Squirrel Control in Richmond upon Thames: what we see locally
Richmond Park, Bushy Park, Kew Gardens, Ham Common and the borough's mature gardens support a huge grey squirrel population. In autumn and late winter, they look for warm places to nest, and lofts are ideal.
We remove squirrels from lofts across Richmond Hill, Ham, Petersham, East Sheen, Teddington and Kew. They chew cables, insulation and timber, so it's important to act quickly.
Many of Richmond's period houses have complicated rooflines with dormers, parapets and valley gutters, which give squirrels hidden ways in. Once inside, they chew cables, insulation and timber.
