Nova Extermination is a squirrel exterminator that captures all <strong>species of squirrels<\/strong> and relocates them far from your home, in the forest. We offer this service at a very affordable price in all <strong>cities on the South Shore<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A team of experts in squirrel capture<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our trained and certified team has many years of experience in <strong>capturing grey, black or red squirrels<\/strong> on the South Shore. We are experts in gentle squirrel capture techniques and equipped with all the necessary equipment to quickly and sustainably solve your <strong>animal nuisance<\/strong> problem. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We comply with the appropriate regulations, since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caaquebec.com\/fr\/a-la-maison\/guides\/guide-des-animaux-envahissants\/loi-et-reglementations-sur-les-animaux-indesirables\">several laws protect and require the relocation<\/a> of <strong>wild animals<\/strong> rather than their <strong>extermination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General information about the squirrel<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Squirrels are generally considered <strong>terrestrial species<\/strong>, although there are also <strong>arboreal species<\/strong> that live in trees. You can recognise tree squirrels by their <strong>bushy tails, <\/strong><strong>spindly hands<\/strong><strong> and <\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong> red or grey fur<\/strong>. They are distinguished from<strong> flying squirrels<\/strong>, which have a skin fold along their sides. This allows them to soar.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Squirrels are common in <strong>parks<\/strong> and <strong>green spaces<\/strong>, where they can usually be seen.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Squirrel Biology<\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2 breeding periods per year: January-February and June-July<\/li>\n<li>Number of squirrels per litter: 1 to 6<\/li>\n<li>Number of gestation times: 40 to 44 days<\/li>\n<li>Weaning of babies: 12 weeks<\/li>\n<li>Squirrels ready for breeding: 14 weeks<\/li>\n<li>Squirrel life expectancy: 6 years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recognizing the presence of squirrels<\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Scratching in walls or ceilings mainly at sunrise and sunset<\/li>\n<li>Noises in the chimney or ventilation hatch<\/li>\n<li>Insulating wool on your shingle<\/li>\n<li>Broken ventilation hatch or soffit<\/li>\n<li>Path in cellulose insulation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to end squirrels for good<\/h4>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/how-do-you-capture-a-squirrel\/#:~:text=Se%20procurer%20un%20pi%C3%A8ge%20pour,s'enferme%20dans%20la%20cage.\">Capture them with a cage or specialized<\/a> squirrel capture tools<\/li>\n<li>Find entry points and perform squirrel extraction work<\/li>\n<li>To avoid attracting other squirrels and removing all traces of squirrel odors, harmful spores and feces, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/decontamination\/\">decontaminate your home<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Remove bird feeders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Active presence for squirrel capture<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The grey squirrel dominates interventions in urban areas, while the red squirrel is more present in the wooded periphery. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminator-in-longueuil\/\">Longueuil and the south shore<\/a>, mature trees in Old Longueuil touch roofs and facilitate entry into attics via soffits. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminator-brossard\/\">Brossard and the surrounding area<\/a>, squirrels mainly exploit the poorly sealed soffits of bungalows in sectors A to D. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminateur-rive-sud-3\/\">squirrel capture service on the South Shore<\/a> combines live capture and sealing of entry points. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminator-boucherville\/\">Boucherville<\/a>, Old Boucherville and the Pierre-Boucher sector concentrate spring nests in the heritage frameworks. To the east, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminator-saint-jean-sur-richelieu\/\">Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and the surrounding area<\/a>, grey squirrels mainly invade the heritage buildings of Old Saint-Jean. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminator-saint-hyacinthe\/\">Saint-Hyacinthe (Maskoutains),<\/a> we frequently work in downtown buildings and farmhouses lined with mature hardwoods.     <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did you know?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These small animals have the ability to lose a piece of their tail as a means of defense and survival against a predator.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The squirrel can run up to 25 KM\/H!<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Squirrels are looking for warmth in the fall and can <strong>infiltrate through the roofs<\/strong>, chimneys, or ventilation dampers <strong>of your home<\/strong> or business, shed, or garage. They will make a cozy nest in an inaccessible place and raise their babies there. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They will chew into wood, make holes in walls and ceilings, move insulation, and chew through electrical wires to make their way through, which can create a fire hazard.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This <strong>solitary animal<\/strong> can carry<strong> diseases and parasites<\/strong>, and even the rabies virus. Their feces and urine can <strong>contaminate your home<\/strong> or business, and can be the source of health problems for your loved ones. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But how do you solve this problem? There are two solutions available to you: <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deterrence methods<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can try methods of deterrence and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/caulking\/\">caulking to prevent squirrels from prowling<\/a> around your home and entering it (protection of soffits; securing around chimneys, ventilation dampers and between roof and attic) it is possible to install wire mesh. But squirrels sneak everywhere&#8230; <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;ve tried everything, <strong>don&#8217;t try to poison them<\/strong>. In addition to being illegal, you could kill the neighbor&#8217;s dog or cat! Contact our team to <strong>capture that squirrel <\/strong>or squirrels that are bothering you.

