Why Choose Us?
Understanding Your Squirrel Problem
Grey squirrels, while appearing harmless, can cause significant and costly damage once they gain access to your property. They often find their way into lofts, wall cavities, and even under floorboards, seeking shelter and nesting sites. Once inside, their strong need to gnaw can lead to chewed electrical wiring, damaged pipework, insulation shredding, and structural timber weakening. Beyond the noise and mess from droppings and urine, this damage can pose fire hazards and impact your home's energy efficiency. We know how distressing this can be, and our professional service aims to provide a swift and lasting solution.

- Damage: Chewed wires (often bare copper visible), damaged timber beams, shredded loft insulation, or gnaw marks around entry points.
- Droppings: Small, dark, pellet-like droppings that resemble rat droppings but might be slightly more rounded.
