Squirrel Control

Remove loft-dwelling grey squirrels and proof them out

About squirrels

Grey squirrels in a loft are far more than a noise nuisance. They gnaw joists and cabling, foul insulation and can cause real structural and fire risk. As a non-native species they cannot legally be released, so control and thorough proofing are the responsible solution.

How to spot them

Signs of a squirrel problem

  • Heavy scampering and scratching in the loft, usually at dawn and dusk
  • Gnawed timber, cabling and stored items in the roof space
  • Entry points where felt, soffits or roof tiles have been forced
  • Droppings and nesting debris in the loft
Why it matters

The risks of leaving squirrels untreated

  • Gnawed wiring presents a serious fire hazard
  • Damage to insulation, joists and water tanks
  • Legal restrictions on how grey squirrels must be handled
Our approach

How we treat squirrels

01

Survey the roof space and exterior to find entry and nesting points

02

Carry out lawful control in line with wildlife legislation

03

Proof every access point with robust, gnaw-resistant materials

04

Confirm the loft is clear and secure before completion

Keep them away

Preventing squirrels coming back

  • Cut back branches that overhang the roof
  • Repair damaged soffits, fascias and roofline gaps
  • Fit mesh to vents and weak points before autumn

When you will see them

Squirrels seek loft shelter most in autumn and during the two breeding peaks in late winter and summer.

Guaranteed treatment

We treat the source and proof the entry points, then follow up to make sure the problem stays solved.
