PROFESSIONAL SQUIRREL REMOVAL IN AUBURN HILLS

1. How do squirrels get into homes in Auburn Hills?

• Squirrels in Auburn Hills typically gain access to homes through vulnerable structural points such as roofline gaps, unscreened attic vents, chimneys, and damaged soffits or fascia boards. These entryways are especially common in older homes near areas like Bloomfield Orchards or along Joslyn Road, where aging construction may not be equipped with modern wildlife-proofing. Once inside, squirrels often build nests using attic insulation, leaves, or stored items. A professional inspection is key to identifying and sealing all access points to prevent future intrusions.

2. Do squirrels return after being removed?

• Yes, squirrels are highly territorial and persistent animals that often return to previously inhabited areas—especially if their original entry points are left unsealed, or if scent trails (pheromones) remain. In some cases, if they’re relocated too close to their original nesting area, they may simply find a new way back in. At Michigan’s Bat Expert, we prevent this by performing thorough exclusion repairs and applying deodorizing treatments to eliminate attractants. We also back our work with warranties on many of our squirrel-proofing solutions for Auburn Hills homes.

3. How long does squirrel removal take in Auburn Hills?

• Squirrel removal in Auburn Hills generally takes between one to three days, depending on the size of the infestation, the presence of baby squirrels, and the number of entry points needing repair. In many cases, our team completes the process within 24–48 hours. However, during baby season in late spring, the process can take longer to safely and humanely remove both the mother and her young. At Michigan’s Bat Expert, we ensure complete and compassionate removal followed by permanent exclusion measures to protect your home long-term.

4. What time of year are squirrels most active in Auburn Hills?

• Squirrels in Auburn Hills are most active in spring (March–May) and fall (September–November).

• Spring is nesting season—squirrels seek out warm, enclosed areas to raise their young, often targeting attics or wall cavities.

• Fall brings a rush of activity as squirrels gather food and seek shelter for winter, frequently forcing their way into homes and garages.
  Regular inspections during these seasons can prevent long-term infestations.

5. Is squirrel removal legal in Auburn Hills, MI?

• Yes, but it must be done in compliance with Michigan DNR laws. It is illegal to kill or relocate squirrels without a permit in many cases.
  Michigan’s laws require humane trapping and relocation by licensed wildlife control operators. At Michigan’s Bat Expert, we follow all state regulations and use approved humane removal and exclusion practices tailored to Oakland County.

6. How much does squirrel removal cost in Auburn Hills?

Squirrel removal in Auburn Hills typically ranges between $300–$500, depending on:

• The size of the infestation
• Whether repairs or exclusion services are needed
• Accessibility of the infested area (e.g., attic, chimney)
