Controlling Squirrels is a very sensitive topic. Customers we work with often say “but they look so cute”. However the damage they can do in a loft is more likely to have people saying ‘AHHH!
I get many residential calls for Squirrel problems. In most instances the problem starts with a missing brick or missing cement high up on the outer wall of the house near to the guttering. Squirrels can climb up walls and don’t need a drain pipe like some people think. Squirrels are normally around in the day time and are very noisy inlike Rodents which are heard more at night time.
If you think you have a problem with Squirrels, don’t leave it thinking they will move on. Get some help as soon as possible and avoid the risk of your home catching fire
