Common questions

Before you make the call

Are daytime roof noises always squirrels?

No. Birds and other animals can create similar sounds. Timing, entry evidence, and a direct inspection help confirm the cause.

Is sealing one opening enough?

Only if the active animal and any young are accounted for and the rest of the structure has been checked for alternate routes.
