Humane squirrel removal in Calgary and area
Squirrels in the attic mean an open hole in your roof — and chewed wiring, wrecked insulation, and moisture damage close behind. We evict them humanely with one-way doors, then seal every entry point so nothing gets back in.
Calgary's humane squirrel removal & exclusion
Squirrels look harmless, but in an attic they chew wiring, shred insulation for nests, and leave an opening that lets in rain, moisture and mould. A small problem turns into an expensive one fast.
The Pest Control Guy removes squirrels humanely and then seals the building envelope so it doesn't happen again — that combination is what makes the fix last.
Signs of squirrels in a Calgary attic
Squirrels are active in daylight, so the noise and the roof damage usually give them away.
Daytime noise
Scratching, scampering and rolling sounds in the attic or wall, mostly early morning and late afternoon.
Roof entry points
Chewed roof vents, gaps where two rooflines meet, and lifted shingles or fascia.
Chewed wiring
Gnaw marks on electrical wiring, wood framing and stored belongings — a real fire risk.
Nesting material
Insulation pulled into piles, plus shredded paper and fabric worked into a drey.
Droppings
Concentrated droppings in the attic near the nest and along runways.
Overhanging branches
Trees touching the roof give squirrels an easy path across to the entry point.
How we remove squirrels from an attic
We work from the roof: find the entry point, fit a one-way door so the squirrel can leave but not return, then permanently seal the opening.
Which one is in your yard?
Grey squirrels are the usual attic culprit — larger, with a long bushy tail and a pale underside. Chipmunks are much smaller, with a short stubby tail and dark stripes down the back, and they tunnel at ground level rather than nesting in the roof.
If the damage is on the roof and in the attic, it's a squirrel. Either way, we identify what you're dealing with and treat accordingly.

Calgary squirrel removal FAQs
How much does squirrel removal cost in Calgary?
It depends on the number of entry points, any attic repairs, and the extent of exclusion work. We inspect for free and give you an upfront quote.
Do you remove squirrels humanely?
Yes. We follow humane practices and Alberta wildlife regulations, using one-way doors and live trapping rather than lethal methods.
How do professionals get rid of squirrels?
Inspect the roofline for entry points, fit one-way doors so squirrels leave and can't return, then seal every opening with hardware so nothing else gets in.
Is it legal to trap squirrels in Calgary?
Yes, but humane eviction with one-way doors is preferred. A professional keeps the work compliant and ethical.
Can squirrels be relocated in Alberta?
Relocation is preferred over lethal control. Eviction with one-way doors, then relocation away from residential areas, is the standard humane approach.
How long does the process take?
Usually a few days to a couple of weeks — long enough to confirm the attic is empty before the entry points are permanently sealed.
