the attic, removing droppings, nesting material, and damaged insulation. We also offer insulation replacement if needed.
