Squirrel Control in Great Harwood , Lancashire

Grey squirrels are more than just a nuisance; they are highly destructive. They frequently enter loft spaces to nest, where they chew through wooden support timbers, plastic water pipes, and electrical wiring. This gnawing behaviour poses a genuine fire risk and can lead to expensive repair bills. Furthermore, they often tear up loft insulation for nesting material, significantly reducing your home's energy efficiency.Beyond structural damage, squirrels can be aggressive when cornered and carry various parasites. Our team focuses on identifying these risks early to protect your property's value and your family's safety. If you hear scuttling or loud scratching noises coming from your ceiling, it is vital to act quickly before the damage escalates.

We follow a clinical and effective process to ensure your squirrel problem is resolved for good. Our technicians follow these steps:Site Survey: We conduct a comprehensive inspection to identify all entry points and assess the scale of the infestation.Identification: We confirm the species and locate nesting sites within your loft or wall cavities.Treatment: Using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies, we implement humane trapping where legally permitted under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.Squirrel Proofing: Once the property is clear, we seal entry points with professional-grade materials to prevent future re-entry.Aftercare: We provide advice on bird feeder placement and tree maintenance to discourage squirrels from returning to your roofline.
