Squirrel Activity
Squirrel Removal in Colorado Springs
Roofline movement, attic noises, nesting material, exterior sightings, and accessible entry conditions help define whether the request fits the available service scope.
Report the location and timing of activity before changing an opening. Knowing where on the roofline you see activity is useful.
Squirrel-related work is confirmed only after the species, location, access, address, and available operating scope are reviewed.
- Attic, roofline, soffit, or exterior signs
- Time of day and travel direction
- Height, ladder, roof, and access conditions

How to Tell Squirrels Are Getting Into Your Home
Fox squirrels and tree squirrels are common in Colorado Springs, and the foothill areas also see rock squirrels. Most home problems start when a squirrel finds a way into an attic or soffit.
Fox squirrels are reddish brown with a bushy tail. Rock squirrels are larger and gray brown with a speckled back.
Scratching and running sounds in the ceiling in the morning and late afternoon, chewed soffits or vents, and nesting material at an opening.
Activity often increases in late winter and again in late summer when squirrels look for nesting sites.
Gaps where roof lines meet, loose soffits and fascia, roof and gable vents, and chewed openings near tree branches.
What You Can Do Now

- 3
Trim branches that touch or overhang the roof where you safely can.
- 4
Do not seal an opening while a squirrel may still be inside.

Squirrels in Colorado Springs
Squirrel Problems We See Around Colorado Springs
Fox squirrels are the common squirrel in town. In pine areas like Black Forest, Monument and Woodland Park, Abert's squirrels with tufted ears are also common.
Squirrels get into attics through gaps at roof lines, soffits, gable vents and where trees touch the house. Late winter and spring are when females look for a place to have young, so attic activity often starts then.
Noise in the attic during the day, chewed fascia or vent covers and nesting material in gutters are common signs. Squirrels can chew wiring, so attic activity should not be left alone.
Answers Before Service
Squirrel Service Questions
Review the common questions below, then call if your property or activity requires a different scope.
What should I tell you when I call?
Send the full roofline or exterior elevation, the suspected opening, nearby travel routes, and any accessible interior signs.
Should I seal the opening now?
Do not seal a suspected active wildlife opening before the activity is reviewed. Sealing at the wrong time can create additional problems.
Is every squirrel request within scope?
No. Availability depends on species, location, access, property conditions, local requirements, and the services currently offered.
How is pricing determined?
A phone review is free. Quotes are free by phone or text.
How do I know it is squirrels and not mice or raccoons?
Squirrels are active in the daytime, especially mornings and late afternoon. Mice are quieter and active at night, and raccoons are heavier and noisier at night.
Can squirrels damage wiring?
Yes. Squirrels chew to keep their teeth worn down and can damage wiring, insulation and vent covers in attics.
Why do squirrels keep coming back to the same spot?
Scent and an existing opening make it easy to return. Repairing entry points after the animals are out is what stops repeat visits.
Will squirrels leave on their own?
Sometimes, but a nest with young keeps them in place for weeks, and the damage continues meanwhile.
Can you come out the same day for squirrels?
When the schedule allows, yes. Call early in the day and tell us where you hear or see them.
When are squirrels most active in attics?
Squirrels are active during the day, especially early morning and late afternoon. Late winter and spring are common times for nesting in attics.
Do squirrels damage roofs and vents?
Yes. They chew soffits, fascia, roof vents and vent screens to get in and enlarge openings.
Can trimming trees keep squirrels off my roof?
It helps. Branches touching or hanging over the roof give squirrels an easy route. Keeping limbs trimmed back reduces access.
