Squirrel Pest Control Treatment
Specialized Trapping
We use professional-grade traps placed strategically in the loft or near entry points. This is the most effective and legal way to remove grey squirrels from a building.
High-Level Proofing
Squirrels are expert climbers. We use heavy-duty galvanized mesh and steel plates to block entry points under eaves, around chimneys, and through vents.
Tree Management Advice
We provide advice on pruning overhanging branches that are providing squirrels with an easy 'bridge' onto your roof.
Advice on Dealing with Squirrel Pest Control
Do not block the hole yet
If you have squirrels, do not block the entry point while they are inside. A trapped squirrel will chew its way through your ceiling to escape.
Check your insulation
Squirrels will shred insulation to build their nests, which reduces the energy efficiency of your home. Always check for damage after they've been removed.
Listen for scratching
Squirrels are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day. If you hear loud scratching or thumping in the morning, it's likely squirrels rather than rats.
What They Can Do to Your Property
Electrical Fires
Like all rodents, squirrels must gnaw. They frequently chew through heavy-duty electrical cables in lofts, posing a massive fire risk.
Structural Destruction
Squirrels can chew through wood, lead flashing, and even soft aluminum to gain access to a warm nesting spot.
Noise and Mess
The noise of squirrels nesting is incredibly loud. They also bring in nesting material and leave behind droppings and urine that contaminate the loft space.
