Common Tree Squirrels In Colorado
Colorado is home to a wide variety of animals, and this includes different types of squirrels. The most common type of squirrel in Colorado is the tree squirrel. As their name suggests, tree squirrels live and play in trees. They may cause damage to trees by girdling the fresh growth and chewing on the bark in search of nutrients. Here are a few common types of tree squirrels you might find in your yard:
- Fox squirrels
- Pine squirrels
- Abert's squirrels

Attic Insulation Repair Services
Tree squirrels often wander over to your rooftop and have been known to nest in attics and wall cavities. They may take advantage of rotting wood or chew through vents to create a point of entry. Once inside, squirrels often disturb attic insulation to create a nesting area. This can cause efficiency gaps due to the insulation being compacted or bare in some areas. In addition to damaging your insulation, squirrels may chew on wiring and other structures inside the attic space.
If squirrels have damaged your attic insulation, Whitmore can help with that, too! After we trap and remove the squirrels on your property, we will begin working with you for any repairs you might need. Think of us as your one-stop shop for all things squirrel control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can your team check traps that I set myself?
For safety, liability, and quality control, we’re no longer able to check traps that customers set themselves. Our technicians can only service traps that we install and monitor daily, Monday through Friday. This helps us ensure everything is handled safely and according to our service standards.
Please note that we will only mention the M-F trapping to those who have had previous trapping.
What can I do if squirrels are chewing on my trees?
We recommend offering a mineral block to see if that will diminish the negative behavior. Squirrels are usually chewing on the bark for minerals/nutrients so if we provide the nutrients by a different source, there may be positive results.
What happens to the squirrels?
We do not practice relocation as squirrels will often return to the capture site, become a nuisance to another homeowner, or struggle to thrive in a new habitat.
When possible, we utilize one-way doors to allow squirrels to exit safely without being able to re-enter. This is often the most humane and effective solution, particularly in urban areas like the Denver metro. However, there are some situations where one-way doors aren’t practical or advisable.
Our inspectors will assess the specifics of your situation onsite and discuss the best and most effective options with you.
Can you repair damage caused by squirrels?
Yes. If squirrels have damaged insulation, we provide removal and reinstallation services after the animals have been safely removed.
How can I prevent squirrels from returning?
Proper repairs and exclusion methods, such as sealing entry points, are key. We ensure all access points are properly secured to prevent future infestations.
How do you handle squirrels in my attic or walls?
We focus on removal combined with durable repairs to prevent reentry. We identify and repair all entry points except the main one, then install a trap or one-way door so squirrels can exit but not return. We follow up 7–10 days later to remove the device and repair the final entry point.
What about squirrels causing problems outdoors?
For exterior nuisance squirrels, we offer trapping services. Our technicians check and reset traps daily from Monday through Friday to ensure effective removal.
