Humane Squirrel Removal & Exclusion
Hearing scratching and scurrying in your attic or walls? Squirrels are charming to watch outdoors, but when they move into your home, they become destructive pests. These persistent rodents chew through wood, insulation, and even electrical wiring, creating fire hazards and costly damage. Edmonton’s urban forests and mature neighborhoods provide ideal habitat for both red squirrels and grey squirrels. At YEG Pest Control, we specialize in humane squirrel removal and permanent exclusion to keep your home squirrel-free.
