Squirrel Control

Squirrel Control in Fort Worth

Maintaining Structural Integrity from Subsurface and Attic Pests

Fort Worth residents often find their peace disturbed by the persistent scratching and scurrying sounds of squirrels in the early morning hours. These agile climbers take advantage of the many oak trees in the area to access rooflines, where they frequently chew through fascia boards and vents. Addressing these intrusions is vital to prevent electrical fire hazards and the destruction of expensive attic insulation.

At 911 Wildlife, we understand the frustration of dealing with persistent wildlife. Since 2006, our team has specialized in providing humane and effective solutions for homeowners throughout the greater DFW area. We are owned and operated by wildlife rehabilitators who prioritize the safety of your family and the welfare of the animals, ensuring your property is managed with professional care.

Identifying the Signs of Squirrel Intrusions

When wildlife enters a structure, the damage often begins well before it is visible from the ground. In Fort Worth, the most common indicator of a squirrel problem is auditory; homeowners report hearing rhythmic scampering or gnawing sounds coming from above the ceiling or inside wall voids. Because these animals are active during daylight, these noises are typically most pronounced at dawn when they head out to forage.

Scratching and scurrying sounds in the attic or walls during the day.
Visible chew marks on wooden trim, soffits, or plastic vent covers.
Shredded insulation or piles of leaves and twigs in the attic space.
Small, barrel-shaped droppings are found near entry points or on attic floors.
Water stains on ceilings are caused by nests blocking gutters or chewed roofing materials.

Beyond the noise, the physical impact on a home can be significant. Squirrels have teeth that never stop growing, driving them to chew on hard materials like wooden beams and electrical wiring. This behavior is not just a nuisance but a serious safety risk that can lead to power outages or fires. Recognizing these signs early allows for a strategic intervention that protects your home's infrastructure.

Our Approach to Squirrel Exclusion

At 911 Wildlife, we reject the archaic practice of trapping and relocating animals, which often leads to orphaned young and recurring infestations. Instead, we utilize a modern exclusion process designed to get the animals out and keep them out for good. We serve the Fort Worth area with a methodology that addresses the root cause of the intrusion rather than just the symptoms.

Comprehensive inspections to locate every active and potential entry point along the roofline.
Installation of professional-grade one-way doors that allow squirrels to exit safely.
Sealing of all secondary gaps with durable materials that resist gnawing and weathering.
Detailed assessment of attic spaces for signs of damaged wires or contaminated insulation.
A final walkthrough to ensure the exclusion is complete and the property is secure.

Our rehabilitator-led team at 911 Wildlife ensures that every step of the process aligns with high animal welfare standards. By focusing on permanent exclusion, we provide a long-term fix that traditional trapping simply cannot match. We take pride in our ability to solve complex wildlife issues while maintaining the safety and comfort of your Fort Worth home.

The Importance of Professional Service

Professional wildlife management is essential for ensuring that all entry points are properly identified and secured. Squirrels are remarkably persistent and can squeeze through openings as small as a golf ball. A professional service brings the necessary equipment and expertise to reach high rooflines and cramped attic spaces where DIY attempts often fail or result in injury.

Choosing a professional ensures that the exclusion process is handled humanely and effectively. Without specialized knowledge, homeowners might accidentally trap animals inside walls, leading to further damage and unpleasant odors. Experts understand the biology and behavior of local species, allowing them to implement solutions that prevent the cycle of infestation from continuing year after year.

A knowledgeable partner provides peace of mind by using high-quality materials and proven techniques. Professional services prioritize the structural integrity of your home, addressing both the current residents and the vulnerabilities that invited them in. This comprehensive approach is the only way to guarantee a wildlife-free environment for your family and your property over the long term.

How can I get rid of the birds roosting on my property?

Outdoor and roof bird removal can be very difficult. Installing bird spikes is dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing, and installing them improperly can make them ineffective. You’re better off trusting the experts here at 911 Wildlife for your wildlife removal needs.
Why are birds attracted to my property?

