Squirrels in Spokane homes
Spokane's hot summers and cold winters push mice, ants and wildlife toward homes as the seasons change. Squirrels chew. Once they get into an attic, they chew wood, insulation and sometimes electrical wiring to build nests and keep their teeth worn down. Most attic squirrel problems start with a single small gap at the roof line. A wildlife removal provider can remove the squirrels and seal the gaps so they don't come back.
Signs of squirrels
- Scampering, scratching or rolling sounds in the attic, often early morning and late afternoon
- Chewed holes in soffits, fascia, roof edges or vent covers
- Nesting material such as leaves and shredded insulation in the attic
- Small droppings near nesting areas
- Squirrels going in and out of the same spot on the roof
Call a Spokane pro if:
- You hear scratching or running in the attic during the day
- You see a chewed hole near the roof line
- You've seen squirrels going in and out of your roof
- You notice a bad smell in the attic or walls
Why it's worth getting help
- Squirrels can chew through electrical wiring, which is a fire risk.
- Gray squirrels often have two litters a year, in spring and late summer. Sealing a hole with babies inside traps them and causes odor problems.
- Nests and droppings ruin insulation and can attract other pests.
What a local provider does
- Find every chewed gap and entry point along the roof line
- Remove squirrels with one-way doors or traps as local rules allow
- Check for and remove any young before sealing
- Seal entry points with chew-resistant materials

Questions people ask
Who do I call for squirrels in Spokane?
A licensed wildlife removal company that serves Spokane County. Call the number on this page to be connected with an independent provider near your address.
How do I know if it's squirrels or rats in the attic?
Squirrels are mostly active during the day, especially morning and late afternoon. Noises at night are more often rats, mice or flying squirrels.
Can I just block the hole?
Not until you're sure the attic is empty. A trapped squirrel will chew a new hole or die inside, which causes a strong odor.
