Squirrel Removal & Control in Indiana

Gray squirrels and fox squirrels are the most common species causing nuisance issues in Indiana homes and buildings. Squirrels frequently enter attics through gaps in rooflines, soffits, and gable vents, especially in fall when they seek warm denning sites. Once inside, they chew on wiring, wood, and insulation, which can create fire hazards and structural damage. Squirrels are active year-round and breed twice annually (January–February and June–July), so populations can grow quickly if entry points are not sealed. Flying squirrels are also common in Indiana and are nocturnal, often going undetected until a colony is established. Licensed operators can trap and remove squirrels and seal all entry points to prevent return.

Common Squirrel Issues

  • Chewing through electrical wiring, creating fire hazards
  • Damaging attic insulation and wooden structural members
  • Nesting in soffits, wall voids, and attic spaces
  • Raiding bird feeders and gardens

Prevention Tips

  • Trim tree branches at least 8–10 feet from rooflines
  • Cover attic vents with heavy-gauge wire mesh
  • Remove bird feeders or use squirrel-proof designs
  • Seal gaps in fascia, soffits, and rooflines before fall
