Squirrel Removal in Chestnut Ridge
Gray squirrels are one of the most common attic intruders for Chestnut Ridge homeowners. Unlike raccoons, squirrels are active during the day — you'll often hear them running and scratching in your attic in the morning. They chew constantly and can gnaw through electrical wires, creating a serious fire hazard that many homeowners don't discover until it's too late.
Squirrel Problems in Chestnut Ridge
Our exclusion-based approach is the only permanent solution for squirrel removal in Chestnut Ridge. We install one-way doors over the primary entry point so squirrels can exit but not re-enter, then seal every other gap with heavy-gauge steel mesh. After 5-7 days, we confirm the squirrels are gone, remove the one-way doors, and seal those openings permanently.

Squirrel Removal in Chestnut Ridge — FAQ
How do squirrels get into homes in Chestnut Ridge?
Gray squirrels are excellent climbers that access homes through gaps at roof edges, deteriorating soffits, gable vents, and roof-to-wall intersections. In Chestnut Ridge, mature trees with overhanging branches give squirrels easy roof access. Even a 1½-inch gap is enough for a squirrel to squeeze through.
Can I just trap squirrels myself in Chestnut Ridge?
Trapping alone doesn't work — squirrels will keep returning until entry points are sealed. In New York, there are also regulations about relocating trapped squirrels. Our Chestnut Ridge team uses one-way exclusion doors that let squirrels exit on their own, then we permanently seal every entry point so they can't return.
How do you stop squirrels from coming back in Chestnut Ridge?
After squirrels exit through one-way doors, we replace those doors with permanent steel mesh and seal every gap with hardware cloth and caulk. We also assess and recommend trimming tree branches within 6-8 feet of your Chestnut Ridge roof. Our exclusion work comes with a warranty.
