How our squirrel removal process works

We follow a structured, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach to ensure every infestation is handled thoroughly and humanely. The process begins with a detailed site survey to identify active entry points and assess the extent of the activity. Once we understand the scale of the problem, we implement a treatment plan tailored to your specific building.After the squirrels are safely removed, our team focuses on the root cause. We provide professional rodent proofing to seal up gaps in soffits, facias, and rooflines using durable materials that squirrels cannot chew through. Finally, we offer decontamination cleaning to remove any hazardous waste or nesting material left behind in your insulation.

What are the dangers of squirrels in your loft?

Grey squirrels have a constant need to gnaw to keep their teeth sharp. In a domestic or commercial loft space, this often leads to them chewing through lead piping, structural timber, and dangerous electrical wiring, which poses a significant fire risk. Their presence is not something that should be ignored, as the damage can escalate rapidly.Beyond the physical damage, squirrels carry various parasites and can contaminate your property with urine and droppings. By choosing our specialist grey squirrel treatment, you protect your property's value and ensure the safety of everyone inside. Our goal is to eliminate the risk of disease transmission and prevent costly repairs through proactive prevention.

Safe and legal squirrel control in Rochdale

Squirrel management in the UK is governed by strict legislation, specifically the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. It is important to know that it is a legal requirement to handle grey squirrels humanely, and it is an offence to release a captured grey squirrel back into the wild. Our CPCA accredited team operates with full legal compliance, ensuring all treatments are conducted ethically.We also adhere to COSHH regulations, using environmentally-conscious methods and professional-grade biocides that are safe for use in family homes and commercial environments.

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.