Birds will flock to your property for a number of reasons. For instance, if you’ve got vegetables or fruit trees in your yard, birds will welcome the chance at an easy meal. If you serve food on your restaurant’s outdoor patio, they’ll come there too. Just about anything can attract them.
Is it bad to have birds on my Houston or Dallas property?

Preventing Future Wildlife Intrusions

A proactive strategy is the best way to maintain a squirrel-free home in the North Texas climate. Start by managing the exterior of your property; trimming tree branches so they are at least six to eight feet away from your roofline removes the "bridge" squirrels use to access your shingles. Additionally, consider the attractants in your yard. Bird feeders and fallen acorns are significant draws for local rodents, so keeping these food sources away from the foundation of your home can reduce the likelihood of them seeking shelter inside your attic or walls.

Regularly inspecting your home’s exterior for the first sign of wear is also critical. Look for gaps where dormers meet the roofline or loose soffit vents, as these are the most common entry points. If you notice small holes or gnaw marks, addressing them immediately with professional-grade materials can prevent a full-blown infestation. Combining these habitat modifications with our professional exclusion services creates a multi-layered defense that protects your home throughout every season. By staying vigilant and maintaining a wildlife-aware landscape, you can enjoy the beauty of Fort Worth's native species from a distance while keeping your interior living spaces secure and undisturbed.

FAQs About Squirrel Control

Will the Squirrels Be Harmed When You Remove Them?

Our process is designed so squirrels are not harmed as they leave your home. We use one-way doors that allow them to exit attic or wall spaces on their own and then prevent them from getting back inside. Because we do not use traps or poisons, we avoid many of the injuries and stresses that can come with traditional control methods. Our techniques follow guidelines endorsed by leading animal welfare organizations, which further supports the safety and welfare of the animals. We treat each situation with care so you can feel good about how the problem is resolved.

How Long Does Your Squirrel Removal Process Usually Take?

The full process typically involves at least two stages, the initial inspection and setup of one-way doors, followed by a period for squirrels to exit and a final visit for sealing. The time between visits can vary based on factors such as how many squirrels are present, where they are living in the structure, and whether young are involved. In many cases, animals leave within several days once the devices are in place. Our team explains the expected timeline for your specific situation after we inspect the property. Throughout the process, we keep you informed so you know what is happening at each step.

What Does Your 10-Year Guarantee Cover?

Our 10-year guarantee applies to the exclusion work we complete to close active and potential entry points. If materials we installed fail due to workmanship during that period, we address those issues in line with our guarantee. The guarantee is focused on the repairs and wildlife-proofing we provide, rather than on events that are outside our control such as new construction changes or damage from storms. We explain exactly which areas and repairs are covered when we review your proposal. This long-term guarantee reflects our commitment to thorough, durable work.

Can I Just Block the Holes Myself To Keep Squirrels Out?

Sealing gaps without a full understanding of where squirrels are living and how they move can create problems for both you and the animals. If squirrels are still inside when a hole is blocked, they may become trapped and chew in search of a new way out, which can cause additional damage in other areas. Young squirrels may also be separated from their mother if exits are closed too soon. Our process begins with careful inspection, then uses one-way doors so animals can exit safely before we seal entry points. This approach helps avoid unintended harm and reduces the chance of recurring issues.

Do You Offer Squirrel Control For Commercial Buildings Too?

Yes, we work with a range of commercial properties in and around Fort Worth in addition to homes. Offices, small retail spaces, and other buildings with attics or ceiling voids can provide quiet shelter for squirrels just like houses do. Our technicians are experienced in planning access and scheduling in a way that respects your operating hours and staff needs. We use the same humane methods and long-term exclusion strategies for commercial sites that we use for residences. During our inspection, we discuss any special considerations for your building so that our plan fits your day to day operations.
