How We Manage Squirrel Infestations Effectively

Our squirrel removal process is built on the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). We begin with a comprehensive site survey of your Adlington property to identify the extent of the infestation and locate every potential entry point. Squirrels can squeeze through surprisingly small gaps, often using overhanging branches or utility cables to reach your roof. Once we have identified the nesting sites and access routes, we implement a bespoke treatment plan.We utilise humane trapping methods as permitted by UK law, ensuring the process is handled with professional care. However, removal is only half the battle. To ensure a permanent solution, we focus heavily on professional proofing. This involves sealing entry points with durable materials that squirrels cannot chew through, such as heavy-gauge wire mesh or specialized sealants. This clinical approach ensures that once your property is clear, it stays clear.

The Risks of Ignoring Squirrels in Your Loft

Leaving a squirrel infestation untreated can lead to costly repairs and safety hazards. Grey squirrels have teeth that never stop growing, meaning they must constantly gnaw on hard materials to keep them down. In a typical Adlington loft, this includes wooden support beams, plastic water pipes, and highly dangerous electrical cabling. Damage to insulation can also lead to reduced energy efficiency and increased heating costs.Beyond the structural risks, squirrels can carry various pathogens and parasites, including fleas and mites, which can migrate into living areas. Their droppings and urine also create hygiene issues and can lead to unpleasant odours. By choosing Pest Medic, you are protecting your property's value and your family's health. Our team brings over 155 years of combined experience to every job, ensuring we handle these risks with the highest level of expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions About Squirrel Control

Can I remove squirrels myself?It is not recommended. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, it is illegal to release a grey squirrel back into the wild once trapped. Professional pest controllers have the training and legal means to handle these animals correctly and safely. Furthermore, without professional proofing, new squirrels will likely move into the vacated nest almost immediately.How long does the removal process take?The timeline varies depending on the size of the infestation, but most squirrel problems are resolved within a few days. Our initial survey allows us to provide a clear estimate of the time required for trapping and the subsequent proofing work needed to secure your property.Are the treatments safe for my pets?Yes. We prioritise non-toxic, physical methods such as trapping and proofing. If any specialist cleaning or decontamination is required following an infestation, we use professional-grade products that are safe for use in family homes and are applied following strict safety protocols.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our humane squirrel control and proofing services in Blackburn & Lancashire and surrounding Lancashire areas.

How do I know if I have squirrels or rats in my loft?

+

Squirrels are usually active during the day, so you will likely hear scratching and thumping noises in the morning or late afternoon. Rats are nocturnal, so you would hear them mostly at night. Squirrels also tend to make louder, heavier noises and leave larger droppings. During our initial survey, we will identify the pest for certain.

Can I just block the hole myself?

+

We advise against blocking holes until you are 100% sure the squirrels are gone. If you trap a squirrel inside, it will cause immense damage trying to chew its way out, or it may die in your wall cavity, leading to terrible smells and fly problems. We always remove the squirrels before professionally sealing the entry points.

Are your methods humane?

+

Yes, we strictly follow the law and industry best practices. We use professional traps designed to work quickly and effectively. Our team is trained to handle these situations with the utmost respect for animal welfare while following the legal requirements for managing invasive species.

How much does squirrel proofing cost?

+

The cost depends on how many entry points there are and how much damage has already been done. We provide free, no-obligation quotes after assessing your property. Investing in proofing now saves you a significant amount of money in the long run by preventing fire hazards and structural rot.
