Why Choose Us?
Why Are Squirrels Such a Problem for Your Property?
Grey squirrels, while appearing harmless, can cause significant damage once they gain access to your property. These active rodents often seek shelter in lofts, attics, and wall cavities, especially during colder months or for nesting. Once inside, they can chew through electrical wiring, posing a serious fire risk. They'll also gnaw on timbers, insulation, pipework, and stored items, leading to costly repairs. Beyond the structural damage, their constant scurrying can be incredibly noisy, disrupting your peace, and their droppings and urine can contaminate areas, leading to unpleasant odours and potential health hazards.

Who We Are
Recognising the Signs of a Squirrel Infestation
Being able to spot the early signs of a squirrel problem can save you a lot of hassle and expense. The most common indicators we encounter when carrying out inspections in homes and businesses include:
- Noises in the Loft or Walls: Listen for scuttling, scratching, and gnawing sounds, particularly in the mornings and evenings when squirrels are most active.
- Gnaw Marks: Look for fresh gnaw marks on wooden beams, plastic pipes, electrical cables, or insulation in your loft.
- Droppings: Squirrel droppings are similar to rat droppings but often slightly larger and more rounded. You might find them in the loft or near entry points.
- Entry Points: Check for small holes or gaps around the roofline, eaves, vents, or damaged fascias that squirrels might be using to enter.
- Drey/Nest Material: You might find shredded insulation, leaves, or twigs indicating a nest (drey) in your attic.
