How Our Garstang Squirrel Control Process Works

We follow a rigorous Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach to ensure long-term results. The process begins with a comprehensive site survey to identify entry points and the scale of the activity. Once identified, we use professional, humane trapping methods that comply strictly with UK law. After the squirrels are successfully removed, we focus on the most important step: rodent proofing. We seal entry points using heavy-duty materials to prevent new squirrels from moving into the vacated space. Finally, we offer advice on tree management and property maintenance to keep your Garstang home secure.

Why You Must Act Quickly Against Squirrel Infestations

Grey squirrels are notorious for their gnawing habits. In a loft space, they can chew through electrical wiring, creating a significant fire risk, and destroy expensive insulation. They also damage timber beams and plastic water pipes, leading to potential leaks and structural issues. Beyond the physical damage, the noise they create—especially during the early morning—can be incredibly stressful for inhabitants. By choosing Pest Medic for your squirrel control in Garstang, you are protecting your property value and your peace of mind. We aim to respond to all enquiries within four hours to stop the damage before it escalates.

Professional Compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act

It is essential to understand that the management of grey squirrels is strictly regulated in the UK. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it is illegal to release a grey squirrel back into the wild once it has been captured. Our CPCA accredited technicians operate with total transparency and legal compliance. We use humane methods that prioritise safety and ethics, ensuring that our treatments are safe for your family, pets, and the local Garstang environment. We avoid harmful chemicals wherever possible, focusing instead on mechanical controls and structural proofing.

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.