A round entrance hole is often found around soffits, the edge of the roof or vents, sometimes with nesting materials and droppings. Unlike raccoons, their movements are lighter and more lively.  <\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"nova-faq__item\"><summary class=\"nova-faq__q\">What does it mean to capture and exclude a squirrel in the attic?<\/summary><div class=\"nova-faq__a\"><p>The objective is to get the squirrel out and prevent it from returning, often using a one-way door installed on the main entrance, once the absence of small dependents has been verified. When all the animals are outside, we seal the opening with gnawing resistant materials. This approach avoids walling up an animal and solves the cause of the intrusion.  <\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"nova-faq__item\"><summary class=\"nova-faq__q\">Is there a time when you should be careful about excluding squirrels?<\/summary><div class=\"nova-faq__a\"><p>Yes, the squirrel usually breeds in the spring and late summer, so unweaned calves may be present in the nest at these times. Excluding the mother without taking into account the young would condemn them inside, which causes odor and unnecessary suffering. Our technician checks for the presence of litters before proceeding with the exclusion in Saint-Hubert or Chambly.  <\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"nova-faq__item\"><summary class=\"nova-faq__q\">Why not just plug the hole myself?<\/summary><div class=\"nova-faq__a\"><p>If you seal access while the squirrel is inside, it will attempt to gnaw on a new exit, sometimes causing more damage, or die walled up with the resulting odor problems. In addition, a female with young would do anything to return to feed them. A professional exclusion ensures that all animals are taken out before the final sealing.  <\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"nova-faq__item\"><summary class=\"nova-faq__q\">How much does it cost to capture a squirrel in the attic on the South Shore?<\/summary><div class=\"nova-faq__a\"><p>The price is established on the basis of an evaluation, depending on the access to the roof, the number of entry points, the presence of small ones and the extent of the sealing to be carried out. A single, easily accessible hole is not comparable to several accesses on a complex roof. After inspection, you will receive an estimate adapted to your situation in Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie.  <\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"nova-faq__item\"><summary class=\"nova-faq__q\">Do you guarantee that the squirrel won&#8217;t come back to the attic?<\/summary><div class=\"nova-faq__a\"><p>We aim for a sustainable result on a case-by-case basis: a seal made with resistant materials greatly reduces the risk of the same access being reused. Since squirrels are numerous on the South Shore, it is still possible that an individual is looking for another weak point elsewhere on the building. We reinforce vulnerable areas and advise you on how to limit any further intrusions.  <\/p><\/div><\/details><\/section><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Comment savoir si un \u00e9cureuil vit dans mon grenier?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": <span>\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"L'\u00e9cureuil est actif le jour, surtout \u00e0 l'aube et au cr\u00e9puscule, et on entend des bruits rapides de course et de roulement de noix dans l'entretoit.
