Professional Squirrel Removal in Troy MI
Squirrels in your attic, walls, or crawl space aren’t a minor nuisance — they chew wiring, destroy insulation, and breed fast. We remove them humanely, seal every entry point, and restore your home against re-entry. Licensed. Local. Guaranteed.
Important: A single pair of squirrels can produce two litters per year with up to six young each. If you hear scratching in your attic or walls, call us today — +1 (947) 376-6740 — before the problem multiplies.
Squirrel Problem in Troy?
Why Squirrel Infestations Are More Serious Than You Think
Eastern gray squirrels are the most common wildlife intruder in Troy-area homes. They’re agile climbers and persistent chewers, and they’re very good at finding the gaps and vents that give them access to your attic, soffit, and wall cavities. Once inside, they don’t simply shelter — they nest, breed, and cause damage that compounds with every season you delay.
The biggest risk squirrels pose isn’t the noise or the mess. It’s the electrical wiring. Squirrels have continuously growing incisor teeth that they must gnaw on constantly to keep trimmed. That means cable jackets, junction boxes, and live wires inside your attic are at serious risk. The National Fire Protection Association links rodent chewing to hundreds of residential fires each year.
At Elite Bat Control Troy, our squirrel removal technicians combine live-trap removal with complete exclusion — sealing every potential entry point with galvanized steel and heavy-gauge mesh that squirrels physically cannot chew through. We don’t just trap what’s visible. We solve the underlying access problem so this doesn’t happen again.
Warning Signs
7 Signs You Have Squirrels in Your Home
Squirrel infestations rarely announce themselves clearly. Here are the signs Troy homeowners most commonly report before calling us.
Scratching & Scurrying Sounds
Rapid, light scratching in walls, ceilings, or attic spaces — especially at dawn and dusk when squirrels are most active.
Chewed Wiring or Insulation
Frayed wires, torn insulation, or chewed wooden beams in your attic are definitive signs of squirrel activity and a fire hazard.
Nesting Materials in Attic
Piles of leaves, insulation scraps, or shredded fabric in the attic indicate an active squirrel nest.
Droppings in Attic or Walls
Squirrel droppings are small, dark, and cylindrical. Finding them in the attic confirms an active or recent infestation.
Visible Entry Holes on Roof
Chewed fascia boards, damaged soffits, or holes near rooflines are how squirrels gain access to your home’s interior.
Staining on Ceilings or Walls
Dark water-like stains from urine or compressed nesting material soaking through drywall is a sign of long-term occupation.
Increased Squirrel Activity Near Roofline
Squirrels repeatedly running up and down your exterior walls or exploring near vents and soffits signals they’ve found or are searching for an entry point.

Why Choose Us
Why Troy Homeowners Call Elite Bat Control First
We specialize in wildlife exclusion — not general pest control. That means squirrel removal is something we do every day, not occasionally.
Licensed & Insured in Michigan
We hold a Michigan Nuisance Animal Control Agent (NACA) license. Every technician is trained, insured, and follows state wildlife regulations on every job.
Humane-Only Methods
We use live-capture traps and one-way exclusion devices. We never poison squirrels — it’s inhumane, and dead animals inside walls create secondary odor and pest problems.
2-Year Re-Entry Guarantee
Every exclusion job comes with a written guarantee. If squirrels re-enter through any point we sealed within two years, we return and fix it at no charge.
We Seal the Source — Not Just the Symptom
Trapping alone doesn’t solve squirrel problems. New squirrels will enter through the same openings. We seal every entry point before, during, or after removal so the problem is solved permanently.
Local & Oakland County-Based
We’re based right here in the Troy area. We understand Oakland County’s housing stock, common squirrel species, and the seasonal patterns that drive infestations in Southeast Michigan.
Transparent, Flat-Rate Pricing
No surprise charges. We provide a written quote before any work begins, and our pricing covers all trapping, sealing, and follow-up visits within the agreed scope.
Our Process
How We Remove Squirrels From Your Troy Home
Our squirrel removal process is thorough, documented, and built around permanent results — not repeat service calls.
Inspection & Assessment
We inspect your entire exterior and attic to map all active and potential entry points, assess damage, and determine colony size and activity level.
Exclusion Setup
We install one-way exclusion funnels at active entries and seal all secondary access points with galvanized steel — materials squirrels cannot chew through.
Live-Trap Removal
For squirrels that cannot self-exit through exclusion devices, we place humane live-capture traps and monitor them with return visits every 24–48 hours.
Final Sealing
Once squirrels are fully removed and activity has ceased, we permanently seal all exclusion funnel openings and conduct a final exterior audit.
Cleanup & Restoration
We remove soiled insulation, disinfect the affected area, and restore your attic to a clean, safe condition — including wiring documentation if needed.
Customer Reviews
What Troy Homeowners Say
We’ve resolved squirrel infestations in homes throughout Troy, Rochester Hills, Birmingham, and the broader Oakland County area.
“We had squirrels in our attic for weeks and tried everything ourselves. Elite came out the next day, found three entry points we’d completely missed, and had them excluded within 48 hours. No more scratching. The attic cleanup they did afterward was just as impressive.”
“I called on a Thursday morning about squirrels getting into my soffit. They were at my house by 2pm that same day. The technician was extremely knowledgeable about squirrel behavior and explained everything clearly. Problem solved within a week. Highly recommend.”
“The 2-year guarantee gave us real peace of mind. They sealed 6 different entry points along our roofline and we haven’t had a single issue since. After dealing with two other companies that only placed traps and called it done, Elite actually fixed the problem.”
Local Knowledge
Squirrel Removal Across Troy & Oakland County
We provide squirrel removal and exclusion services throughout Troy and neighboring communities. Squirrel species, home construction types, and seasonal activity patterns vary across the region — our technicians know the local landscape well.
Troy’s mature tree canopy — particularly in older neighborhoods near the Square Lake corridor and along Wattles Road — creates ideal habitat for eastern gray squirrels year-round. Homes with overhanging branches within 10 feet of the roofline are particularly vulnerable. Our inspections always include a canopy assessment and trimming recommendations alongside the structural exclusion work.
We also serve homeowners in Rochester Hills and Birmingham with the same licensed, guaranteed exclusion approach. If you’re unsure whether your situation also involves bats or raccoons — two species that often share the same attic entry points as squirrels — our inspection covers all wildlife, not just squirrels.
