Risks of Having a Squirrel Problem
Squirrels might be cute, but the damage they cause is anything but. They can:
- Chew on electrical wires (which can lead to house fires)
- Rip up insulation and build nests in your attic
- Bring fleas, ticks, and diseases like leptospirosis or salmonella
- Leave behind droppings and destruction
If you’ve heard scratching sounds in your walls, found gnawed wood around your home, or spotted nests made of twigs and leaves—there’s a good chance squirrels have moved in.
In Grand Junction’s dry climate, damaged insulation and exposed wiring can also affect how efficiently your home heats and cools. Chewed vapor barriers, torn ductwork, and urine-soaked insulation can make your furnace or air conditioner work harder, which often shows up as higher utility bills over time. We have seen situations where a small family of squirrels created multiple access routes around a roof, allowing water to enter and cause staining on ceilings after a winter storm. Catching these issues early helps limit repair costs and reduces the chance of more serious problems like mold or structural damage.

Why Humane Squirrel Control Matters
Grand Junction is full of wildlife—and that’s part of what makes this place special. Our approach keeps that balance in mind. We follow Colorado state laws and local guidelines to make sure our squirrel removal practices are not only effective, but also respectful to the ecosystem.
In some cases, a permit is needed to trap and relocate squirrels. Don’t worry—we handle all of that for you. We stay in touch with local authorities and make sure everything we do is above board.
Humane control also protects your household. Using live traps instead of poisons means you are not dealing with dead animals inside walls or lingering chemical residues where your family and pets spend time. This is especially important in homes with small children or companion animals that may explore attics, garages, or crawlspaces. By choosing methods that focus on safely removing and excluding squirrels, we reduce unpleasant odors, secondary pest problems, and the hidden clean-up issues that can come with less careful approaches.
What To Expect During Your Appointment
Knowing what will happen when someone comes to your home makes it easier to move forward with service. When you schedule squirrel removal with us, we walk you through each step before we arrive so there are no surprises. Our goal is to make the visit as straightforward as possible while still giving your property the careful attention it needs.
On the day of your appointment, we start with a brief conversation at your door to review what you have been experiencing and to confirm access points like attics, garages, or utility rooms. From there, we perform our inspection, document what we find, and then regroup with you to explain the situation in clear terms. You have an opportunity to ask questions about timing, cost, and options, and we do not begin any trapping or exclusion work until you are comfortable with the plan.
Once work begins, we let you know how often we will be back to check traps, what signs to watch for between visits, and how you can reach us if something changes. Many homeowners in Grand Junction appreciate getting a realistic timeline and a simple summary of the expected stages, from initial capture to closing up entry points.
