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 is billed at $249/hour flat — the same fully inclusive rate we charge for every pest service. The $249/hour covers all labor, EPA-registered products, treatment methods, entry-point sealing, written plan, and the free re-treatment visit if pests come back. There are no per-room fees, no chemical surcharges, no trip fees, and no contract. You pay only on completion of the work — nothing upfront, no deposit, no card on file. Billed in 15-minute increments after the first hour. It's the only fully inclusive hourly exterminator pricing model in NYC, and it almost always costs less than the inflated flat-rate quotes built around a worst-case version of your problem.
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.
