Squirrel Removal in Katy, TX - Mama Bear Pest & Outdoor
Mama Bear Pest & Outdoor offers the best squirrel removal services in the Katy, TX area. Squirrels will break into your attic, where they will rip up your insulation to make their nests, ruining the insulation’s ability to resist heat. Squirrels will also bring in outside nesting material like dead leaves, twigs and straw, which can pose a fire hazard. Squirrels also chew through the rubber covering around wires, exposing the bare wiring to the insulation and nesting material, further increasing the risk of a house fire.
Squirrels will soil your insulation with their urine and droppings, which can make the insulation less effective and create a health hazard in your home. The smell of squirrel droppings and urine can actually attract MORE squirrels to your property, increasing the potential damage they can cause.

Squirrel in Attic Damage
Squirrels love to nest and have their babies inside your attic, as attics provide warmth, safety from predators, and shelter from harsh weather. Squirrels will gnaw and chew the smallest holes and cracks in your soffit, gable vent, fascia board, or rake board, exploiting these tiny cracks until they are entry points they can fit through. Once inside, squirrels will begin gnawing on everything in sight, including wooden beams, floorboards, and walls, as well as the rubber covering around wires, which can pose a fire risk. Squirrels will soil your attic insulation with their urine and feces, which can spread disease, and the smell can attract even more squirrels to your property.
Squirrels will also rip up and shred your attic insulation to build their nests, often bringing in outside nesting material like dead leaves and twigs.
Are Squirrels Dangerous?
When squirrels bring in their dry, dead nesting material like leaves, straw, and twigs, it can pose a potential fire hazard, which is increased if they are also chewing on wires within the attic. While squirrels can carry rabies, they are generally not known to spread the rabies virus to people. However, squirrels can transmit several other diseases and parasites, including leptospirosis, tularemia, salmonellosis, ringworm, ticks, fleas, and mites.
Squirrels are generally not aggressive, but they are unpredictable wild animals armed with claws and teeth, and they may lash out when threatened or cornered. Always leave squirrel removal to the experts at Mama Bear Pest & Outdoor. Our wildlife technicians are trained to safely remove squirrels from your attic without any biting or scratching.
