How much does squirrel removal cost in Louisville?

The cost depends on the number of entry points that need to be sealed. A simple one-way door installation might start around $300-$400. However, if squirrels have chewed through multiple soffits, vents, or rooflines, the cost for full exclusion and repair typically ranges from $800 to $2,500. We provide a free inspection to give you an exact quote.

Do you use traps or one-way doors for squirrels?

We prefer one-way exclusion doors. These devices are installed over the main entry point, allowing squirrels to leave your attic to find food but preventing them from getting back in. This is the most humane and effective method. We only use live traps if the one-way door method isn't feasible or if we need to capture a specific animal.

Will squirrels chew through the repairs?

Not with our materials. We use heavy-gauge galvanized steel mesh and metal flashing that squirrels cannot chew through. Standard wood, plastic, or spray foam repairs will fail within days. Our exclusion work comes with a warranty against re-entry.

Squirrel Infestations in Louisville Attics

Squirrels are extremely common in Louisville homes, particularly in fall and winter when they seek warm nesting sites. Both **Eastern Gray Squirrels** and **Southern Flying Squirrels** invade attics through small gaps in rooflines, causing damage through constant gnawing and nesting activity. Squirrel problems require professional intervention to prevent fire hazards and structural damage.

Common Squirrel Problems

⚠
Fire Hazards:
Squirrels chew through electrical wiring, creating serious fire risks in attics and walls. They must gnaw to keep their teeth filed down.
⚠
Structural Damage:
Constant gnawing on wooden beams, rafters, and structural supports weakens your home's framework.
⚠
Noise Disturbances:
Running, scratching, and gnawing sounds throughout the day (gray squirrels) or night (flying squirrels).
⚠
Insulation Damage:
Squirrels compress and contaminate attic insulation with urine and feces, reducing energy efficiency and increasing utility costs.
⚠
Small Entry Points:
Squirrels can enter through gaps as small as 1.5 inches, making prevention challenging without professional help.
