Squirrel Removal in Worcester
Licensed Squirrel Control for Worcester Homes and Businesses
At Ford's Hometown Services, we provide squirrel control for Worcester homes and businesses. Our family-owned company has served Central Massachusetts since 1941, and our wildlife staff hold current Problem Animal Control licenses. We help property owners identify indoor activity, assess likely access points, and discuss an appropriate squirrel removal plan.
Squirrels may enter attics, crawl spaces, sheds, wall voids, and chimney areas to nest or seek shelter. Once inside, they can disturb insulation, gnaw wood, damage electrical wiring, and leave droppings or nesting materials in hard-to-reach areas.
Call (774) 418-4908 or contact us online to schedule an inspection and discuss the activity you’ve noticed.
Common signs of indoor squirrel activity include:
- Scratching or running sounds: Daytime movement in ceilings, walls, or attic spaces may point to squirrels, although sound alone can’t confirm the animal.
- Roofline damage: Gnaw marks or openings near soffits, vents, fascia, dormers, and roof edges may reveal a travel path.
- Attic disruption: Disturbed insulation, droppings, stored food, and nesting materials can remain even when the animal isn’t visible.
Why Squirrels Enter Worcester Properties
Squirrels may enter a structure in search of food, warmth, or shelter from predators. A home can also provide a protected place to store food for winter.
Nesting needs can also affect activity during spring, while cold conditions or storm-related damage may make a structure easier to access at other times. Squirrels can use branches to reach the roof, then investigate gaps where soffits, vents, dormers, fascia, and other building materials meet. Repeated use may enlarge a weak opening and contribute to additional damage.
Licensed Squirrel Control with Respect for Your Property
Our wildlife staff have focused training and current Problem Animal Control licenses, which are Massachusetts credentials for handling conflicts involving nuisance wildlife. We consider squirrel behavior, likely travel paths, visible damage, nesting activity, and possible roofline entry points when reviewing a property.
Our QualityPro and BBB accreditations reflect established professional standards and accountability. Ford's Hometown Services was also voted the number one pest control company in Central Massachusetts in a 2024 readers’ choice contest.
Our service approach includes:
- Clear communication: We inspect the situation, explain what we find, and outline practical removal and prevention options.
- Careful property practices: Our four-step FHS Cleanliness Promise addresses work areas, equipment, parking, and cleanup.
- Service protection: Most services include a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Report new activity after service so we can review the original plan.
- Coordinated property care: We provide wildlife removal, pest control, tick and mosquito protection, and lawn care through one company.
Squirrel Prevention and the Right Time to Call
Start by securing garbage cans and avoiding intentional feeding that can draw squirrels toward the property. Massachusetts guidance recommends trimming trees and branches within 6 to 8 feet of a building to reduce roof access. Roof or attic work can involve fall, bite, and contamination risks, so consider the location and condition of the area before attempting repairs.
Don’t seal an opening while a squirrel or dependent young may still be inside. A trapped animal may damage the structure while attempting to escape, and squirrels caught in walls or fireplace areas can create odor and insect concerns if they die. Massachusetts wildlife rules also prohibit poison for eliminating wildlife and restrict transporting animals for release elsewhere.
Professional squirrel removal is appropriate when you hear repeated movement, find droppings or nesting materials, see chewed wiring or insulation, or can’t safely inspect a suspected entry point. We can review likely access areas and discuss measures intended to reduce repeat entry after the wildlife concern has been addressed.
