Protect Your Home with Trusted Wildlife Damage Control

Are squirrels taking over your attic, roofline, or gutters in Wake County, Durham County, Johnston County, or surrounding areas? At Invicta Environmental Pest Defense, we know how stressful and damaging these woodland critters can be — especially when they cross the line from backyard visitors to property invaders.

We combine family-focused care, environmental expertise, and professional wildlife strategies to safeguard your home and the surrounding ecosystem. All work is performed by licensed Wildlife Damage Control Agents using the best practices developed with guidance from our on-staff:

🔹 Wildlife Biologist – interpreting squirrel behavior and optimal exclusion design
🔹 Environmental Scientist – ensuring ecological balance and property safety
🔹 Board Certified Entomologist – addressing secondary pest issues often tied to squirrel infestations. This ensures every service is effective, scientifically informed, and environmentally responsible.

Local Squirrel Facts — Wake, Durham & Johnston Counties

Tree squirrels — especially the eastern gray squirrel — are common throughout North Carolina and thrive in both wild and urban settings. They are even designated as the state mammal of North Carolina due to their abundance and ecological presence. 

1. Gray squirrels have been abundant in this region for over a century, historically noted for their frequent presence in hardwood forests and more recently in suburban neighborhoods from Raleigh to Durham and beyond. 
2. Urban expansion around Wake, Durham, and Johnston Counties has increased squirrel-human interactions, with squirrels readily adapting to yards, attics, and roof spaces when food and shelter are available. 

While squirrels are not as notable rabies vectors as raccoons, they can carry parasites and pathogens (including those transmissible to people and pets), especially when infesting homes and attics where contact is more likely.

How Squirrels Damage Homes — 3 Key Facts

Squirrels may look harmless, but once they enter your property they can cause serious, costly problems:

1. Roof & Gutter Destruction

Squirrels can chew through roofing materials, soffits, fascia, and gutters to make entry points into attics or wall voids. Their strong teeth never stop growing, so they gnaw continually — widening gaps and weakening structures. 

2. Fecal Buildup & Contamination

Once squirrels nest in attics or crawlspaces, their urine and droppings accumulate, contaminating insulation and introducing odors. Over time, this wastes insulation effectiveness and can lead to sanitation concerns. 

3. Secondary Pest Infestations

Squirrel infestations often bring fleas, ticks, and other ectoparasites into your home environment, which can then spread to pets or human family members. These pests can multiply rapidly, creating new problems long after the squirrels are gone.
