How do you get squirrels out of your attic and stop them from coming back?
Silver Bullet Pest Control removes squirrels from New Jersey homes with humane trapping, then seals the openings they used and repairs the damage so they are far less likely to get back in; call 973-510-2585 (NJ License 90568B). Squirrels often chew through roofing and soffits to get into attics, where their nests and droppings cause odors and contamination, and they can also damage wiring and insulation. We handle removal, exclusion and damage repair together, so the problem is fixed at the source. Same-day visits are often available, and we speak Spanish.
Signs you have squirrels in the house
Squirrels may be small, but the damage they do to a home can be significant. These are the three most common problems once they've moved in.
Noises in the attic or walls
- Scurrying or scratching, mostly in the morning and evening
- Squirrels running along the roofline or gutters
- Nesting material pulled into the attic
Squirrels move into attics to nest, especially when they're raising young. We remove them with humane trapping and check the attic for nests before anything is sealed.
Chewed roof edges and soffits
- A chewed hole at the roof edge or soffit
- Gnawed vents or fascia boards
- Water stains near where they get in
Squirrels create entry points by chewing through roofing materials and soffits. Left open, those holes can let water in and invite the next squirrel, so exclusion and repair go together.
Nests, droppings, wiring and insulation
- Droppings and urine odor in the attic
- Flattened or torn-up insulation
- Chewed electrical wiring
Nests and droppings build up in attics and cause odors and contamination. Squirrels can also chew wiring and damage insulation, which we look for during the inspection.
Squirrel removal vs. exclusion vs. damage repair
Getting the squirrels out is only one part. If the hole stays open, more squirrels move in. This is how the three services fit together.
| Service | What it does | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Squirrel removal | Gets the squirrels off the property | Humane trapping and removal, checking for nests |
| Squirrel exclusion | Stops new squirrels from getting in | Sealing chewed soffits, roof edges, vents and other gaps |
| Squirrel damage repair | Restores what they damaged | Repairing entry points and damaged areas of the home |
Don't seal the hole before the squirrels are out. A trapped squirrel will chew a new way out, sometimes into the living space. In spring and late summer there may be babies in the nest, and a mother will chew back in to reach them. We confirm the adults and any young are out before closing it up.

Squirrels in New Jersey homes, season by season
Spring
Squirrels nest and raise young, often in attics. A common time for noises overhead, and a reason to check for babies before sealing.
Summer
Active outdoors, but they keep using attic entry points and chewing on roof edges and soffits.
Fall
Squirrels look for a warm place for winter and move into attics. A common time for new holes.
Winter
Squirrels in the attic stay put through the cold. Noises at dawn and dusk are a common winter call.
Landlords & property managers
Squirrels in a rental or multi-unit roofline affect every tenant under it, and chewed wiring is a real concern. We handle removal, exclusion and repair for owners and managers. See commercial pest control.
What does squirrel removal cost?
It depends on how many squirrels there are, how many entry points need sealing, how high the roofline is and how much damage needs repair. We give a free quote and tell you the price before any work starts. See how much an exterminator costs in NJ.

How do you remove squirrels?
Our wildlife technicians use humane trapping and removal methods to get the squirrels off the property safely.
What is squirrel exclusion?
Exclusion means finding and sealing the holes squirrels use to get in, such as chewed soffits, roof edges and vents, so new squirrels can't move in.
What damage do squirrels cause?
Squirrels can chew through roofing materials and soffits, which can let water in, and they can damage electrical wiring and insulation in the attic.
Why is a squirrel in the attic a health concern?
Nests and droppings build up in the attic, which leads to odors and contamination that may need cleanup.
Do you repair squirrel damage?
Yes. Once the squirrels are out, we repair the entry points and restore the damaged areas of the home.
