Squirrel Control in Waltham Forest: what we see locally
Epping Forest, Lloyd Park and Highams Park support huge numbers of grey squirrels. In autumn and late winter, they look for warm places to nest, and lofts are ideal.
We remove squirrels from lofts across Chingford, Highams Park, Walthamstow Village and Leytonstone.
Many Waltham Forest terraces have shared roof spaces, so a squirrel that gets into one loft can move along several houses. Noises are usually heard early in the morning and late in the afternoon, which helps tell squirrels apart from rats.
