We recently completed a squirrel removal project in Toronto, not far from Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue, where a client contacted us after experiencing ongoing wildlife activity inside their home. The homeowner reported hearing loud scratching and scurrying noises coming from the ceiling, especially early in the morning and late in the evening. These are classic signs of squirrels nesting inside an attic space.
Our technician arrived for a full inspection of the property and carefully examined the roof, soffits, and other potential entry points. It didn’t take long to discover how the squirrels had gained access — there was a hole in the roof that provided them with a direct path into the attic. Once the entry point was confirmed, our team explained the process to the client and got to work.
The first step was installing a one-way door over the main entry hole. This humane method ensures that squirrels can leave the attic safely but are unable to get back inside. Within a couple of days, we observed that the squirrel had exited through the one-way door, and no further noises were heard inside the home.
After confirming that the animals were gone, our technician returned to permanently secure the property. We installed durable screening over the original hole as well as another vulnerable gap on the roof. This prevents future attempts by squirrels or other wildlife from re-entering the attic.
The job was completed successfully, and the homeowner was extremely relieved to have the problem solved quickly and professionally. With the one-way door removal method and high-quality screening in place, their home is now fully protected against future squirrel intrusions.
