Are squirrels in your loft causing property damage?

Grey squirrels are notorious for their need to gnaw. Because their teeth never stop growing, they must chew on hard materials to keep them down. In a loft space, this often means your structural timber, floor joists, and most dangerously, electrical wiring. Gnawed cables are a leading cause of house fires in the UK, making professional squirrel control an essential safety measure.Beyond the fire risk, squirrels often destroy insulation to create nesting material and can contaminate water tanks with droppings or urine. The noise of scurrying and scratching, particularly in the early morning, is often the first sign of an issue. We recommend acting quickly to prevent the infestation from growing. If you are also dealing with other pests, we offer comprehensive rodent control and rodent proofing services across Lancashire.

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.
