We are experts in squirrel control and are not your typical Houston, Texas rodent removal company. We will not use poison, as it is inhumane and simply doesn't work. Instead, our squirrel removal process makes use of exclusion barriers and live cage traps to safely relocate the animals. If a mother squirrel and her young are nesting in your attic, we make sure to first remove the nest by hand before trapping the mother squirrel. We completely solve your squirrel problem by taking these steps:

• Inspect the entire property, ground to roof, and the attic
• Seal all entry areas, no matter how small, with steel squirrels can't chew through
• Set several humane live traps in your house and attic
• Remove all squirrels as they are caught and monitor for activity
• Once there is no more activity and no more squirrels caught, we're done
• When necessary, we remove feces, replace insulation, and repair chewed materials

Houston squirrel removal tip of the month: What diseases do squirrels carry? - Squirrels are not as well known as rats for carrying disease, but that doesn't mean they aren't a danger to humans. While the most common health risks related to these animals come from contact with feces and urine, squirrels themselves can carry rabies, though the risk is considered very low. Disease of concern related to squirrel waste include leptospirosis, tularemia, and hantavirus, all dangerous airborne issues that can cause serious illness in people. Exposure usually happens when cleaning up an enclosed space after a squirrel infestation. Squirrels can also carry ticks and fleas, and this means there is the risk of contracting Lyme disease or plague. Again, disease transmission form squirrels in the United States is fairly low, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be wary.
