Squirrel Removal Toronto, ON
Squirrels are a major nuisance for homeowners across Toronto, from East York and Leslieville to midtown neighborhoods. While they may look harmless, these agile rodents can cause extensive and costly damage when they invade attics, chimneys, walls, and roof spaces. Squirrels chew on wires, insulation, wooden beams, and even roof shingles, creating fire hazards, structural issues, and potential electrical problems. They are also noisy at night, can spread disease, and leave behind droppings that further compromise a home’s safety and cleanliness. At 360 Wildlife Control, we specialize in humane squirrel removal in Toronto, offering professional solutions to eliminate infestations while protecting both your home and the animals.
Our process begins with a comprehensive inspection, where our trained technicians assess your property to identify all squirrel entry points, nesting sites, and areas of damage. We look at roof vents, soffits, eaves, chimneys, and other common access points, ensuring that no hidden nests or potential re-entry spots are overlooked. Once the inspection is complete, we move to the humane removal stage, using specialized one-way exclusion doors that allow squirrels to exit your home but prevent them from returning. During this stage, we also handle any baby squirrels carefully, following Ontario wildlife laws to ensure they are safely reunited with their mother whenever possible.
After the squirrels have been safely removed, our team provides full damage repair and prevention services, fixing chewed wires, insulation, vents, and other affected structures while sealing all access points to prevent future infestations. Throughout the entire process, 360 Wildlife Control strictly adheres to provincial wildlife regulations, ensuring that all removal methods are legal and humane. Our team combines years of experience, professional training, and competitive pricing to provide Toronto homeowners with reliable, effective, and compassionate wildlife control services. By choosing 360 Wildlife Control for squirrel removal, you are protecting your property, safeguarding your family, and solving your wildlife problem the right way.

Squirrel biology and behaviour
Understanding squirrel behaviour is essential for effective and long-lasting squirrel removal, especially in urban areas like Toronto and the GTA. Squirrels are highly intelligent, agile, and persistent animals that quickly adapt to residential and commercial environments. They are most active during early morning and late afternoon, spending much of their time searching for food and safe nesting locations. Homes and buildings provide ideal shelter, particularly attics, roof voids, and wall cavities, which offer warmth, protection from predators, and a secure place to raise young.
Squirrels are excellent climbers and can easily access roofs using trees, fences, utility lines, and even brick or siding surfaces. Once on the roof, they aggressively chew through shingles, soffits, roof vents, and fascia to gain entry. Chewing is a natural squirrel behavior that keeps their teeth from overgrowing, which is why they frequently gnaw on wood, plastic, aluminum, and even electrical wiring. During squirrel baby seasons—typically in spring and late summer—female squirrels become especially destructive as they seek out safe denning areas to raise their young, often returning to the same home year after year if access points are not properly sealed.
Squirrels are territorial and determined, meaning that simple patchwork repairs or temporary fixes rarely stop an infestation. If entry points are not professionally wildlife-proofed, squirrels will reopen the same holes or create new ones nearby. Their nesting activity results in damaged insulation, noise in ceilings and walls, strong odors, and contamination from urine and droppings. For Toronto property owners, understanding squirrel behavior highlights why humane squirrel removal, thorough inspections, and professional exclusion services are critical to preventing recurring squirrel problems and protecting your property long term.
Squirrel Damages
Squirrels cause extensive and costly property damage to homes and businesses throughout the GTA, making professional squirrel removal in Toronto essential when an infestation occurs. Their strength, intelligence, and persistence allow them to exploit even small structural weaknesses. One of the most common problem areas is roof vents and roof pipes, where squirrels chew or tear through plastic and aluminum covers to create large entry holes. These openings allow water intrusion, heat loss, and access for other pests. Soffits and fascia are also frequent targets, as squirrels can easily pry them open, causing visible exterior damage and direct entry into attic spaces.
At roof-to-wall junctions, corners, and rooflines, squirrels take advantage of weak construction points, enlarging minor gaps into major access holes that compromise insulation and building integrity. Roof shingles are often lifted, chewed, or torn away as squirrels climb and dig toward nesting areas, leading to roof leaks and long-term structural deterioration. Inside attics and commercial ceiling spaces, squirrel activity results in destroyed insulation, urine and feces contamination, damaged ductwork, and chewed electrical wiring—posing serious fire and health hazards. For Toronto property owners, ignoring squirrel damage can quickly lead to expensive repairs, safety risks, and business interruptions, highlighting the importance of timely, humane squirrel removal, expert inspections, and professional wildlife-proofing services.
