🐿️ Is Your Brantford Home "Squirrel-Proof"?
A Checklist for Homeowners
Squirrels are persistent, and in Brantford, they are always looking for a warm place to nest during the changing seasons. A small gap in your roof or a loose soffit is all they need to cause thousands of dollars in damage to your attic wiring and insulation.
At Brothers Wildlife Removal, we see the same entry points time and time again. Use this checklist to inspect your home and see if you’re at risk:
🏠 Your Squirrel-Prevention Checklist:
• [ ] Check the Roofline: Look for gaps between the roof shingles and the edge of the roof (the drip edge).
• [ ] Inspect Soffits & Fascia: Are there any loose, damaged, or sagging aluminum panels? Squirrels can peel these back easily.
• [ ] Secure Attic Vents: Ensure all gable and roof vents have heavy-duty, chew-proof steel screening.
• [ ] Check for Chewing Signs: Look for gnaw marks around wooden eaves or plastic vent covers.
🚨 What to do if you see signs of activity:
If you hear scratching in your ceiling or see a squirrel entering your home, don’t seal the hole yet. You could accidentally trap a mother and her litter inside, leading to dead animals, terrible odors, and structural damage.
Let the local experts handle it. We provide professional, humane, and permanent exclusion services for residential properties in Brantford, Paris, St. George, and surrounding Brant County.
