Squirrel Control in Havering: what we see locally
Havering's country parks and woodland, including Bedfords Park, Havering Country Park, Dagnam Park, Harold Wood Park and the Thames Chase Forest, support a large grey squirrel population. In autumn and late winter, squirrels look for warm places to nest, and lofts are a favourite.
We remove squirrels from lofts across Gidea Park, Emerson Park, Harold Wood, Upminster and Collier Row. They chew cables, insulation and timber, so it's important to act quickly. We trap and remove them in line with the law and show you where they're getting in.
Where we find squirrels in Havering
- Homes near Bedfords Park and Havering Country Park: Woodland nearby supports large squirrel numbers.
- Houses with mature trees: Branches close to the roof give squirrels easy access.
- Soft fascia boards: Squirrels chew through ageing timber at the eaves.
- Garages and outbuildings: Squirrels also nest in sheds and garden offices.
Our squirrel control service covers the whole of Havering, including Collier Row, Elm Park, Emerson Park, Gidea Park, Harold Hill, Harold Wood, Hornchurch, Rainham, Romford and Upminster, with same-day or next-day visits.
Keeping squirrels out of Havering homes
