A grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) infestation in your Peacehaven property is more than just a nuisance; it poses serious risks. These rodents possess an insatiable need to gnaw, leading to significant damage and hazards:

• Electrical Fire Risk: Squirrels frequently chew through electrical cables in lofts, posing a severe risk of short circuits and house fires.
• Structural Damage: They gnaw on wooden beams, fascia boards, and roof timbers, compromising the structural integrity of your property.
• Insulation Destruction: Squirrels tear up and contaminate loft insulation for nesting material (dreys), reducing energy efficiency and creating biohazards.
• Contamination: Their urine and faeces contaminate storage areas, increasing the risk of diseases such as salmonella and leptospirosis.
• Disturbing Noise: Constant scratching, scurrying, and gnawing noises from the attic can disrupt sleep and cause considerable stress.

Our comprehensive squirrel control service for Peacehaven residents is designed to eliminate the current problem and prevent future re-infestations. Here is how we help:

• Thorough Property Inspection: We begin with a detailed survey to identify the species, locate all entry points, assess the extent of the infestation, and pinpoint any damage caused.
• Humane Grey Squirrel Removal: Our NPTA-accredited technicians use humane trapping methods to capture grey squirrels. It is crucial to note that under UK law (Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, Schedule 9), grey squirrels are an invasive species and cannot legally be released back into the wild once captured. We handle their removal responsibly and legally.
• Proofing Exclusion: After removal, we meticulously identify and seal all potential entry points. This includes repairing damaged fascia boards, sealing gaps in eaves, and installing robust wire mesh to prevent squirrels from re-entering your property.
• Damage Remediation Sanitisation: If squirrels have caused damage, we offer full loft clearance services. This includes removing contaminated insulation, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the area to eliminate pathogens and odours, and installing new, high-quality insulation where required.
• Preventative Advice: We provide practical advice on how to make your Peacehaven property less attractive to squirrels, helping you maintain a pest-free environment long-term.
