⚠️ Spring Breeding Season

Squirrels are raising their first litter of the year right now. Females are highly active entering and exiting nest sites. This is one of the two peak seasons for squirrel intrusion calls.

Squirrel Removal in Van, West Virginia — Local Context

Both gray and fox squirrels are common attic intruders in the Southeast, with fox squirrels more prevalent in rural and lightly developed areas. The long, warm breeding season in the South — with females producing two litters per year — means squirrel intrusions can occur almost any month, unlike the more defined winter denning season in northern states.

All wildlife removal in West Virginia is regulated by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. Our Van contractor is fully licensed under the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources and uses only permitted, humane removal methods.

Frequently Asked Questions — Squirrel Removal in Van

How much does squirrel removal cost in Van, West Virginia? +
Squirrel removal in West Virginia typically costs $200–$500+ for trapping. Full exclusion — sealing every entry point with chew-proof materials — adds $300–$900+ depending on your Van 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 Van? +
Squirrels in Van 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 West Virginia. If you hear scratching in your walls or attic, do not wait — the damage compounds daily.
How do squirrels get into homes in West Virginia? +
The most common entry points in West Virginia 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 Van 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 West Virginia 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 West Virginia? +
Squirrels have two peak intrusion seasons in West Virginia. 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. Van residents hear the most squirrel activity at dawn and dusk during both seasons.
