Kirkwood's 1920s craftsman and mid-century homes have more attic-access gaps than any newer construction — and squirrels have been mapping them for generations.

The 63122 zip through downtown Kirkwood, Greentree, and Osage sees steady gray squirrel, raccoon, and occasional roof rat activity. Older construction means chimney flashings, gable louvers, and dormer intersections are frequent entry points.
We work carefully around historic character — no lifted slate, no torch-cut copper, hardware color-matched to trim on street elevations. Every job includes attic verification before trap or exclusion work.
Every Kirkwood job carries a written 1-year sealed-opening warranty and a 90-day rodent activity warranty on interior work.
Squirrel attic season September–November and February–April. Bat maternity May 1–July 31 (MDC exclusion window).

Client heard mid-morning scampering. Original wood louver was rotted at one corner and chewed to a fist-size opening. Fabricated hardware-cloth backer, painted louver replacement, decon in the 22 sq ft affected.
Loud scratching in the fireplace flue. Never smoked her out — installed reunion box, mother relocated kits over two nights. Custom stainless chimney cap sized to the original clay-tile flue. Warranty issued.
Droppings on top of a laundry-room cabinet. Rear porch roof met house wall with a 1-inch gap invisible from ground level. Hardware seal, six interior traps, four exterior stations. Zero activity at day 13.
“Selena treated our 1912 craftsman like her own. Custom chimney cap, no shortcuts. We'll use them for anything wildlife-related from now on.”

Yes. Every Kirkwood technician holds a Missouri Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator permit. Insurance certificate on request.
Yes. Chipmunk work is typically live trapping paired with hardware-cloth trenching around porches and decks to prevent re-entry.
Kevin answered the after-hours line, walked me through containing the room, was on-site by 8am. Safe capture, tested (per MDC guidance), and full exclusion the next week. Handled a scary situation with total professionalism.
Diego was patient with my questions and pet-safe about every product. Baited out, dusted voids, followed up at two weeks. Clean kitchen for the first time in a year.
Luis found the entry point in 15 minutes — a chewed gable vent I'd missed for a year. Exclusion mesh, one-way door, follow-up visit. Straightforward pricing, no upsell.
Trevor explained the whole maternity-season timeline and didn't try to rush the exclusion. Waited until pups could fly, sealed the ridge cap, guano cleanup was thorough. Have not heard a scratch in the attic since.
Two other companies just kept setting traps. Aaron actually sealed the sill plate and dryer vent — root cause. Traps stayed empty after the third week. Should've called them first.
Ryan didn't just bait. He mapped the burrows, sealed the foundation gaps behind the trash cans, and coordinated with the alderman's rat abatement. Three months clean. Very Chicago-savvy.
