Squirrel Control Solutions by
Wildlife Shield
Guaranteed Service
Squirrels are a frequent cause of attic and roofline damage in Markham homes, particularly in areas with mature trees, ravines, and ongoing residential development. Once inside a structure, squirrels can damage insulation, wiring, and wood framing while contamination in attic spaces.
Our squirrel removal service in Markham focuses on humane removal, structural exclusion, and long-term prevention, not temporary solutions that allow squirrels to return. We don’t trap squirrels, we do not poison them.
Common Squirrel Problems in Markham Homes
Squirrels enter the attic by chewing through roof vents, fascia gaps, or squeezing through soffit corners, or damaged shingles. Once inside the attic they nest and can cause damage by suppressing or soiling insulation insulation, chewing electrical wiring, and structural wood. In Markham, we frequently see squirrel activity increase during late winter and early spring, when females seek safe nesting areas to give birth. Homeowners often first notice scratching noises in the attic, especially in the early morning hours. Call: 647-496-5755

How Our Squirrel Removal Process Works
Our squirrel removal process is designed to remove the animals safely while ensuring they cannot return.
Inspection
We always start with a thorough exterior roof inspection to identify entry points, nesting areas, and signs of ongoing activity. This includes rooflines, soffits, vents, and adjacent tree access.
Removal
Squirrels are removed using one way doors. These doors let the animals leave but they don’t let them get back in. This is humane, safe for the animals and a very effective wildlife removal method.
Exclusion
Once the squirrels are out, we permanently seal entry points using professional-grade materials. This step is critical — without proper exclusion, squirrels will return, or new animals will move in.
MARKHAM Homes We Commonly Service
Squirrel activity varies significantly depending on construction style, roof design, and surrounding environment. In Markham, we regularly provide squirrel removal services for a wide range of residential property types.
These include:
Detached and semi-detached homes, particularly those with older soffits or aging rooflines
Bungalows and raised bungalows, where attic access points are often closer to tree canopies
Two-storey and multi-level homes with complex roof intersections and dormers
Townhomes and row housing, where shared rooflines can allow squirrels to move between structures
Each home type presents different access challenges, which is why inspections must be tailored to the structure rather than treated as a standard visit. Squirrel activity varies across Markham depending on housing age, tree cover, and proximity to green space. We regularly encounter squirrel issues in established neighbourhoods such as Unionville and Markham Village, as well as newer developments in areas like Cornell, Wismer Commons, and Berczy Village, where roofline complexity and nearby construction can encourage squirrel activity.
Structures and Areas Where Squirrels Commonly Enter
We commonly service:
Attics and roof cavities
Soffit corners and fascia junctions
Roof vents and plumbing stacks
Garage attics and attached structures
Additions, sunrooms, and roof extensions
Squirrels are persistent and will exploit even small construction gaps. Effective removal and exclusion require familiarity with how these structures are built and how animals adapt to them.
