Squirrels are one of the most common attic invaders in Ocala. They are agile, persistent, and constantly chewing to keep their teeth trimmed — which means an attic full of squirrels means chewed insulation, chewed wiring, and chewed wood.
Wildlife Removal Ocala handles squirrel removal from the roof, attic, wall voids, chimneys, and soffits. Every job includes finding entry points, safely removing the animals, sealing openings, and repairing damage.
We work throughout Ocala, Belleview, Summerfield, Marion Oaks, Dunnellon, Silver Springs, and neighboring Marion County communities. Both gray squirrels and flying squirrels show up in Florida attics; the removal approach is a little different for each.
Warning signs to watch for
- Scampering and rolling sounds in the attic at dawn and dusk
- Chewed openings at soffit corners or gable vents
- Chewed wiring and insulation in the attic
- Piled leaves, twigs, or shredded material used as nesting
- Squirrels seen entering the roofline
- Chewed wood on fascia, trim, or roof returns
Common entry points
- Soffit returns — the number-one squirrel entry point
- Chewed gable vents
- Ridge vents and off-ridge roof vents
- Fascia gaps
- Roof intersections and construction gaps
- Chimney flues without a cap
Why the animal came in
- Attics offer a safe, insulated space to nest and raise young
- Two breeding seasons a year push squirrels to find shelter
- Overhanging tree limbs give them one-jump roof access
- Nearby oaks and food sources make the property attractive
Risks and property damage
- Chewed wiring is a real fire risk
- Damaged insulation and structural wood
- Continuing damage as long as the squirrels stay
- Additional squirrels moving in through the same openings
Our inspection process
- Roofline walk to find active and potential entry points
- Attic inspection to spot nesting areas and damage
- Assessment of whether dependent young are present
Removal approach
- Live trapping at active entry points
- One-way exclusion doors that let squirrels leave but not return
- Family-safe timing when dependent young are inside
We do not recommend homeowners attempt to trap, poison, or handle wildlife themselves. Florida wildlife regulations apply, and improper handling creates safety and legal risks.
Exclusion and structural repairs
This is the part of the job that keeps the animals from coming back. We use durable materials — not foam or loose screen — so the repair holds up long-term.
- Sealing soffit returns with heavy-gauge metal
- Reinforcing or replacing chewed vents
- Installing vent guards on gable, ridge, and off-ridge vents
- Chimney cap installation
- Repair of chewed fascia and roof-return wood
Cleanup and restoration
- Removal of nesting material and droppings
- Attic sanitation where warranted
- Insulation replacement when contamination is heavy
What affects the cost
We publish cost factors rather than fixed prices because every property is different. After an inspection, we provide a clear written estimate.
- Animal species and the number of animals involved
- Number and location of active entry points
- Roof height, pitch, and overall accessibility of the structure
- Extent of damage to soffit, fascia, vents, or insulation
- Level of attic or crawlspace contamination
- Specialized equipment needed for the removal or exclusion
- Size of the building and total linear footage of exclusion work
