About squirrel removal in Gurley
Squirrels chew wiring, soffits, and structural wood. They squeeze through openings as small as 1.5 inches. We remove every animal first, then seal with hardware cloth and metal flashing — never plastic or wood, which squirrels chew right through.

What you should know about squirrel removal
Biology & Behavior
Eastern gray squirrels enter through openings as small as 1.5 inches. They chew structural wood, electrical wiring, and PVC roof boots, creating fire and water-intrusion risks.
When this happens in Gurley
Two birth peaks: late winter (Feb–Mar) and late summer (Aug–Sep). Most attic calls cluster around these windows.
Alabama & Federal Regulations
Gray and fox squirrels are game species in Alabama; nuisance handling is permitted year-round at the property level for damage control.
Disease & Safety Risks
Low direct disease risk; primary concern is structural damage and fire risk from chewed wiring.
Materials We Actually Use
Hardware cloth (1/4" or 1/2"), galvanized metal flashing, stainless screws, replacement wood, fascia and soffit repairs. Never plastic, foam-only, or untreated wood.
