When squirrels take up residence in or around your home, their antics might be entertaining, until they start causing damage. At Minnesota Wild Animal Management, we help Minneapolis homeowners address squirrel problems with friendly, professional service that focuses on humane removal, thorough cleanup, and long-term prevention.
Squirrels often enter attics, chimneys, crawlspaces or wall cavities to nest or seek shelter. Once inside, they can gnaw through insulation, wood, wires, pipes, and vents—creating fire hazards and structural damage. Their droppings and nesting debris pose health risks, including bacteria and parasites that can affect indoor air quality. The scratching, scurrying, and chewing noises in your walls or ceiling often indicate squirrel activity—especially at dawn or dusk.
Humane Removal and Squirrel Control Services
At Minnesota Wild Animal Management our squirrel control process covers every step from start to finish.
1. We begin with a detailed inspection to identify entry points, nesting areas, and signs of activity.
2. Using humane trapping methods, we remove squirrels in compliance with local wildlife regulations.
3. Once the animals are out, we seal entry points using sturdy materials like wire mesh or metal flashing.
4. Our team cleans and sanitizes any affected areas to remove droppings, nesting debris, odors, and potential hazards.
5. We repair minor damage and provide advice on how to avoid future problems such as trimming branches and securing food waste.
Why Squirrel Prevention Is Essential
Preventing squirrel access is the most effective way to avoid recurring infestations. Our prevention team helps seal potential entry points, reinforcing vulnerable areas of your home so squirrels and other wildlife cannot return. Every prevention service includes a two year warranty giving Minneapolis residents confidence in long term protection.
Cleanup and Sanitation After Infestation
Once squirrels depart, they often leave behind contamination and odors that linger long after the visible damage is fixed. In south Minneapolis and beyond, we provide professional cleanup services that include safe removal of droppings and nesting materials, full sanitization, odor neutralization, and air purification. Our goal is to restore a clean, safe environment in your home. We also repair any lingering structural or insulation damage.
