Holt (Ingham County, MI) squirrel quote prep
A Holt attic squirrel can’t be released elsewhere in Michigan — and sealing too early can trap a litter
Holt sits in Ingham County just south of Lansing, where eastern gray and fox squirrels get into attics along the roofline. Two things shape the job: Michigan does not authorize releasing a trapped squirrel somewhere else — handling is on-site or through a DNR-licensed operator — and gray and fox squirrels have two litter seasons a year, so the provider needs the location, the timing, and whether you have heard young before quoting exclusion and sealing.
Say where you hear the activity — an attic, soffit, a gable vent, or a fascia gap — and whether it is loudest by day (the eastern gray and fox squirrels, the usual daytime attic invaders around Lansing) or after dark (southern flying squirrels, which can den in an attic in groups).
Timing matters: Michigan gray and fox squirrels have two litter peaks, roughly late winter (February–March) and midsummer (July–August), so a den found then may hold dependent young — a good provider confirms no young are left behind before sealing the entry.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources lets a landowner take fox, gray, and red squirrels year-round on property they are damaging, but a trapped squirrel is not released elsewhere — it is handled on-site or by a DNR-licensed operator; the lasting fix is a one-way exclusion door once the young are mobile, then sealing every gap with chew-resistant steel mesh or metal, since squirrels chew through plastic and aluminum. Route nuisance questions to the Michigan DNR.
