Squirrel Removal in Red Hook, Brooklyn
Red Hook's unique waterfront location and mix of historic warehouses, brownstones, and newer developments create ideal conditions for squirrel infestations.

Why Red Hook Has a Squirrels Problem
Red Hook's tree-lined streets, proximity to the waterfront esplanade, and blend of historic and renovated buildings make it particularly attractive to gray squirrels seeking shelter and nesting sites. The neighborhood's warehouses, cobblestone streets, and residential areas near Van Brunt Street and Columbia Street often experience seasonal squirrel activity as these animals search for warm winter refuges.
Why Choose Us for Squirrel Removal in Red Hook
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, humanane 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. Our 30-day guarantee covers re-entry through any point we sealed, and we provide a full written report of all exclusion work performed.
