Identifying a Squirrel Problem: What to Look For
Squirrels can cause extensive damage and pose various risks once they establish themselves indoors. Knowing the signs is the first step towards getting rid of them. You might notice:
- Noises: Persistent scratching, gnawing, or scampering sounds, especially in the early morning or late evening, often originating from your loft, ceiling, or within wall cavities.
- Damage: Chewed electrical wiring (a serious fire hazard), damaged insulation, gnawed wooden beams, pipes, or personal belongings stored in the loft. They might also create visible entry holes.
- Droppings: Small, dark pellets similar to rat droppings, often found near entry points or in areas of activity.
- Drey Nests: If you can access your loft, you might find their nests (dreys) made from twigs, leaves, and insulation material.
If you observe any of these signs, it's crucial to act fast. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians are ready to conduct a thorough inspection of your home or business in Newquay to pinpoint the source and extent of the squirrel problem.

Once the squirrels are removed, the next crucial step is prevention. Without effective proofing, you risk a recurring problem. Our comprehensive service includes expert advice and implementation of proofing measures to seal off potential entry points and make your property less inviting to these resourceful pests.
- Sealing Gaps: We’ll identify and seal holes, cracks, and gaps in your roofline, fascias, soffits, and around pipework.
- Reinforcing Access Points: This might involve fitting mesh over vents, repairing damaged roof tiles, or strengthening weak points that squirrels could exploit.
- Tree Pruning Advice: Overhanging branches can act as bridges to your roof. We can advise on necessary tree pruning to limit easy access.
Our goal is to provide a long-lasting solution, giving you peace of mind that your Newquay home or commercial building is protected from future squirrel intrusions.
