Squirrel Control in Nebraska
Protect Your Property with Trusted Squirrel Removal Solutions

What Our Squirrel Removal Process Includes
Squirrels may look harmless, but their gnawing habits can destroy insulation, wires, and wood beams. Left unchecked, these problems lead to costly repairs or even fire risks. Our approach to squirrel control combines thorough investigation, humane removal, and practical prevention.
- Step 1: On-site inspection
We start by examining your home or business to identify entry points, nesting sites, and signs of damage. Common locations include rooflines, soffit gaps, vents, and areas near trees that overhang the structure. - Step 2: Customized removal strategy
After the inspection, we design a plan tailored to your needs. We use humane exclusion techniques, one-way doors, and deterrents that comply with Nebraska wildlife laws. Each plan addresses the current infestation while laying the groundwork for prevention. - Step 3: Property protection and repairs
Once the squirrels are removed, we discuss necessary repairs or sealing measures to block future entry. Small changes—such as vent covers, trim repair, or tree limb trimming—can make a big difference. - Step 4: Education and follow-up
Our service doesn’t stop when the squirrels are gone. We share insight about how environmental factors, food sources, and seasonal patterns affect wildlife behavior so you can maintain control year-round.
Throughout every stage, our team communicates clearly about what we’re doing and why. Nebraska residents appreciate that we handle each visit with professionalism and respect, from initial inspection through follow-up recommendations.
Our Commitment to Safe and Legal Squirrel Control
Squirrel removal in Nebraska must follow strict wildlife regulations. Trapping, relocation, or handling without proper licensing is prohibited. As a licensed pest management company, we perform every service in full compliance with state law. Our technicians understand both the ethical and environmental responsibilities that come with working around native wildlife. We focus on humane, lawful methods that protect your property and the natural ecosystem.
Because squirrel behavior varies with geography and local ordinances, we always consider how your location impacts the best course of action. Whether you live in a wooded area outside Scottsbluff or a residential neighborhood in Lincoln, we tailor every solution to your property’s specific environment. This proactive and localized approach helps prevent repeat infestations and provides lasting peace of mind.
How Our Approach Makes a Lasting Difference
Squirrel removal isn’t just about addressing the current nuisance—it’s about preventing it from happening again. Our process looks beyond the surface to identify why squirrels entered in the first place. Factors like overgrown landscaping, deteriorated siding, or uncovered attic vents often create an open invitation. We help you correct those conditions while restoring your property’s comfort and safety.
When Nebraska’s cold weather arrives, squirrels often seek shelter indoors, so prevention before winter is crucial. We also plan around spring breeding season when squirrels become more active. By staying ahead of these cycles, we keep your property protected throughout the year.
FAQs About Squirrel Control in Nebraska
1. What are the most common signs of a squirrel infestation?
Scratching or scurrying sounds in the attic are typical early warnings. You might also notice droppings, damaged insulation, or chewed wires. Outside, look for gnawed entry points or nests built under eaves.
2. Are squirrels dangerous to my home or business?
Yes. Their constant chewing can damage electrical wiring, wood framing, and insulation. Beyond property damage, chewed wires can create fire hazards if not addressed quickly.
3. How soon should I schedule a professional inspection?
As soon as you suspect activity. Acting early prevents nesting and long-term structural damage, especially before the breeding season.
4. Can I trap and relocate squirrels myself?
Nebraska law restricts unlicensed trapping and relocation. It’s always safer and more effective to hire a licensed professional familiar with state wildlife regulations.
5. What methods do you use to remove squirrels safely?
We use humane exclusion methods that allow squirrels to leave but not re-enter. Our technicians also secure access points and recommend simple property improvements for lasting protection.
6. Do weather conditions affect squirrel activity?
Absolutely. Squirrels seek warmth in winter and safe nesting areas in spring. We adapt our control methods according to the season to keep your property secure all year.
7. Will removal services disrupt my household or business?
Not at all. Our work is discreet, efficient, and designed to minimize disruption while maintaining your safety and comfort.
8. How can I keep squirrels from returning after removal?
We’ll identify and seal vulnerable areas, reduce nearby food sources, and provide clear guidance for landscape maintenance that discourages future nesting.
9. Is your squirrel control safe for families and pets?
Yes. We use responsible products and exclusion tools designed to protect people, pets, and wildlife while resolving the problem effectively.
10. How often should I schedule inspections?
An annual inspection is ideal, especially before winter. Regular checks help catch small issues early and keep your property free from wildlife intrusions.
