The Woodlands, TX Squirrel Removal

from The Critter Team Wildlife Removal Podcast Hosted by Mike Garrett

Having trouble with squirrels in your attic? Contact The Critter Team and get the best squirrel removal services in The Woodlands, TX. A squirrel chewing its way into a home is not just a noise problem. Once inside, squirrels gnaw on electrical wiring, tear apart insulation for nesting material, and leave urine and droppings across ductwork and stored belongings. The damage compounds quickly because squirrels do not stop chewing, and the fire risk from exposed wiring is real. The Woodlands sits inside one of the densest tree canopies in Montgomery County, and the community's oak and pine corridors put squirrel populations within arm's reach of every roofline in the area. Fox squirrels and eastern gray squirrels are the species most commonly found inside homes here. Squirrels enter through soft roof connections where the soffit meets a roof transition, through chewed-out roof vents, and through construction gaps around dormers and gable returns. Homes in the older villages like Grogan's Mill and Panther Creek are especially vulnerable because decades of settling and weathering open gaps that newer construction has not yet developed. A squirrel only needs a gap about the size of a baseball to get in, and once inside, it will widen the opening over time. Scratching and scurrying noises in the attic during early morning hours are the most common first sign, followed by chewed wood or insulation visible near the roofline. The Critter Team's squirrel removal starts with a full exterior and interior inspection. Mike Garrett, the company's owner and a veteran, examines the roof from the foundation up, checking every soffit connection, vent, and transition point for chew marks, grease trails, and gaps. The company traps squirrels using professional-grade cage traps placed at or near active entry points, then seals every opening with 23-gauge aluminum fabricated on-site with a metal brake and painted to match the home's trim so the finished work blends in. Damaged insulation, soiled ductwork, and chewed wiring are repaired as part of the same job scope. Every technician on the team is a Ridge Guard certified installer and Advanced Metal Fabrication certified technician, and has completed the NWCOA Wildlife Control Operator Training Course. The Critter Team is licensed for nuisance wildlife removal in Texas, holds the 2025 Wildlife Removal Directory Excellence Award, is insured with $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate liability plus workers' compensation, and performs all work in-house with company employees.
