Squirrel Control in Little Rock
Preventing Costly Structural and Insulation Damage
In Little Rock, squirrels are a common sight in our parks and backyards, but when they decide to move into your home, they transform from cute woodland creatures into destructive pests. The scratching and scurrying sounds above your ceiling are often the first sign of an invasion, but the real damage is happening out of sight. Squirrels are notorious for gnawing on electrical wiring, tearing up insulation for nesting material, and chewing through wooden support beams. This behavior not only creates expensive repair bills but also poses a serious fire hazard to your property.
At McCauley Services, we specialize in turning your home back into a squirrel-free zone. With nearly 40 years of experience in wildlife control across Arkansas, our team understands how to handle these agile and persistent intruders. We don't just trap the animals; we identify how they got in and seal those entry points to ensure they stay out. As a QualityPro certified company, we are committed to humane, effective solutions that protect both the wildlife and your family’s investment.

Recognizing a Squirrel Infestation
Squirrels are active during the day, which helps distinguish them from nocturnal pests like rats or raccoons. However, because they often nest in attics or wall voids, you might hear them more than you see them inside. Recognizing the early warning signs can save you from extensive damage.
- Noise: The most common sign is the sound of heavy scurrying, jumping, or scratching in the attic or walls, particularly in the morning and evening hours.
- Entry Holes: Look for chewed openings in fascia boards, soffits, eaves, or roof vents. Squirrels will gnaw on these areas to widen small gaps for entry.
- Nesting Material: If you inspect your attic, you may find piles of shredded insulation, cardboard, leaves, or twigs that have been gathered to build a nest.
- Chewed Wires: Exposed or damaged electrical wires in the attic are a dangerous sign of rodent activity.
- Droppings: Squirrel droppings are similar to rat droppings but are often found in clusters near the entry point or nesting area.
If you notice any of these signs, it is crucial to act quickly. Squirrels breed rapidly, and a small family can quickly cause significant destruction to your home's infrastructure.
Our Approach to Wildlife Exclusion
At McCauley Services, we believe in a comprehensive approach to wildlife control. Simply catching a squirrel in a cage doesn't solve the problem if the hole they used to enter is left open. Our process focuses on removal, exclusion, and prevention.
- Thorough Inspection: We start by inspecting your entire roofline, attic, and exterior to locate every potential entry point and nesting site.
- Humane Removal: We use safe, effective trapping methods or one-way doors that allow squirrels to leave your home to forage but prevent them from re-entering.
- Exclusion Services: This is the most critical step. We seal the entry points with durable, chew-resistant materials like steel mesh and metal flashing to permanently lock pests out.
- Sanitation and Repair: Once the animals are gone, we can advise on cleaning up the mess they left behind, including sanitizing the area to remove scent trails that might attract future pests.
Our technicians are highly trained—undergoing nearly four times the state-required education—to handle wildlife situations with safety and professionalism, ensuring your home is secure for the long term.
