Humane, Guaranteed Squirrel Removal in North York
We provide licensed, humane squirrel removal for homes and businesses across North York. Our technicians inspect your roofline and attic, remove the animal safely, and seal the entry point so squirrels cannot get back in.
Squirrel Problems Are Common Near North York's Parks and Mature Trees
North York’s mature tree canopy and ravine system give squirrels constant access to nearby rooflines. Animals moving along the Don River ravine system regularly travel through yards near Earl Bales Park, Downsview Park and G. Ross Lord Park before jumping onto a roof edge. Once a squirrel finds a gap in your soffit, fascia board or roofline, it will chew the opening wider and move in to nest.
We provide wildlife removal in North York for homeowners in Bathurst Manor, Willowdale, York Mills and along the Yonge Street corridor, where mature trees sit close to rooflines and power lines. We inspect your roofline, soffits and power line access points to find exactly how the animal got in before we begin work.
OUR REVIEWS
The Risk of Leaving a Squirrel in Your Attic
A squirrel left in your attic does not stay quiet for long. It will gnaw at wood framing and electrical wiring to keep its teeth worn down, creating a real fire risk near your electrical panel, while shredding insulation to build a nest. Left unaddressed, this damage becomes far more expensive to repair than an early removal.
Squirrel droppings also carry health risks for your family, and the constant scratching and chewing noise in your ceiling can become hard to ignore. We remove contaminated material and disinfect the affected area as part of our cleanup, protecting both your property and your household.
Our Squirrel Removal Process
Every North York property is different, so we tailor the process to what we find during inspection. Here is what you can expect when you call us.
Inspection
We examine your roofline, attic, soffits and power line access points to confirm how the squirrel entered and whether young are present.
Humane Removal
We remove the animal using a humane method suited to the location, often a one-way door that lets it exit on its own. We follow MNRF guidelines for humane squirrel handling and exclusion in Ontario.
Exclusion & Proofing
We seal the entry point with durable materials so another squirrel cannot chew through or use the same opening again.
Cleanup & Restoration
We remove contaminated insulation and nesting material, then disinfect the area to restore your attic to a safe condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does squirrel removal cost in North York?
The cost depends on where the squirrel has entered, how many animals are present and how much repair work the entry point needs. A squirrel behind a fascia board is priced differently than one nesting deep in an attic through a chewed vent. We provide a clear quote after inspecting your property so there are no surprises.
Is squirrel removal regulated in Ontario?
Yes. Under Ontario’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, squirrels must be handled humanely, and MNRF guidance restricts how far a trapped animal can be relocated from the capture site. Our technicians follow these rules on every job, which is why exclusion is usually preferred over relocation.
How do you remove a squirrel from my attic?
We start with a full inspection to confirm where the squirrel is nesting and whether young are present. Depending on what we find, we install a one-way door or carry out a hands-on removal, then seal the opening once the attic is confirmed empty. Every step is documented so you know exactly what was done to your property.
How quickly should I deal with a squirrel in my attic?
Squirrels cause more damage the longer they stay, gnawing on wood framing and wiring while shredding insulation for nesting material. A denning female can also mean babies are hidden nearby, which complicates a delayed removal. We recommend calling as soon as you hear movement so we can respond before the situation gets worse.
