Our fully licensed technicians are highly trained to operate in a range of environments, using the latest technology and research for effective squirrel control in London, keeping your premises clean and pest-free. We offer flexible service packages, backed by comprehensive insurance and tailored to fit your budget and requirements.
1. Detailed Property Inspection
We begin every squirrel control service with a detailed property inspection. Our BPCA-certified pest controllers assess all lofts, cavities, roofs, and exterior spaces to identify signs of activity, access routes, and nesting sites. This step allows us to evaluate the scale of the infestation, uncover all potential entry points, and assess the level of property damage already caused by the squirrels.
2. Customised Treatment Plan
Based on the findings, we create a customised plan to eliminate the problem safely and efficiently. Each plan is tailored to your building’s layout and squirrel activity level. We never use poisons. Instead, we use humane traps, exclusion strategies, and deterrents. Our plan includes immediate actions as well as long-term solutions to prevent squirrels from returning to your premises.
3. Active Squirrel Removal
Our technicians implement humane traps and exclusion devices to remove squirrels without causing harm. These methods are compliant with UK wildlife law and designed to ensure guaranteed eradication with minimal disruption. We act swiftly to remove all active pests, especially in areas where squirrels have caused significant damage to insulation, wiring, or wooden structures.
4. Rodent-Proofing Entry Points
Once squirrels are removed, we seal all entry points using durable, tamper-resistant materials. This includes repairing damaged soffits, installing wire mesh barriers, and blocking cavities or weak spots in your roofline. Our team ensures the property is fully secured to prevent squirrels (or any other rodents) from re-entering and causing further damage.
5. Follow-up and Monitoring Visits
Squirrel control doesn’t end after removal. We conduct follow-up visits to check traps, confirm eradication, and inspect previously active zones. If any signs of renewed activity appear, we take immediate action. Our aftercare monitoring gives you confidence that your squirrel problem has been resolved permanently.
6. Expert Prevention Advice
We provide you with expert prevention advice to help keep squirrels away from your premises. This includes recommendations on pruning overhanging trees, removing food sources, securing outdoor bins, and protecting loft insulation. We also advise on maintaining barriers and keeping potential re-entry routes sealed for long-term peace of mind.
