Squirrel Control in Harrow: what we see locally
Harrow's commons, parks and mature gardens, from Stanmore Common and Bentley Priory to Canons Park and Pinner Memorial Park, support a large grey squirrel population. In autumn and late winter, squirrels look for warm places to nest, and lofts are perfect.
Many Harrow semis and bungalows have timber fascias and soffits that soften with age, and squirrels gnaw through these to reach the loft. Once inside, they chew cables, insulation and timber. We trap and remove squirrels in line with the law and identify the entry point so it can be repaired.
Noises are usually heard in the early morning and late afternoon, which helps tell squirrels apart from rats.
