Squirrel Removal in Madison, AL — New-Construction Specialists
Madison's housing stock is mostly post-1995, and the construction era left a signature gap: gable vents and gable-to-roof transitions that squirrels defeat in the first or second year. We seal them right the second time.

About squirrel removal in Madison
Madison squirrel calls cluster in homes 5–25 years old. The classic Madison entry is the gable vent — installed at construction with thin plastic louvers and unscreened openings — followed by gable-roof transitions where the framing joins the rake. We remove the animals first (kits arrive twice a year, February and August), then reinforce with heavy-gauge hardware cloth and metal trim that squirrels cannot chew. Subdivisions across Madison from Town Madison to Old Madison Pike see the same pattern.
Local context for Madison
Most Madison squirrel jobs we run are gable-vent entries on 2000s-era construction. Look for chewed plastic louver edges and small piles of debris on the ground below — those are the giveaway signs we look for during the initial inspection.

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 Madison
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.
