Professional local help
Squirrel Control and Loft Inspections
Grey squirrels in a loft can damage insulation, timber and electrical wiring. They are often heard early in the morning and may repeatedly use the same roof entry point. We investigate the activity and explain the lawful, responsible options.
How we help
A careful, practical approach
- 1
Confirm whether the noise is likely to be squirrels or another animal
- 2
Inspect roof spaces and external access points
- 3
Use FLIR thermal imaging where helpful to investigate possible squirrel heat patterns in walls, ceilings and loft spaces
- 4
Position motion-activated night-vision cameras where overnight or early-morning monitoring can help identify activity and routes
- 5
Carry out appropriate control and advise when entry points can safely be secured
Prevention and aftercare
Helping reduce the chance of a return
Keep branches cut back from roofs where practical, repair vulnerable fascia or soffit gaps and only seal an entrance once the animals have been properly dealt with.
