Why East Elmhurst Has a Squirrels Problem
East Elmhurst's tree-lined residential streets and proximity to Flushing Bay create ideal conditions for squirrel populations seeking shelter in attics and crawl spaces. From the historic homes near Astoria Boulevard to properties around Ditmars Boulevard, our team understands the specific construction styles and wildlife patterns that make effective squirrel control essential in this Queens neighborhood.
Why Choose Us for Squirrel Removal in East Elmhurst
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.

What damage can squirrels cause to East Elmhurst homes?▾
Squirrels commonly damage East Elmhurst homes by chewing through roof soffits, fascia boards, and attic vents to gain entry. Once inside, they gnaw on electrical wiring (creating fire hazards), tear insulation for nesting, contaminate areas with urine and feces, and create noise disturbances. They may also damage siding, gutters, and wooden trim on the exterior of your property.
Do you use humane squirrel removal methods?▾
Yes, we exclusively use humane, ethical squirrel removal techniques in compliance with New York wildlife regulations. Our methods include live trapping and relocation, one-way exclusion doors that allow squirrels to exit but not re-enter, and thorough sealing of entry points. We never use poisons or lethal methods, and we take special care when baby squirrels are present to reunite families before exclusion.
