Common questions about squirrel infestations in the loft

How do I know if I have squirrels or rats?Squirrels are typically active during the day, so you will hear scuttling or loud scratching in the morning or late afternoon. Rats are nocturnal, meaning you are more likely to hear them at night. Squirrels also tend to make much louder noises due to their size.Can I remove squirrels myself?We strongly advise against DIY squirrel control. Due to the legal restrictions regarding the handling of grey squirrels and the risks associated with working at height in lofts, professional intervention is necessary to stay compliant with the law and ensure safety.How long does squirrel treatment take?A typical squirrel removal programme involves several visits over a week or two to ensure all individuals have been removed before the final proofing work is completed.

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.
