Skittering in the attic? Chewed soffit? We evict squirrels safely, rescue babies, and seal every entry properly. If something comes back during your warranty period, so do we, no extra charge. Licensed, insured, same day service across 22 Ontario cities.
XtermaPro Pest Control is a Ministry of Environment licensed wildlife and pest company founded in 2015 by Aamir, a certified pest and wildlife technician. Our squirrel removal crews operate across Toronto, the GTA, Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, and 20 surrounding Ontario cities with same day dispatch. Every eviction is performed humanely, in full compliance with the Ontario Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. If squirrels return during your service warranty, we come back at no extra charge.
Fast running, light scampering sounds above the ceiling, especially early morning and late afternoon, are classic squirrel activity times.
A round two to three inch hole, fresh wood chips on the ground below, or gnaw marks on vents point directly to squirrels.
Squirrels chew electrical wires constantly and are a leading cause of attic fires in Ontario homes.
Squirrels build drey nests of leaves in attics and near entry points. Check gutters and the base of exterior walls.
Squirrel droppings are dark, oblong, and about half an inch long. Clusters in the attic or insulation confirm activity.
High pitched chirps or squeaks from the ceiling in March to May or August to September indicate baby squirrels in the attic.
Eastern grey squirrels, black squirrels, and red squirrels are thriving across southern Ontario. Mature trees, asphalt shingle roofs, aluminum soffits, and mild winters turn attics into perfect breeding dens. Toronto neighbourhoods like High Park, Forest Hill, The Annex, Leaside, Riverdale, and Rosedale see the highest squirrel pressure thanks to dense tree canopies. In Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, Newmarket, and King City, flying squirrels and red squirrels are also common in rural and wooded lots.
A single squirrel can chew a new soffit hole in under 20 minutes and will return to the same attic every season if the opening is not sealed with steel mesh. DIY repairs with wood or expanding foam almost always fail because squirrels can chew straight through them.
No lethal traps, no relocations over one kilometre, and every baby squirrel is reunited with the mother. Fully compliant with Ontario wildlife law.
We only seal with 16 gauge galvanized steel. Squirrels cannot chew through it. Exclusion work includes warranty return visits at no charge if something breaks back through during your warranty period.

A squirrel chewed through our roof vent in High Park and moved in with her three babies. XtermaPro came the same morning, hand removed the kits, installed the one way door, and sealed every vent on the roof. No more scurrying and the warranty on the seal work gave us real peace of mind.
Red squirrels were running back and forth in the attic of our Peterborough cottage. The technician found three entry points, sealed all of them with steel mesh, and explained exactly what to do with the insulation. Clean, professional, kind.
We tried DIY with foam and plywood and the squirrels chewed right back in. XtermaPro used heavy steel mesh and we have not heard a thing since. Worth every penny.
We inspect the attic to identify the species (grey, black, red, or flying squirrel), locate all entry points and nests, check for baby squirrels, and install a one way door on the primary opening. Secondary openings are sealed with galvanized steel mesh so the squirrel can exit but not return. The process takes three to five days and is fully humane.
Squirrel removal in Toronto starts from $249. Every job is quoted individually based on entry points, attic access, and whether baby squirrels are present. Estimates are always free and every service includes a written warranty with return visits at no charge if a squirrel comes back during your warranty period.
Squirrels are most active in early morning and late afternoon, move quickly with light skittering sounds, and chew through wood, wiring, and plastic vents. Raccoons are heavier, active at dusk and dawn, and produce slow thumping or dragging sounds. Squirrel entry holes are usually two to three inches, while raccoon holes are fist sized or larger.
Yes. Baby squirrels are born in early spring and late summer in Ontario. Before installing a one way door we always locate and hand remove any kits, then place them in a warm reunion box so the mother can move them to her secondary nest. This is the only humane and legal approach.
Squirrels chew constantly to keep their teeth worn down. They target soft aluminum soffit, rotten wood, plastic roof vents, and weak gable vents to gain attic access. Grey squirrels can chew through a new hole in under 20 minutes, so once you see gnawing activity the fix is urgent.
Squirrels rarely bite unless cornered, but they cause major damage. They chew electrical wiring (a leading cause of attic fires), shred insulation for nesting, and contaminate the space with urine and droppings. They also carry fleas, ticks, and parasites into your home.
Yes. Same day inspections and one way door installations are available across Toronto, the GTA, Peterborough, and Durham. Call or text to book.
After eviction we seal the original entry and every other vulnerable point with 16 gauge galvanized steel mesh, repair damaged soffit and fascia, screen roof and gable vents, and trim tree branches within three metres of the roofline. All exclusion work comes with a written warranty, so if a squirrel breaks through during your warranty period we come back and make it right at no extra charge.
Yes. Flying squirrels are nocturnal and often colonize attics in quiet neighbourhoods across Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, King City, and forested pockets of Toronto. They require careful dusk trapping or mass one way door eviction and we are trained to handle both.
