Squirrel Control

Squirrel Removal Granbury

Quiet The Scratching In Your Attic

If you are hearing scratching, thumping, or scampering above your ceiling during the day, there is a good chance squirrels have moved into your attic. What seems like a small nuisance can turn into chewed wires, damaged insulation, and unpleasant odors if it is not addressed.

At Wise/Chem Safe Pest Control, we help local property owners deal with squirrel problems in a calm, straightforward way. We have been protecting homes and businesses in this area since 1980, so our team has seen how quickly a few squirrels can turn into a bigger issue inside North Texas structures.

Signs You May Have Squirrels

It can be hard to know whether you are dealing with squirrels or another type of rodent. Squirrels are often active during the day, so you may hear quick bursts of running, rolling sounds from nuts or debris, or scratching close to sunrise and sunset. The noises tend to come from higher areas, such as the attic or roofline.

You might notice small openings along soffits, roof returns, or near where utility lines meet the house. Fresh gnaw marks around these gaps, or disturbed shingles near the edge of the roof, can be signs that squirrels are using those spots to come and go. Inside, chewed insulation near eaves, droppings, or shredded nesting material can also indicate activity.

Homes near Lake Granbury and wooded areas often see squirrels using overhanging tree branches or fence lines as bridges to the roof. Rural properties around Hood County and nearby counties may see squirrels exploring barns, sheds, or older attics that already have small gaps in the structure.

Ignoring these signs can lead to increased damage over time. Squirrels may chew on wiring, which can create fire risk, and they can compress or pull apart insulation, which affects energy efficiency. If you have noticed any of these clues, it is a good time to have our team take a closer look and explain what is happening.

Squirrels & North Texas Homes

Living in North Texas means dealing with wildlife that stays active through much of the year. Hot, humid summers and relatively mild winters give squirrels plenty of time to explore rooftops, eaves, and attic vents. When weather changes or food sources shift, it is common for these animals to look for quiet, elevated spaces where they can nest.

Heavy rains can drive squirrels to seek drier areas higher in a structure, while long dry stretches may push them to explore around air conditioning lines or shaded roof sections. Houses built along Lake Granbury, with mature trees and complex rooflines, can be especially attractive routes for squirrels that like to travel from branch to roof and then into small gaps.

Since 1980, we have worked on properties across Hood County, as well as Somervell, Parker, Erath, Tarrant, and Wise Counties. That regional experience gives us a clear sense of the patterns we tend to see as seasons change. For example, we often hear from residents after a series of storms or when construction in a nearby lot disturbs wildlife.

Because we understand how local buildings are designed and how weather affects wildlife in this area, we can make practical suggestions to reduce future squirrel problems. This might include trimming certain branches away from the roof, repairing specific gaps, or addressing conditions around sheds and outbuildings that are giving squirrels easy access.

Our Squirrel Removal Process

When you contact our office, our goal is to make the next steps feel simple. During business hours, our staff talks with you about what you are hearing or seeing and schedules a visit that works with your routine. Because we are based in this area, we can often respond quickly when squirrel activity feels urgent or disruptive.

During your appointment, one of our technicians arrives at the scheduled time and walks the property with you. We typically inspect the attic, roofline, and exterior openings that squirrels may be using. While in your home, we take care around stored items and insulation, and we are mindful of pets and children who may be nearby.

After we have a clear picture of where squirrels are traveling and nesting, we discuss what we found and answer your questions. We walk you through recommended steps to address the activity, which can include a combination of trapping, exclusion work, and adjustments around the yard that make your structure less inviting. When appropriate, we can talk about green and eco-friendly options that align with your preferences.

Our technicians take time to point out specific entry points or damage so you can see the problem for yourself. We then outline a treatment plan that fits your property and talk through scheduling, access needs, and what you can expect during follow-up visits. Service is completed as efficiently as possible, so we limit disruption while still giving you detailed, thoughtful care.

If you are ready to speak with our team about squirrel removal in Granbury, homeowners can count on, you can call any weekday during office hours to get started.
