Hearing scratching, thumping, or gnawing noises from your loft or walls?

With 20 years of hands-on experience in effective pest management, we're your local experts ready to tackle any squirrel issue, big or small.
Why Choose Us?
Why Professional Squirrel Control is Essential (And Why DIY Fails)
Dealing with squirrels yourself often leads to frustration and can even be dangerous. Store-bought traps and deterrents rarely provide a lasting solution, and incorrectly managed pests can simply move to another part of your property, causing more hidden damage. Moreover, grey squirrels are a non-native invasive species, and while it's an offence to release a trapped grey squirrel back into the wild, the methods for humane dispatch require specific expertise and, in some cases, a Marksman Qualification – which our team holds. Our professional service provides a safe, legal, and truly effective solution. We use specialist equipment and proven techniques to get rid of squirrels for good, focusing on long-term prevention.

01822 668338Spotting the Signs of Squirrels in Your Loft or Walls
Squirrels are incredibly agile and can squeeze through surprisingly small gaps. They're often most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Look out for these tell-tale signs:
- Noise: Scratching, scuttling, or gnawing sounds coming from your loft, walls, or even under floorboards, especially during the day.
- Droppings: Small, dark pellets, similar to rat droppings but often more varied in shape.
- Damage: Chewed wood (rafters, fascia boards), shredded insulation, damaged wiring, or disturbed stored items in your loft.
- Sightings: Seeing squirrels frequently on your roof, climbing walls, or entering/exiting specific points on your property.
- Unusual Smells: A lingering, musky odour from their urine and droppings, particularly in confined spaces.
