Squirrels Control
in Lakewood.
Professional squirrels treatment across Lakewood. Attic and soffit invaders that chew through fascia, framing, and electrical.
Squirrels are a recurring concern across the Denver metro, and Lakewood is no exception. Lakewood's western edge meets the foothills, creating heavy wildlife pressure — bears, deer, raccoons, and squirrels all use the urban-wildland interface. Bear Creek and Sloan's Lake provide additional water and habitat corridors. Mid-city portions are flatter and more typical Denver-metro tract housing. Squirrels love attics, soffit corners, chimney voids, and fascia edges — anywhere they can chew through to a warm protected nesting space. They especially target homes near mature oak, walnut, or pine trees.
Front Range neighborhoods with mature trees experience persistent fox and gray squirrel pressure on roofs and attics. Homes with cedar fascia or aging vinyl trim are most vulnerable to chew-in damage. In Lakewood specifically, foothill proximity drives heavy rodent, squirrel, and wildlife pressure especially in green mountain and bear creek areas. mature trees mean carpenter ant satellite nests are common. older housing stock with original wood windows is highly vulnerable to box elder bug, stink bug, and silverfish overwintering. compounds the picture — meaning Lakewood homes face squirrels pressure that's distinct from the metro average.
EPC has run squirrels jobs across every corner of Lakewood. Lakewood housing is heavy on 1950s–70s ranches and split-levels. Older construction means rubble foundations, original wood windows, and dated weatherstripping — all rodent and overwintering-pest entry points. Newer west-side neighborhoods have tighter envelopes but face heavier wildlife and carpenter ant pressure due to foothill proximity. Our approach is attic and soffit invaders that chew through fascia, framing, and electrical.
How EPC Treats Squirrels in Lakewood
Trapping or One-Way Exit
Live trapping or one-way valve installation at the active entry point. Trapped squirrels are released or removed per Colorado wildlife regulations. Timing matters — never exclude during active denning season without confirming all young are out.
Entry Repair + Hardware Cloth Reinforcement
Once squirrels are out, the entry hole is reinforced with metal flashing or 1/2-inch hardware cloth and sealed. Standard wood patches don't last — squirrels chew right through them.
Tree Branch Trimming Recommendations
Squirrels reach roofs from overhanging branches. Tech identifies branches that need trimming back at least 6 feet from the house.
Attic Cleanup + Insulation Repair
Squirrel waste, nest material, and damaged insulation removed; sanitization applied. Replacement insulation installed where soiling is heavy.
