Watching squirrels leap through your yard or gather acorns may seem innocent enough, but when these agile rodents find a way into your attic or crawlspace, they become a serious nuisance. Inside your home, squirrels pose threats to both property and health—gnawing on electrical wires, tearing through insulation, and leaving behind contaminated nesting material. If you suspect a squirrel invasion, Critter Stop offers professional Lakeway squirrel removal services that are safe, humane, and designed to stop repeat intrusions.
We’re not just about catching squirrels—we provide a comprehensive solution that protects your home long-term and restores your peace of mind.
Lakeway’s tree-lined neighborhoods and nearby nature trails provide the perfect environment for squirrels to thrive. As the community grows and construction continues, squirrels are forced to search for alternate nesting areas. Attics, soffits, garages, and chimneys are cozy and safe substitutes for tree cavities.
Once inside, squirrels can:
✔ Chew through wires, creating fire hazards
✔ Damage insulation and reduce your home’s energy efficiency
✔ Spread fleas, mites, and ticks
✔ Create messes with urine, feces, and shredded materials
✔ Keep you up with loud scurrying or scratching noises at dawn and dusk
Ignoring early signs of squirrel activity can lead to structural damage and costly repairs. Quick action is essential.
Because squirrels are most active during the day, especially in the morning and evening, you might hear or see them before spotting actual damage. Here’s what to look for:
✔ Rapid movement or scratching in walls and ceilings
✔ Visible entry points near vents, rooflines, or chimneys
✔ Chewed electrical wires, insulation, or wood beams
✔ Oval-shaped droppings in the attic or near nesting areas
✔ Nesting material made of leaves, paper, or insulation
If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s time to reach out to a licensed Lakeway squirrel removal professional before the issue escalates.
Critter Stop is trusted by Lakeway residents for one clear reason—we do the job right the first time. From start to finish, we use humane, legal, and effective practices that ensure squirrels are safely removed and don’t come back.

At Critter Stop, we go beyond just trapping. We create a long-term plan that ensures your home stays protected.
1️⃣ Thorough Inspection
We inspect your attic, roof, vents, and crawlspaces to locate the squirrels, identify damage, and uncover how they’re entering your home.
2️⃣ Humane Trapping and Relocation
Live traps are placed in strategic locations, especially near nesting areas. Once captured, squirrels are relocated to suitable habitats far from residential areas.
3️⃣ Entry Point Sealing
After confirming all animals have been removed, we seal holes, cracks, soffit gaps, and vent openings using chew-resistant materials like steel mesh and durable sealants.
4️⃣ Sanitation and Odor Control
We clean and disinfect any contaminated areas, removing feces, nesting debris, and foul odors to restore a safe, healthy environment.
5️⃣ Ongoing Monitoring and Prevention
Our team can return for follow-up visits and offer professional recommendations on preventing future wildlife problems.
Even after removal, preventative measures are key to avoiding future squirrel issues:
✔ Trim trees so branches stay at least six feet away from your roof
✔ Install vent covers and chimney caps to block access points
✔ Store pet food and birdseed indoors or in sealed containers
✔ Inspect your home’s exterior for cracks or openings each season
✔ Schedule annual wildlife inspections, especially in spring and fall
