Squirrel Control in Macon, GA
Serving Macon Since 1969: Full-Service Squirrel Removal for Homes & Businesses
Squirrels are among the most persistent wildlife pests in Macon-area homes. Mature trees, wooded lots, and the natural corridors along the Ocmulgee River give Bibb County squirrels easy access to rooflines year-round. Once inside an attic or wall void, they don’t leave on their own. Astro Exterminating Services has been solving that problem for Georgia homeowners since 1969, and squirrel control in Macon is part of the same wildlife cluster we handle for raccoons, possums, and general animal removal.
Our technicians bring over five decades of hands-on regional experience to every inspection. We know local building styles, seasonal squirrel activity patterns, and the conditions specific to Macon properties. Same-day service is available in many cases, and we offer free pest and termite inspections to get you started with no obligation.

How We Approach Squirrel Control in Macon
Our process follows Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles, a science-based framework that addresses the root conditions driving wildlife activity rather than responding only to the animals currently present. IPM prioritizes inspection, monitoring, exclusion, and sanitation guidance before reaching for any chemical treatment.
Every job starts with a thorough on-site inspection. Our technicians locate active and potential entry points, identify nesting evidence, and assess the conditions attracting squirrels to the structure. From that baseline, we build a plan specific to your property.
Our squirrel control services include:
- Wildlife inspection: Detailed assessment of entry points, nesting areas, and contributing conditions
- Humane trapping: Removal methods that meet Georgia’s wildlife licensing requirements
- Squirrel exclusion: Sealing current and potential entry points with materials squirrels can’t chew through
- Sanitation guidance: Recommendations to reduce attractants and discourage return visits
- Eco-friendly treatments: Environmentally responsible products designed for use around families and pets, used only where warranted
Service plans are flexible. One-time treatments are available for contained concerns. If your property sits near wooded land or has had repeated wildlife pressure, recurring plans on a monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly schedule allow ongoing monitoring and early detection.
Why Macon Residents Have Trusted Us Since 1969
Astro Exterminating Services is a family-owned company, and that means something specific here: customers across Macon and the surrounding area have relied on us across multiple generations. We’re not a wildlife-only provider that handles squirrels as a sideline. We’re a full-service pest control company with the depth to address squirrel removal alongside any other pest concern on your property, all from one locally rooted team.
Our technicians understand Macon construction. They know where squirrels typically enter older homes through deteriorating soffits and where they exploit newer construction around ridge vents and utility penetrations. That local knowledge shortens the inspection, improves the plan, and helps reduce the chance of a missed entry point. Whether you need a single visit or ongoing coverage, we’ll work with your schedule and budget to find the right fit.

Signs of Squirrels in Your Macon Home
Squirrels are active during the day, with peaks around dawn and dusk. That timing sets them apart from raccoons or rats, which tend to be loudest at night. If you’re hearing light, rapid scurrying or scratching in your attic or walls during daylight hours, squirrels are a likely candidate.
Exterior damage is often visible before interior signs appear. Look for chewed or gnawed wood along roofline fascia, soffits, or vent covers that appear bent or pushed inward. Overhanging tree branches are a primary access route in Macon neighborhoods; squirrels use them to reach rooflines and then work through gaps around deteriorated wood or ridge vents.
Common interior signs of squirrel activity:
- Water stains on ceilings or walls from displaced or compressed insulation
- Droppings in attic spaces or along joists
- Nesting material gathered in attic corners, typically leaves, insulation fibers, or chewed debris
- Gnaw marks on wooden structural members or visible wiring
Flying squirrels are also present in the Macon area and are nocturnal, so daytime quiet doesn’t rule out a squirrel problem. Several wildlife species produce similar sounds inside a structure. A professional inspection is the reliable way to confirm what’s present and where they’re getting in.

Long-Term Squirrel Prevention for Macon Properties
Removing the squirrels present today doesn’t prevent new ones from finding the same entry points tomorrow. Our IPM approach addresses the conditions that attract squirrels to a property, not just the animals currently inside. After addressing an active issue, our technicians identify vulnerable areas and conditions that invite repeat activity.
Exclusion & Property Modifications
Exclusion work focuses on sealing gaps around roofline vents, soffits, fascia boards, and utility penetrations with materials squirrels can’t chew through. We also provide guidance on trimming tree branches that overhang the roofline, which removes a common access route, and on securing outdoor food sources that repeatedly draw wildlife to a property.
Ongoing Service Plans
For homes near wooded areas or properties with recurring wildlife pressure, an ongoing service plan makes practical sense. Quarterly, bi-monthly, and monthly options let our team monitor for new activity and catch entry point deterioration before it becomes another problem. One-time services remain available for customers with a specific, contained concern.
