About SquirrelControl.ca

Your Resource for Professional Squirrel Removal & Exclusion in Ontario

SquirrelControl.ca is an educational and service-support website dedicated to helping homeowners understand, identify, and resolve squirrel intrusions throughout Southern Ontario. All information, case studies, and guidance provided here are based on real field experience from licensed wildlife control technicians.

SquirrelControl.ca is operated by Wildlife Shield, the wildlife removal division of The Exterminators Inc., a fully licensed and insured pest and wildlife control company serving the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding regions. While this website does not represent a standalone business location, it serves as a comprehensive and experience-backed resource for homeowners facing squirrel-related structural issues.

Who We Are

Our content is created with the support of trained wildlife control technicians who have completed thousands of squirrel removal and exclusion jobs across Ontario. Their firsthand experience forms the foundation of every guide, article, and case study published on this website.

Our technicians routinely handle:

• Squirrels nesting in attics and wall cavities

• Intrusions through soffits, rooflines, shingles, and vents

• Chewed wiring, insulation damage, and nesting debris

• Noisy morning or daytime activity indicating squirrel presence

• Repeat intrusions caused by unaddressed structural vulnerabilities

Every piece of content reflects real situations our technicians encounter daily and the proven techniques used to humanely remove squirrels and prevent them from re-entering.

Our Expertise in Squirrel Behaviour & Structural Entry Points

Squirrels are persistent, intelligent animals that adapt quickly to structural weaknesses. Over many years, Wildlife Shield technicians have developed a deep understanding of:

• Seasonal squirrel behavior

• Common structural entry points

• Roofline vulnerabilities (soffits, fascia boards, shingles)

• Vent openings and attic access paths

• The long-term damage squirrels can cause inside homes

This level of expertise is based on real inspections and exclusion work performed every day across Southern Ontario. It cannot be duplicated by generic or automatically generated content.

How We Approach Squirrel Removal

Wildlife Shield follows a humane, structural, and prevention-focused process:

1. Humane One-Way Door Removal

Squirrels are allowed to exit safely on their own, including nursing mothers when appropriate.

2. Detailed Structural Inspection

Technicians identify primary and secondary entry points, weak spots, and areas at risk.

3. Reinforced Exclusion

We install heavy-gauge steel mesh, flashing, and sealing materials engineered to withstand chewing, weather, and pressure.

4. Long-Term Protection

We recommend permanent solutions to prevent future intrusions and reduce property damage risks.

This proven method is what makes Wildlife Shield one of the most trusted wildlife removal teams in the region.
