Keep Squirrels Out for Good: Expert Prevention by EJ’s Pest Control

Squirrels may seem harmless at first glance—but once they enter your home, the damage begins fast. In a city like Washington, DC, with its historic houses and mature trees, squirrel prevention isn’t just smart—it’s essential.

At EJ’s Pest Control, we specialize in humane squirrel exclusion and prevention, protecting homes across DC neighborhoods like Petworth, Brookland, and Capitol Hill. Whether they’re chewing on wires or nesting in your attic, we stop squirrels in their tracks—before the real problems start.

Why You Should Prevent Squirrels Now

Squirrels can cause serious damage in surprisingly little time:

• Chew electrical wiring, creating fire hazards
• Tear up insulation and structural wood
• Contaminate attics with droppings and debris
• Disrupt sleep with scratching, thumping, or nesting sounds
• Access your home through vents, soffits, chimneys, or roof gaps

The longer squirrels stay, the more expensive the repairs. Proactive prevention is safer, cheaper, and stress-free.

How to Know If You Have a Squirrel Problem

Watch (and listen) for these signs:

• Scratching, running, or chewing sounds—especially from the attic or walls
• Messy or displaced insulation
• Chewed vents or holes along your roofline
• Visible droppings or nesting materials
• Odd pet behavior or unexplained odors indoors

Even if squirrels haven’t fully settled in, these warning signs mean it’s time to act.

Our Squirrel Prevention & Wildlife Exclusion Process

At EJ’s Pest Control, we don’t rely on traps or poisons. Instead, we use a proven 3-step exclusion method:

1. Full Property Inspection

We carefully examine your attic, roof, soffits, crawlspaces, chimney, and vents to identify active squirrel entry points and vulnerable zones.

2. Entry Point Sealing & Exclusion

Using durable, animal-proof materials, we seal every possible access area. This includes:

• Vent and chimney caps
• Eaves and soffit repairs
• One-way exit doors (so squirrels leave, but can’t return)
• Heavy-duty mesh to block re-entry

3. Sanitation & Long-Term Protection

We remove droppings and nesting debris, optionally replace damaged insulation, and apply non-toxic repellents to keep squirrels away for good.

No killing. No chemicals. Just smart, effective prevention.

Add-On Services for Complete Protection

• Chimney & vent cap installations
• Soffit sealing and repair
• Roofline & gutter guard systems
• Bird, rodent & raccoon exclusion
• Yard treatments for mosquitoes & ticks
