Westport's coastal location with humid continental climate moderated by the coast and mild winters creates steady pest pressure. Spring termite swarms emerge from soil around older homes in Westport Point and Head of Westport while summer brings mosquito and wasp activity near Horseneck Beach and the Westport Rivers Winery vineyards.
Below is what Westport customers get when they book squirrel removal with us — local dispatch, and the exact process we use across Massachusetts.
Squirrels enter Beacon Hill brownstones and South End row houses through small gaps around chimneys, rooflines and utility entries, especially during the humid continental winters when they seek warmth. We use one-way exclusion doors sized for eastern gray squirrels and install 1/4-inch hardware cloth over openings after eviction to prevent re-entry, which is critical near the Freedom Trail and Boston Common where tree cover is dense.
Attic insulation becomes saturated with urine and nesting material in properties from Charlestown to Jamaica Plain, creating odor and potential mold issues in older lath-and-plaster construction. Our crews remove contaminated material, treat surfaces with enzyme cleaners, and reinstall insulation only after confirming no active animals remain, avoiding the common mistake of sealing squirrels inside.
