Squirrel Control London
Scratching or movement in a loft may come from squirrels, rodents or birds. Identifying the animal and its access route comes before proofing. Contact Pestsman to discuss a squirrel inspection and the practical options for your London property.
Discuss the signs, access and the scope of an inspection.
Describe when and where activity occurs
Daytime roof activity, visible squirrels entering a gap and damage around eaves can help an investigation. Noise on its own is inconclusive. Watch from ground level and note the entry point without climbing onto the roof or reaching into a nest.
Check access before blocking a gap
An inspection needs to consider the species, entry route and whether animals or dependent young may be inside. Explain loft access, damaged roof areas and any recent building work. Avoid sealing openings before the situation has been assessed: this can trap an animal in the building.
Agree lawful, humane work
The proposed control and exclusion work must match the species and circumstances. Grey squirrels must not be caught and released elsewhere. Ask the technician to explain the method, any monitoring arrangements and when building repairs or proofing can be carried out. Specialist access or roof repairs may require a separate contractor.
Getting ready safely
Keep people and pets away from the affected loft and do not disturb insulation or nesting material. Tell the team about visible cable damage or access hazards before the visit. Make ground-level and loft access available only where it is safe to do so.
After the activity is resolved
Review the recommended repairs and entry points rather than relying on a single intervention. Record renewed sounds or sightings and report the pattern. Confirm whether follow-up checks, proofing materials and building repairs are part of the quote before work begins.
