Squirrel Removal in Melissa, Texas — Local Context

Ground squirrel burrow damage to foundations, irrigation systems, and landscaping is a widespread concern throughout Arizona and New Mexico, where rock squirrels and round-tailed ground squirrels are the dominant problem species.

All wildlife removal in Texas is regulated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Our Melissa contractor is fully licensed under the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and uses only permitted, humane removal methods.

Frequently Asked Questions — Squirrel Removal in Melissa

How much does squirrel removal cost in Melissa, Texas? +
Squirrel removal in Texas typically costs $200–$500+ for trapping. Full exclusion — sealing every entry point with chew-proof materials — adds $300–$900+ depending on your Melissa home's size and the number of access points. Attic insulation replacement due to squirrel damage can add $1,000–$3,000+.
Why are squirrels in my attic dangerous in Melissa? +
Squirrels in Melissa attics constantly chew to keep their teeth trimmed — targeting electrical wiring, wood framing, and HVAC ducting. Chewed wiring is a leading cause of house fires across Texas. If you hear scratching in your walls or attic, do not wait — the damage compounds daily.
How do squirrels get into homes in Texas? +
The most common entry points in Texas homes are gaps at the roofline — loose soffit panels, damaged fascia boards, gaps where the roof meets a wall, and unscreened attic vents. Squirrels can chew through wood, plastic, and thin aluminum in minutes. Steel mesh and galvanized flashing are the only materials that hold long-term.
Do I have gray squirrels or flying squirrels in my Melissa home? +
Gray squirrels are active during the day — you'll hear scratching in the morning and late afternoon. Flying squirrels are nocturnal, smaller, and go undetected for months. Flying squirrel colonies in Texas homes can number 20 or more animals. If the noise only happens at night, flying squirrels are the likely culprit and require a different removal approach.
What time of year are squirrel intrusions worst in Texas? +
Squirrels have two peak intrusion seasons in Texas. The first is fall — September through November — when squirrels aggressively seek winter shelter and cache food. The second is early spring — February through April — when females establish attic nesting sites for their first litter. Melissa residents hear the most squirrel activity at dawn and dusk during both seasons.
