Delaying action against a squirrel infestation can lead to escalating problems. Grey squirrels are incredibly destructive. They gnaw constantly to keep their teeth sharp, targeting crucial structural timbers, pipework, and especially electrical cables. This isn't just an inconvenience; exposed wiring presents a significant fire risk. They also build large, messy nests (dreys) in lofts, compacting and soiling insulation, reducing its effectiveness and increasing your energy bills. Their droppings and urine contaminate surfaces, posing potential health risks. Choosing professional squirrel control quickly minimises damage, prevents costly repairs, and ensures your property in Hastings remains safe.

Our approach to squirrel control in Hastings is thorough and effective:

• Detailed Property Inspection: We begin with a meticulous survey of your property to identify entry points, the extent of the infestation, and any damage caused.
• Humane Grey Squirrel Removal: We use humane trapping methods to capture the squirrels. It is crucial to understand that under UK law (specifically the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, Schedule 9), grey squirrels are an invasive species and cannot legally be released back into the wild once caught.
• Expert Proofing: Once the squirrels are removed, we implement robust exclusion measures. This involves sealing all identified access points – repairing damaged fascia boards, blocking gaps in roofing, and installing durable wire mesh over vents and openings to prevent future re-entry.
• Damage Remediation: Should squirrels have caused significant damage, we offer services for the removal of contaminated loft insulation, followed by a professional clean, disinfection, and replacement with new, high-quality insulation.
• Preventative Advice: We provide practical advice on how to make your property less attractive to squirrels in the long term, such as securing external food sources.
