They frequently target timber joists, plastic water pipes, and, most dangerously, electrical wiring.

At Pest Medic, we follow a strict Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy. This means we prioritise environmentally-conscious practices and long-term prevention over the heavy use of chemicals. Our process begins with a comprehensive site survey to identify entry points, nesting sites, and the extent of the activity.Once we have assessed the situation, we use humane trapping methods where legally permitted. Our technicians are highly trained and fully insured, ensuring that every treatment is carried out safely and professionally. After the squirrels are removed, we focus on rodent proofing. This involves sealing entry points with professional-grade materials that squirrels cannot gnaw through, such as heavy-gauge mesh and steel wool, preventing future invasions.
