Squirrel Removal in Durham Region, York Region & Toronto
Squirrels chew their way into roofs, soffits and attics, and once one gets in, others often follow. Empire Wildlife Control removes squirrels and seals every gap along your roofline so they stay out.

Signs of Squirrels in Your Home
- Fast scratching or running in the ceiling, mostly in the early morning and late afternoon
- Chewed holes in soffits, fascia, roof vents or corners of the roof
- Nesting material or shredded insulation in the attic
- Squirrels running along the roof or jumping from nearby trees
Why Squirrels Are a Problem
Squirrels have teeth that never stop growing, so they chew constantly. In an attic they can chew wood, insulation and even electrical wiring. They usually have babies in spring and again in late summer, which are the busiest times for squirrel calls.
Our Squirrel Removal Process
- Inspection: we find the main entry and any other weak spots squirrels could use.
- Plan and price before any work starts.
- Removal: we get the squirrels out and check for young.
- Sealing: we close the entry and reinforce weak spots with chew-resistant materials. See animal exclusion & damage repair.
Keep Squirrels Away
- Trim branches at least 2 metres back from your roof
- Keep bird feeders away from the house
- Check vents and soffit corners every spring and fall
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do squirrels keep coming back?
If the entry isn’t sealed with strong material, squirrels chew right through it or find another gap. Sealing the whole roofline properly is what stops repeat problems.
Are squirrels dangerous?
They rarely attack people, but they can cause real damage, including chewed wiring, which is a fire risk.
How long does squirrel removal take?
It depends on how many squirrels there are and whether there are babies. Some jobs are done quickly; others need a follow-up visit before the final sealing.
