Successfully removing squirrels requires a comprehensive and strategic approach. Our expert squirrel control service in Hailsham follows a proven methodology designed to not just remove the immediate problem but to ensure these agile pests cannot return. 1. Thorough Inspection: We begin with a detailed survey of your property in Hailsham, identifying the specific species (typically the invasive Grey Squirrel, Sciurus carolinensis), assessing the extent of the infestation, locating dreys (nests), and crucially, pinpointing all entry and exit points used for gnawing. 2. Humane Grey Squirrel Removal: Our primary method involves humane trapping. It's important to note that under UK law, specifically the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (Schedule 9), captured grey squirrels, being an invasive species, cannot be legally released back into the wild. Our technicians handle this process professionally and discreetly. 3. Expert Proofing Exclusion: Once squirrels are removed, we implement robust proofing measures. This involves sealing all identified entry points such as gaps in fascia boards, rooflines, vents, and other vulnerable areas. We use durable materials like strong wire mesh to prevent any future re-entry. This exclusion work is vital for a long-term solution.
Grey squirrels in your loft or attic can wreak considerable havoc. Their constant gnawing damages timbers, water pipes, and, most dangerously, electrical wiring, which presents a significant fire hazard. They also tear through expensive loft insulation to create dreys, contaminating it with urine and droppings (guano). Our service extends beyond just removal: * Contaminated Insulation Removal: We safely remove all damaged and soiled loft insulation. * Sanitisation Disinfection: The affected area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to eliminate any remaining pathogens and unpleasant odours. * New Insulation Installation: We can then install fresh, high-quality insulation, restoring your loft to a clean, healthy, and energy-efficient space.
