Squirrel Removal in Fordham, Bronx
Squirrels are a common sight in Fordham's tree-lined streets, but when they invade your attic or walls, they can cause serious damage to insulation, wiring, and structural components. Best Pest Control NYC provides comprehensive squirrel removal services throughout Fordham, from the historic homes near Fordham University to the residential buildings along Webster Avenue. Our humane removal process includes live trapping, exclusion repairs, and thorough cleanup to protect your property.
Why Fordham Has a Squirrels Problem
Fordham's mature trees near the Botanical Garden and along Arthur Avenue create ideal habitats for squirrels, which frequently seek shelter in the attics of nearby Victorian homes and brick apartment buildings. The area's mix of older architecture and dense urban development makes professional exclusion work essential to prevent recurring squirrel intrusions.
Why Choose Us for Squirrel Removal in Fordham
Squirrels in attics and walls cause significant damage — chewing electrical wiring, destroying insulation, and creating fire hazards — so removal and exclusion need to happen together, not in sequence. Our technicians inspect the exterior to map all entry points, then install one-way exclusion devices that allow squirrels to exit but not re-enter, humanane approach that avoids trapping and relocating nursing young. Once all squirrel activity has ceased (confirmed by monitoring), we seal every entry point with galvanized hardware cloth, metal flashing, and caulk — materials squirrels cannot chew through. Our 30-day guarantee covers re-entry through any point we sealed, and we provide a full written report of all exclusion work performed.
