Typical​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Signs of Vole Activity

Voles are animals that clearly mark their territories in Calgary yards, mostly under the snow or in dense grass. Identify their different narrow and winding runways (2-5 cm wide) on the surface that are often covered with the remains of the trimmings. Small, round access holes (3-4 cm) lead to shallow tunnels. Bark that has been gnawed at the bottom of trees and shrubs (mainly fruit trees and roses) produce scars caused by girdling. The time of spring will find you sudden plant death, ripped bulbs, and vegetable gardens with potatoes being damaged. Vole droppings are small, green-brown, and rice-shaped. Voles, unlike moles, do not create elevated mounds-their damage remains flat and sneaky.

Frequently Asked Questions

We safely remove squirrels by using one-way doors and exclusion methods that let them leave but prevent them from getting back inside. Once they’re out, we seal entry points to keep your home protected for the long term. If needed, we can also apply deterrents in high-activity areas. This approach not only gets rid of the squirrels but also prevents costly damage to your attic, soffits, and wiring.

Once the squirrels are removed, we seal entry points to stop them from getting back inside. This ensures a permanent solution, not just a temporary fix. Without sealing, new squirrels can easily move in, but with our exclusion work your home stays protected year-round.

Squirrels are excellent climbers and can squeeze through surprisingly small gaps. They often enter through roof vents, soffits, chimneys, and openings along the roofline. Once inside, they quickly start nesting in attics and chewing on wiring or insulation, which can lead to costly repairs. Our service doesn’t just remove the squirrels—we also seal those entry points to keep them out for good and protect your home from future damage.

Our technician will inspect your property, identify any pest problems, and implement a tailored treatment plan. We'll also provide recommendations for preventing future infestations.
