Why Cortlandt Has a Squirrels Problem
Cortlandt's wooded areas near the Hudson River and numerous parks like Bear Mountain create ideal squirrel habitats that often lead to home invasions, especially during fall and winter months. Properties near Sprout Brook, Furnace Woods, and along Route 9 are particularly susceptible to squirrel activity as these animals seek warm shelter in attics and chimneys.
Why Choose Us for Squirrel Removal in Cortlandt
Squirrels in attics and walls cause significant damage — chewing electrical wiring, destroying insulation, and creating fire hazards — so removal and exclusion need to happen together, not in sequence. Our technicians inspect the exterior to map all entry points, then install one-way exclusion devices that allow squirrels to exit but not re-enter, humane approach that avoids trapping and relocating nursing young. Once all squirrel activity has ceased (confirmed by monitoring), we seal every entry point with galvanized hardware cloth, metal flashing, and caulk — materials squirrels cannot chew through. Every service includes a service agreement — terms depend on the service and are confirmed on the call.
