Squirrel Control in Islington: what we see locally
Highbury Fields, Whittington Park, Gillespie Park, the garden squares and Islington's tree-lined streets support plenty of grey squirrels. In autumn and late winter, they look for warm places to nest.
We remove squirrels from roof voids and lofts across Highbury, Canonbury, Tufnell Park and Archway. They chew cables, insulation and timber, so it's important to act quickly.
Islington's terraces often have shared roof spaces, parapet walls and valley gutters, which let a squirrel move along several houses once it's found a way in. Top-floor flat owners usually hear them first, scampering above the ceiling early in the morning.
