Grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) are more than just a nuisance; they are a destructive invasive species that can severely compromise your home or business in Burgess Hill. Key problems include:

• Fire Hazard: Their constant gnawing on electrical cables in lofts and wall cavities can strip insulation, exposing live wires and creating a serious risk of fire.
• Structural Damage: Squirrels will chew on timber beams, roof joists, and fascia boards, weakening the structural integrity of your property over time.
• Insulation Destruction: They tear through loft insulation to build dreys (nests), reducing its effectiveness and leading to higher heating costs. This also contaminates the insulation with droppings and urine.
• Noise Disturbance: The incessant scratching, scampering, and gnawing noises, especially at dawn and dusk, can be incredibly disruptive to your household.
• Contamination Risks: Squirrel droppings and urine can spread bacteria and create unpleasant odours, compromising the hygiene of your living or working space.

At Tech Country Pest Control, we provide a thorough and effective grey squirrel removal and proofing service tailored for Burgess Hill properties:

1. Detailed Inspection: Our NPTA-accredited technician will conduct a comprehensive survey of your property to identify entry points, assess the extent of the infestation, and pinpoint areas of damage within your loft or other affected spaces.
2. Humane Removal: We utilise humane trapping methods to capture grey squirrels. Due to their legal status as an invasive Schedule 9 species under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it is illegal to release captured grey squirrels back into the wild. We handle all disposals responsibly and compliantly.
3. Expert Proofing: Once squirrels are removed, we identify and seal all potential entry points. This includes repairing damaged fascia boards, sealing gaps, installing robust wire mesh over vents, and securing weak spots to prevent future access and re-infestations.
4. Damage Remediation: Should squirrels have caused significant damage, we offer services for contaminated loft insulation removal, professional cleaning, disinfection, and the installation of new, high-quality insulation to restore your loft space.
