Squirrel Control & Management
Hearing loud scratching or banging in your loft?
Squirrels in your roof can cause serious damage — and they won’t leave on their own.
We deal with squirrel problems properly by removing the issue and stopping them getting back in.
Grey squirrels are an invasive species and one of the most destructive pests to get into a property.
Once inside your loft, they can:
Chew through electrical wiring (fire risk)
Tear up insulation
Damage timber and roof structures
Create entry points for other pests
Cause constant noise, especially early mornings
Unlike smaller pests, squirrels are strong, persistent, and highly destructive.
Removing them isn’t enough
Many squirrel problems return because the entry point hasn’t been properly identified and secured.
If access remains:
New squirrels will move in
The problem starts again
More damage follows
That’s why we focus on solving the root cause — not just the symptoms.
The long-term solution
1. Full Inspection
We identify how squirrels are accessing your loft — often rooflines, soffits, or weak points.
2. Targeted Control
We deal with the current squirrels using appropriate, legal, and humane methods.
3. Proofing & Repairs
We secure entry points to stop re-entry.
4. Prevention Advice
We guide you on how to reduce the chances of future problems.
We aim to use the most appropriate method for the situation, focusing on:
Targeted control
Minimising unnecessary suffering
Avoiding blanket use of poisons
Every property is different — we tailor the solution to your situation.
Not sure if it’s squirrels?
Common signs include:
Loud banging or heavy movement in the loft
Activity early morning or late afternoon
Scratching and chewing sounds
Damage around roof edges or soffits
Insulation being disturbed
Squirrels are much louder than rats — if it sounds heavy, it often is.
Don’t Leave It Too Long
The longer they stay, the more damage they cause
Squirrels don’t settle quietly — they actively destroy parts of your home.
Acting early:
Reduces repair costs
Prevents further entry points
Stops the problem escalating
Get it sorted properly
Book an inspection and stop the problem before it gets worse.