Squirrel Removal Services
360 Wildlife Control provides professional, humane, and highly effective squirrel removal services in Toronto and the GTA, helping homeowners and businesses resolve squirrel problems safely and permanently. Our squirrel removal process begins with a detailed inspection to identify entry points, den sites, and the full extent of squirrel activity, allowing us to choose the most appropriate removal technique for each situation. Whenever possible, we use one-way door systems, which allow squirrels to exit attics, chimneys, or wall cavities without being able to re-enter, ensuring a humane and long-term solution that complies with Ontario wildlife regulations. In cases where exclusion alone is not suitable, such as when squirrels are trapped in confined spaces or causing immediate damage, our licensed technicians may use live trapping or live snaring methods, always following strict guidelines set by the Ministry of Natural Resources. Beyond removal, 360 Wildlife Control specializes in squirrel damage repair and prevention, restoring torn soffits, damaged roof vents, roof junctions, shingles, and contaminated attic insulation to protect the structural integrity of your property. By combining expert squirrel removal with professional repairs and wildlife-proofing, 360 Wildlife Control delivers a complete solution that prevents repeat infestations and gives Toronto property owners long-lasting peace of mind.
1. Inspection
A proper and comprehensive squirrel inspection is the most important step in effective squirrel removal and long-term squirrel control, helping prevent repeat infestations. Our professional squirrel inspection services begin with a detailed roof assessment, as squirrels most often enter homes through vulnerable or damaged roofing areas. We thoroughly inspect roof shingles, roof vents, plumbing stacks, soffits, fascia, flashing, and roof junctions to locate active squirrel entry points, structural weaknesses, and clear signs of squirrel activity such as gnaw marks, torn materials, nesting debris, and grease marks.
Beyond the exterior, we perform a complete attic inspection for squirrel damage, identifying hidden issues that homeowners often miss. This includes checking for disturbed or compacted insulation, squirrel urine and feces contamination, chewed electrical wiring, wood damage, and moisture or water leaks caused by nesting activity. We also look for strong odors, staining, and the presence of baby squirrels, which is especially common during Toronto’s spring and late-summer squirrel baby seasons. By combining a detailed roof inspection with a thorough attic evaluation, our squirrel removal experts can accurately assess the severity of the infestation, identify every access point, and develop a customized, long-term squirrel removal and prevention plan designed to protect your home.
2. Removal
Squirrel removal is most effectively and humanely completed using a professional one-way door system, the industry-standard solution for safe and permanent squirrel control. This proven method allows squirrels to exit your home naturally while preventing them from re-entering, ensuring a stress-free and humane outcome. One-way doors are custom-sized and securely installed over the main squirrel entry points, which commonly include roof openings, attic access areas, soffits, roof vents, fascia gaps, and other structural vulnerabilities.
After installation, squirrels will leave the attic or roof space in search of food—typically during early morning or evening hours—but are unable to return inside. This non-invasive humane squirrel removal technique eliminates the risk of trapping animals indoors and fully complies with Ontario wildlife control regulations. Once we confirm that all squirrels have safely exited, the one-way door is removed and the opening is permanently sealed using heavy-duty, wildlife-proof materials. This final step completes the squirrel exclusion process, stopping future infestations and protecting your home from ongoing squirrel damage.
3. Repair
Once the squirrel problem has been fully resolved and all animals have been safely removed, the final and most important step is professional repair and restoration. Squirrels often cause extensive damage to roofing materials, soffits, fascia, vents, insulation, and attic structures, and failing to repair these areas can quickly lead to future infestations. Our squirrel damage repair process begins by permanently sealing all former entry points using heavy-gauge metal, wildlife-proof flashing, and durable construction materials designed to withstand future squirrel activity.
We also repair or replace damaged roof shingles, roof vents, and plumbing stacks, restore torn soffits and fascia, and reinforce vulnerable roof junctions. Inside the attic, we address contaminated or compressed insulation, remove raccoon droppings, neutralize odors, and repair any structural or moisture-related damage caused by nesting. These comprehensive squirrel damage repairs not only restore the integrity of your home but also improve energy efficiency and prevent recurring wildlife problems. By completing proper repairs after squirrel removal, we ensure long-term protection and peace of mind for homeowners and businesses.
Squirrel Baby Removal
During squirrel baby season—typically once in early spring (April) and again in late summer (August)—it is critical to inspect the nesting area for babies before any removal is attempted. Simply removing or relocating the mother is not only illegal in Ontario, but it almost always results in the death of the baby squirrels left behind. This is why hiring a professional squirrel removal company is essential. When babies are present, they must be carefully removed by hand and placed in a specially designed, temperature-controlled reunion box (incubator) outside the home. This allows the mother squirrel to safely locate her young and relocate them to an alternate den site. Once the family is reunited, all potential entry points must be properly sealed and reinforced with wildlife-grade screening to prevent re-entry.
If the baby squirrels are not immediately accessible, alternative humane methods must be used. In many cases, the most effective solution is to open the affected wall or soffit area to safely extract the babies. If this is not possible, the homeowner must wait until the young squirrels are fully developed and mobile before any eviction can occur. Attempting removal too early can lead to serious property damage, health concerns, and distressing outcomes. During baby season, working with an experienced wildlife removal professional is the only safe and humane way to resolve a squirrel problem without creating a much bigger one.
