Squirrel Control in Barnet: what we see locally
With its many parks, woods and tree-lined streets, Barnet has a large grey squirrel population. In autumn and late winter, squirrels look for warm, dry places to nest, and lofts are an obvious choice.
We remove squirrels from lofts across the borough, particularly in leafy areas like Totteridge, Whetstone, Mill Hill, Hampstead Garden Suburb and East Finchley near Cherry Tree Wood. Squirrels can chew cables, insulation and timber, so it's important to deal with them quickly.
Where we find squirrels in Barnet
- Homes near woodland: Houses near Cherry Tree Wood, Hadley Woods and Scratchwood are most at risk.
- Trees close to roofs: Overhanging branches give squirrels easy access.
- Soft fascia boards: Squirrels chew through rotten timber at the eaves.
- Garden offices and sheds: Squirrels also nest in outbuildings.
Our squirrel control service covers the whole of Barnet, including Childs Hill, Chipping Barnet, Colindale, East Barnet, East Finchley, Edgware, Finchley, Friern Barnet, Golders Green, Hendon, Mill Hill, New Barnet, North Finchley, Totteridge and Whetstone, with same-day or next-day visits.
Keeping squirrels out of Barnet homes
Trim branches back from your roof, repair damaged fascias and soffits and use squirrel-proof bird feeders. Never block a hole while squirrels may still be in the loft.
How we treat squirrels
- Loft and roofline inspection to find entry points
- Humane, legal removal in line with UK wildlife law
- Regular checks during the treatment period
- Proofing of entry holes with mesh once squirrels are cleared
