Squirrel Control: 5 frequently asked questions
Is squirrel removal legal?
Yes. Grey squirrels are an invasive species, and removing them is legal when done humanely by trained technicians.
Can you fix the holes they're using?
Yes. Once the squirrels are gone, we can mesh or seal entry points so new ones can't get in.
When is the best time to act?
As soon as you hear them. Squirrels breed in late winter and summer, and young in the loft make treatment harder.
How do I know if I have squirrels in the loft?
Listen for scratching or thumping at dawn and dusk, and look for chewed fascias, shredded insulation and droppings in the loft.
Is squirrel trapping humane?
Yes. We use humane, legal methods in line with UK wildlife law.
