Squirrel Removal in Detroit: what to expect
Squirrel removal in Detroit usually means fox or gray squirrels chewing into soffits, roof vents and gable ends, then nesting in the attic. Tree-lined streets in Royal Oak, Birmingham, Dearborn and Detroit neighborhoods give squirrels easy roof access, and activity peaks in late winter and fall when they look for nest sites.
A good job uses one-way exclusion doors or trapping, checks for young, then repairs chewed openings with metal flashing or heavy mesh squirrels cannot chew back through. Squirrels can chew wiring and damage insulation, so ask for an attic check after removal. Heavily soiled or compressed insulation may need replacing; compare attic insulation contractors if the damage is widespread.
If you also hear activity at night, it may be a raccoon or bats; see raccoon removal. Compare wildlife removal pros near you.

Licensing and permits in Michigan
Companies that remove nuisance wildlife for a fee need a Wildlife Damage and Nuisance Control permit from the Michigan DNR, which publishes a list of permitted businesses. The DNR does not authorize live capture and release of raccoons or squirrels, so ask up front what happens to trapped animals.
Where hunting or trapping is allowed, the DNR lets a property owner or their designee lethally remove a squirrel that is causing damage without a hunting or trapping license. Chewed wiring should be checked by a licensed electrician, and roof or fascia repairs are usually ordinary repairs; confirm with the local building department (BSEED in Detroit) if framing is replaced.
