Grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) are more than just a nuisance; they pose significant threats to properties in Lewes. Once they gain access to your loft or wall cavities, their destructive habits can lead to costly and dangerous problems: Gnawing Damage: Squirrels possess constantly growing incisors, compelling them to chew on hard surfaces. This often includes crucial electrical wiring, creating severe fire hazards. They also gnaw through wooden timbers, structural supports, and even water pipes, potentially compromising your property's integrity. Insulation Destruction: They tear apart and shred loft insulation to build their dreys (nests), significantly reducing your home's energy efficiency and increasing heating costs. Contamination: Squirrel droppings and urine contaminate loft spaces, creating unpleasant odours and unhygienic conditions. This can attract other pests and pose health risks. Noise Disturbance: The constant scratching, scurrying, and gnawing noises from your loft can be highly disruptive, especially at night, impacting your peace of mind. Blocked Gutters Vents: Dreys built in inappropriate places can block guttering or ventilation points, leading to water damage or airflow issues.

Our comprehensive squirrel control service in Lewes is designed to not only remove the immediate threat but also to prevent future infestations. Here's how our expert process works: Thorough Inspection: We begin with a detailed survey of your Lewes property. Our NPTA-accredited technicians identify all entry points, assess the extent of the squirrel infestation, and pinpoint areas of damage. This allows us to formulate a targeted eradication plan. Humane Removal: We utilise humane trapping methods to safely capture grey squirrels. It's crucial to understand that grey squirrels are legally classified as an invasive, non-native (Schedule 9) species in the UK. This means that once captured, they cannot be released back into the wild. We comply fully with all UK wildlife laws during the removal process. Proofing Exclusion: The key to long-term squirrel control is preventing re-entry. We expertly identify and seal all potential access points, such as gaps in fascia boards, rooflines, vents, and weakened timber. We use durable, squirrel-proof materials like heavy-duty wire mesh and robust repairs to ensure your property remains secure. Loft Remediation Sanitisation: If squirrels have damaged your loft, we offer a full clean-up service. This includes the safe removal of contaminated insulation, thorough cleaning and disinfection of the affected space, and the installation of new, high-quality insulation. Preventative Advice: We provide practical, tailored advice to help Lewes homeowners make their properties less attractive to squirrels in the future, such as securing outdoor food sources or pruning overhanging branches.
