🐿️ Squirrel Removal in Westchester County, NY

Eastern grey squirrels are abundant throughout Westchester County's parks and heavily wooded neighborhoods. They frequently enter attics in fall and late winter seeking warm nesting sites. Squirrels chew through wood, insulation, and electrical wiring — a documented fire risk that should not be ignored.

Westchester County's abundant mature tree canopy provides squirrel highways directly to rooflines. Mid-century homes in Scarsdale, Bronxville, Harrison, and Rye with deteriorated fascia and soffits offer easy entry. Properties adjacent to Westchester's extensive park system — Rockefeller State Park, Teatown Lake Reservation, and Saxon Woods — have particularly high squirrel pressure. The sound of squirrels in the attic is typically rapid scurrying, not the slow creeping of raccoons.

How We Treat Squirrel Removal in Westchester County

• One-way exclusion devices — Installed over the primary entry point. Allows squirrels inside to exit but prevents re-entry, eliminating the animal without killing.
• Entry point sealing — After confirming the attic is clear, all entry points (open ridge vents, deteriorated soffits, gaps around plumbing stacks) are sealed with hardware cloth or metal flashing.
• Trap supplementation — If squirrels are already trapped inside, live traps are deployed to remove them humanely.
• Tree trimming consultation — Advice on trimming branches that overhang the roof, reducing direct access to the attic.
