Virginia experiences a varied climate, with warm, humid summers and cold winters. These seasonal changes drive squirrel activity. In winter, squirrels often seek refuge in attics and wall voids for warmth. During warmer months, they are active foragers and nesters, potentially causing damage to homes. Our process involves a detailed inspection to identify the animals, their entry points, and any resulting damage.
Virginia's housing stock includes historic homes with numerous potential access points and newer constructions. We meticulously examine your property, from the roofline to the foundation, to locate all entry points. Our technicians are trained to safely and humanely remove squirrels and implement exclusion measures to prevent future invasions. We prioritize practical, long-term solutions for your peace of mind.
There is no charge to discuss your wildlife situation over the phone. We will ask questions about the animal and the problem. Based on this information, we can explain the next steps and provide an estimate for service. Our goal is to offer clear and upfront information before any work begins.
The 3-3-3 rule is a guideline for understanding how long it takes a newly rescued animal to adjust to a new environment. It suggests three days to decompress, three weeks to learn routines, and three months to feel at home. This applies to domesticated animals and is not a standard for wild animals in removal situations.
For stray cats in Virginia, you can contact local animal shelters or humane societies. They often have resources for trapping and rehoming stray felines.
