Our team is available 24 hours a day. 7 days a week and if you need us in an emergency, we aim to get a pest exterminator to you 30-90 minutes* after your call.

Squirrel Pest Control

In the UK, grey squirrels are the most common species which cause problems. Found particularly in urban areas, they scavenge for food and look for nesting sites. They have taken over native red squirrels and can cause significant damage to trees, property, and bird feeders, making them a persistent nuisance for homeowners and conservationists alike. Effective squirrel pest control is important for homeowners and businesses to consider if they are looking to protect their property. If you suspect a squirrel infestation, it’s best to act quickly to prevent further damage. Our professional squirrel control team can get rid of squirrels and provide solutions tailored to your specific situation in order to help with squirrel pest control.

Can squirrels damage my home?
Squirrels can potentially chew through wires, insulation, and wood, leading to significant damage over time.
How do you get rid of squirrels?
After thoroughly assessing any and all entry points as well as identifying what is attracting and encouraging the squirrels, we will use baiting to lure them away from the area and remove them.
How do I prevent squirrels from returning?
Once treatment is complete, we recommend ensuring any potential entry points are blocked up. We also have a squirrel proofing service available if you should need one.
Can squirrels carry diseases?
Squirrels can carry fleas and parasites that can spread to humans and pets.
What attracts squirrels?
Like many animals that can become a pest, it will be food and shelter that attracts them. Squirrels will look for food in bird feeders and unsecured bins. They may even gain access to areas of your property, such as your loft, in order to find shelter during winter.
Are squirrels protected?
Yes, red squirrels are protected and there are many restrictions on squirrel pest control, and these keep getting stricter. Primarily, these are to ensure that squirrels are dealt with in a humane and environmentally responsible manner. As a result, we generally use a combination of baiting and a proofing service which can help prevent squirrels from returning. Treatments such as traps and poisons are highly regulated, reflecting a growing focus on reducing unnecessary harm to wildlife. This is why it’s essential to consult professionals who are trained to address these problems effectively while adhering to these ethical and legal guidelines.
