Squirrel Removal in Ann Arbor

Protect Your Ann Arbor Home with Trapping & Exclusion

Squirrels in an attic, wall, or roofline require more than a quick response to the noise. Frame's Pest Control, Inc. provides wildlife trapping and exclusion in Ann Arbor, addressing both the animals and the openings that allow them to enter a home.

Our family-owned business has served Southeastern Michigan since 1972. We handle squirrel problems in walls and other residential areas where animals have entered or caused property concerns.

Call (877) 803-5966 for a free phone estimate and prompt service for suspected squirrel problems.

Prompt Access to Licensed Pest Control Technicians

Our staff includes more than 35 licensed and highly trained pest control technicians. We assess the reported problem, explain what we find in straightforward terms, and discuss the trapping or exclusion options that apply to the property.

Same-day and next-day service may be available when homeowners need a timely assessment. Scheduling depends on current appointment availability, and Saturday appointments are offered when possible.

Signs of Squirrels in an Attic or Wall

Squirrels may seek sheltered attic spaces as outdoor temperatures cool. Because they’re active during the day, homeowners may hear scratching, scurrying, or gnawing from an attic or inside walls during morning or daytime hours.

Visible damage may appear around the roofline or near ventilation openings. Before arranging an inspection, note where and when you hear movement and photograph exterior damage from a safe location. Don’t climb onto the roof to investigate.

Common access areas include:

• Attic vents and attic fans
• Gnawed fascia boards
• Loose soffits and roof eaves
• Breached ridge vents

Our Squirrel Trapping & Exclusion Process

Effective squirrel removal starts by identifying the animal and locating its access points. Our licensed exterminators assess the signs and look for areas the animal has used to enter or move through the structure. When trapping is appropriate, we use strategic trap placement and regular monitoring as part of the wildlife trapping process.

Sealing & Reinforcing Entry Points

Our exclusion work can include sealing gaps in foundations, roofs, and eaves. We also secure attic and crawl-space vents, install chimney caps, reinforce weak spots, and complete minor repairs related to exclusion.

The time required can vary based on the location of the problem, the number of attic entry points, and the condition of affected areas. We explain the recommended measures after assessing the property rather than assigning an unsupported schedule in advance.

Michigan Rules for Nuisance Squirrel Trapping

Michigan nuisance wildlife rules affect how certain squirrels may be trapped and handled on private property. Under a 2023 wildlife conservation order amendment, property owners or their designees may trap or kill fox squirrels, gray squirrels, ground squirrels, and red squirrels year-round without a permit when an animal is causing damage or is physically present where it could imminently cause damage.

State law doesn’t permit a live-trapped nuisance animal to be relocated into the wild unless a licensed wildlife rehabilitator performs the relocation. A live-trapped nuisance animal generally must be released immediately at the capture site or killed. Rules can change, so property owners should consult current Michigan Department of Natural Resources guidance for the situation at hand.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources also maintains a nuisance wildlife directory for homeowners seeking a nuisance animal control company for squirrels and ground squirrels. This information is general context rather than individualized legal advice.

Checking the Property After Squirrels Have Entered

Squirrels can leave openings around attic vents, fascia boards, eaves, soffits, and other exterior access areas. Wildlife exclusion addresses identified access points so the structure can be evaluated for possible future animal entry.

Insulation, wiring, and other materials may need a separate assessment when damage is suspected. The extent of that work depends on where the squirrels entered and the condition of the affected area. Our confirmed scope includes trapping, exclusion, reinforcement, and minor exclusion-related repairs, not broader electrical or insulation work.

Clear Pricing for Squirrel Control

We provide fair, transparent pricing and a free estimate by phone. Because entry conditions vary by home, we don’t assign a fixed price or completion time without first considering the property issue.

When you call us or submit our contact form, we’ll ask about the sounds, visible damage, and locations involved so you know what to expect next.
