Squirrels
Squirrels Control Services
Squirrels can cause significant damage when they enter roof spaces, lofts, or outbuildings. While often seen as harmless wildlife, once inside a property they can quickly become a serious nuisance.
They are known for gnawing on wood, insulation, and electrical wiring, which can lead to noise disturbance and even fire hazards. Squirrels also carry parasites and diseases, posing risks to both health and property.
The Life Cycle of Squirrels
- Breeding: Squirrels typically breed twice a year – in early spring and late summer.
- Litter Size: Each litter usually contains 2–4 young.
- Maturity: Young squirrels become independent after 10–12 weeks.
- Lifespan: In the wild, squirrels live around 2–3 years, but can live longer in protected environments.
What to Look For
What to Look For
Common signs of a squirrel infestation include:

- Nests: Built from leaves, twigs, and insulation materials in loft spaces.
- Droppings: Small, dark droppings similar in size to those of rats.
