Squirrel Removal in Brooklyn
Licensed & Insured · Same-Day Service · Guaranteed Results
Eastern gray squirrels are a familiar sight in Brooklyn's parks and tree-lined streets — but when they enter your home, they become a serious problem. Brooklyn's dense tree canopy, with large oaks and maples in neighborhoods like Prospect Heights and Bay Ridge, gives squirrels direct roof access. They exploit roofline gaps, damaged fascia boards, and open soffits to establish nesting sites in attics. Once inside, squirrels chew electrical wiring — creating a genuine fire hazard — gnaw through wood and insulation, and make persistent loud activity that disrupts sleep.
Squirrel nesting in Brooklyn homes tends to peak in late winter through early spring when females seek protected locations to give birth, and again in fall as cooler temperatures drive them to seek warm shelter. The problem compounds when young squirrels are born inside — removing adults without addressing the litter results in animals becoming trapped and dying in wall voids.
Jet Pest Control handles squirrel removal in Brooklyn with a complete exclusion approach: live trap removal of all animals, sealing of every entry point with professional-grade materials, and a prevention consultation so you understand what to monitor going forward. We confirm all animals are out before sealing, and we repair the damage left behind.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do squirrels get into Brooklyn homes?
Squirrels enter through gaps in fascia boards, broken soffits, roof vents without screens, open ridge gaps, and areas where rooflines meet adjacent structures. Brooklyn's attached housing means squirrels can travel rooflines and find entry points invisible from ground level.
Can squirrels in my attic cause a fire?
Yes. Squirrels constantly gnaw to keep their teeth trimmed, and electrical wiring is a common target. Chewed wire insulation is a direct fire hazard. Early removal and immediate entry sealing prevents this risk.
What if there are baby squirrels in my Brooklyn attic?
We handle young squirrel situations carefully — removing the mother first, then retrieving the litter, and sealing entry points only after confirming all animals are out. Leaving young squirrels behind leads to them dying in the walls, creating odor and secondary pest problems.
Will squirrels come back after removal?
Not through the same entry points once we have sealed them with metal flashing and wire mesh. We also assess and recommend protection for secondary vulnerable areas so new entry attempts are blocked before they succeed.
