Why Choose Us?
Is That a Squirrel? Recognising the Signs of Infestation
Squirrels are incredibly agile and opportunistic, often finding their way into lofts, wall cavities, and even under floorboards. If you're hearing scratching, rustling, or scurrying noises, especially in the early mornings or late afternoons, it's a strong indicator of a squirrel problem. Other common signs include:
- Gnaw marks: Look for chewed wood, plastic, or even electrical wiring around entry points or in your loft.
- Droppings: Small, dark, pellet-like droppings, often found in concentrated areas.
- Damaged insulation: Loft insulation may appear matted down, shredded, or moved.
- Unusual smells: A persistent, musky odour from their urine or nesting materials.
- Visible entry points: Holes in rooflines, fascia boards, or around vents.
Ignoring these signs can lead to serious issues, including fire hazards from damaged wiring or water leaks from chewed pipes.
