Squirrels can be difficult to deal with, especially when they are in your home. It is not uncommon for squirrels to make nests in attics or loft spaces and once the nest has been created, squirrels are known to be territorial. If you have a squirrel problem in your home, our trained technicians can help remove them.

How do I know if I have a squirrel problem?
Signs of a squirrel infestation
If you think you’ve spotted signs of a squirrel infestation, you’re in the right place. This quick guide to squirrels will help you determine if it is in fact squirrels you are dealing with.
Signs
There are a number of tell-tale signs that you have a squirrel infestation:
- Scratching or rustling noises coming from your attic or wall cavity.
- Droppings and smell of urine in the loft area; our technicians can help you confirm the source of the droppings.
- Sightings of squirrels around the roof area.
- Holes or damage in your insulation or exterior.
Biology
Grey squirrels were introduced to the UK in the victorian era and have since colonised 90% of the squirrel population in the UK. This has led to a decline in the numbers of the native red squirrel, a protected species.
Grey squirrels have a silver-grey fur coat with white underside. They grow to between 24-26cm in length and have long whiskers, big eyes and small ears.
Grey squirrels create nests in trees called dreys; these are easy to spot in winter when there are fewer leaves. Without available trees, squirrels will make themselves home in an attic or loft space.

5 STEP SOLUTION TO PEST problems
1
INSPECTION
A full environmental assessment identifying: pest infestations, access points, sources of food, water & harbourage, proofing options, and any external factors which could result in pest infestations.
2
EXCLUSION
Rat proofing is carried out where possible by our technicians, any larger proofing jobs will be quoted. Proofing is the best defence. Mice can fit through gaps over 6mm so full proofing is difficult to manage.
3
RESTRICTION
Restricting the sources of food, water and harbourage will make your home less appealing for pests and can be an effective way to prevent re-infestation.
4
DESTRUCTION
This is what it says, exterminating pests that do manage to find their way into your home. Destruction does not necessarily mean rodenticides though, the CRRU risk hierarchy will be used to identify the least harmful options.
5
COMMUNICATION
At every stage of this process our technicians will be communicating their actions and importantly the reasons for their actions.. Technicians’ recommendations should be followed to ensure you have a pest-free home.
