Squirrel Trapping & Removal, Delaware
Squirrels in an attic are trapped at the roof line where they are entering, removed, and shut out by sealing the gap they chewed. Call Dale Sipple at 302-236-1273.
Squirrels chew. That is the whole problem. A gap the width of a golf ball at a soffit corner becomes a doorway, and once inside they will strip insulation for nesting and gnaw whatever is in front of them, wiring included. Attic fires get started this way.
Squirrels are creatures of habit, which works in our favour. They use the same route in and out every day, so traps go on that route rather than scattered around the yard. Once the animals are out, the opening gets closed properly — not stuffed with foam, which they chew straight back through.
Signs you have squirrels
- Fast scampering and rolling sounds overhead in early morning
- Chewed soffit corners, fascia board or roof-line trim
- Shredded insulation or nesting material in the attic
- Droppings along attic joists
- Squirrels running the same route up the downspout or a branch every day

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get squirrels out of my attic?
Trap them on the route they are already using at the roof line, then seal the chewed opening once every animal is out. Call Animal & Wildlife Trapping at 302-236-1273 for squirrel removal in Sussex and Kent County, Delaware.
What time of day do you hear attic squirrels?
Early morning and late afternoon. Squirrels are active in daylight, which is how you tell them from raccoons and rats, which move at night.
Will squirrels come back after removal?
They will if the hole is still there. Removal without exclusion is a temporary fix. We close the entry point so the next squirrel has to chew a new one somewhere else.
Can squirrels damage my wiring?
Yes. They gnaw constantly, and chewed attic wiring is a genuine fire risk. It is the main reason not to leave a squirrel problem to sort itself out.
