Squirrel Removal NYC
Eastern gray squirrels frequently invade NYC attics, soffits, and wall voids, chewing through wiring, insulation, and wood. They pose fire hazards from gnawed electrical wires and create noise disturbances. Professional removal combines one-way exclusion doors, humane trapping, and thorough entry point sealing to prevent return.

Squirrel Removal — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions our licensed exterminators receive about squirrel removal in New York City, including costs, treatment timelines, preparation steps, and what results to expect.
How much does squirrel removal cost?
Squirrel removal in NYC costs $250-$600 for trapping and removal. One-way exclusion door installation costs $200-$400. Complete exclusion and entry point sealing adds $500-$1,500 depending on the property.
How do I know if squirrels are in my attic?
Signs include scratching and scurrying sounds during daytime (squirrels are diurnal, unlike rats), gnaw marks on wood and wires, droppings larger than rat droppings, and visible entry points along the roofline.
Can squirrels cause fires?
Yes. Squirrels frequently chew on electrical wiring in attics and walls, which is a leading cause of residential fires. If you suspect squirrels in your attic, have the wiring inspected as part of the removal process.
What's a one-way exclusion door?
A one-way door allows squirrels to exit your attic but prevents re-entry. It's the most humane removal method and avoids trapping animals inside. Once all squirrels have exited (usually 3-5 days), we seal the entry point permanently.
When are squirrels most likely to enter attics?
Squirrels seek attic access primarily in fall (preparing for winter) and late winter/early spring (breeding season). Pregnant females are especially determined to find warm, safe nesting sites.
