Quick answer: Sealing every entry point with squirrel-resistant materials after humane removal is essential, since squirrels are persistent and will test other weak spots if only one gap is closed.
Squirrels chew their way into attics through soffit gaps, roof vents, and fascia damage, then nest in insulation and gnaw on wiring — a fire risk that makes squirrel removal more urgent than the noise alone suggests.
Beyond the fire risk from chewed wiring, squirrels can cause repeated re-entry once they’ve established a den site, so sealing the entry point matters as much as removing the animal.
We remove squirrels humanely, seal all entry points with squirrel-resistant materials, and apply preventive measures to stop the same or a new squirrel from getting back in.

Fairly urgent — chewed wiring is a real fire risk, and the longer a squirrel nests, the more insulation and structural damage accumulates.
We seal every access point we find, since squirrels are persistent and will test other weak spots if only one is closed.
If entry points aren't properly sealed, yes — established den sites are attractive to squirrels year after year.
