Squirrel Removal in Austin & Central Texas

---

Overview

Squirrels may be cute in the park, but when they move into your attic, soffits, or walls, they quickly become destructive pests. In Central Texas, the most common offenders are Eastern gray squirrels and fox squirrels, both of which thrive in urban and suburban environments like Austin, Bee Cave, Marble Falls, and the Highland Lakes region.

At The Wildlife Management Company, we specialize in professional, humane squirrel removal and exclusion services to keep your home safe, secure, and squirrel-free.

Biology & Behavior

Squirrels are agile, highly adaptable rodents with strong climbing and gnawing abilities. Their biology and habits make them particularly well-suited for invading homes and structures.

• Species in Central Texas: Eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), fox squirrel (Sciurus niger)
• Lifespan: 6–12 years in the wild
• Breeding Seasons: Late winter and mid-summer, with 2–4 young per litter
• Diet: Nuts, seeds, fruits, fungi, bird eggs, and even attic insulation or wiring when nesting
• Habitat: Oak woodlands, urban trees, attics, soffits, chimneys, and wall cavities

Squirrels often access homes by jumping from trees onto roofs or by exploiting small gaps in eaves, gable vents, and fascia boards.

Why Squirrels Are a Problem

Squirrels don’t just make noise—they cause real damage and can create dangerous conditions in your home:

• Chewing Hazards: Their constantly growing teeth lead them to chew electrical wires, wooden beams, plastic pipes, and HVAC ducts—creating fire risks and costly repairs.
• Attic Nesting: Squirrels tear up insulation to build nests, creating messes and reducing energy efficiency.
• Noise Complaints: Scratching, gnawing, and scampering sounds are commonly heard in attics, especially early in the morning or at dusk.
• Structural Damage: Entry points are often chewed through soffits, fascia boards, and roof vents.
• Contamination: Feces and urine left behind can stain insulation, attract other pests, and pose health concerns.
• Re-entry: Once squirrels have nested, they often return—year after year—unless properly excluded.

Signs You Have a Squirrel Problem

• Scratching, chewing, or scurrying noises in the attic or walls
• Visible entry holes on the roofline, eaves, or vents
• Damaged insulation or chew marks around attic wiring
• Droppings near insulation or nesting areas
