Grey squirrels are incredibly adept at finding their way into your loft, attic, or wall cavities. Often, the first sign of their unwelcome presence is the noise they make. Listen out for:

• Scratching or Scuttling Sounds: Particularly in the early morning or late evening, you might hear movement above your ceiling or within walls.
• Gnawing Noises: Squirrels constantly gnaw to keep their teeth in check. This can sound like persistent chewing on timber, plastic, or even electrical wiring.
• Visible Damage: Look for disturbed insulation, chew marks on wooden beams, pipes, or cables, and even structural damage to fascia boards or rooflines in Heathfield properties.
• Droppings: Similar to rat droppings but often more scattered, indicating an active infestation.
• Drey (Nest) Building: Squirrels build dreys from twigs, leaves, and insulation material, often in tucked-away corners of your loft.

Left untreated, these 'loft squirrels' can cause substantial damage to your property's structure, insulation, and, most critically, create a significant fire hazard by chewing through electrical cables. Protect your Heathfield home; act quickly at the first sign of a problem.

Our comprehensive squirrel control service for Heathfield homes and businesses goes beyond simple removal. We aim for a permanent solution, protecting your property for the long term. Here is our expert approach:

• Thorough Property Inspection: Our NPTA-accredited technicians conduct a detailed survey of your Heathfield property to identify entry points, assess the extent of the infestation, and pinpoint any damage caused by the grey squirrels. This helps us tailor the most effective treatment plan.
• Humane Grey Squirrel Removal: We primarily use humane trapping methods to capture grey squirrels. It is important to note that, as an invasive species (listed on Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981), it is illegal to release captured grey squirrels back into the wild in the UK. Our methods comply fully with all UK wildlife laws.
• Expert Proofing Exclusion: Once the squirrels are removed, preventing re-entry is crucial. We meticulously seal all potential access points, such as gaps in rooflines, damaged fascia boards, loose tiles, or vents. We use durable materials like heavy-duty wire mesh to ensure squirrels cannot regain access to your loft or other areas of your Heathfield property.
• Damage Remediation Sanitisation: If squirrels have damaged your loft, we offer a full service to remove contaminated insulation, clean and disinfect the entire space, and install fresh, new insulation. This not only restores your loft but also eliminates any lingering odours or biohazards.
• Preventative Advice: We provide practical, tailored advice on how to make your Heathfield property less attractive to squirrels in the future, helping you maintain a pest-free environment.
