Squirrel Pest Control in Worksop and Surrounding Areas

Grey squirrels may look cute in the garden, but when they move into your loft or roof space, they become a serious pest. Known for chewing through insulation, wiring, and even structural timbers, squirrels can cause costly damage and safety risks. We offer professional squirrel control and humane removal services across Worksop and surrounding towns.

Signs of a Squirrel Problem at Home or Work

Squirrels are most active during early mornings and late afternoons. Once inside, they can create considerable damage in a short time. Look out for these common signs:

  • Scratching or scurrying noises in the loft, especially at dawn and dusk
  • Droppings in loft insulation or around entry points
  • Chewed woodwork, cables or insulation materials
  • Nests made from leaves, paper or loft insulation

Frequently Asked Questions About Squirrel Control

Are grey squirrels protected in the UK?
Grey squirrels are not a protected species and are classed as an invasive pest. Once trapped, UK law requires they are dispatched humanely. It is illegal to release a captured grey squirrel back into the wild. Our technicians follow all current legal and ethical guidelines when dealing with squirrel control.
Why are squirrels in my loft or roof space?
Lofts provide the perfect environment: quiet, warm, dry and safe. Squirrels will often enter through gaps in soffits, vents, roof tiles or broken eaves. They may be looking to nest or escape cold weather. Once inside, they can cause significant noise and damage, particularly by chewing wires and insulation.
Is squirrel damage covered by home insurance?
In many cases, damage caused by rodents or squirrels may not be covered by standard home insurance policies. It's important to act quickly to minimise repair costs. Our reports can support insurance claims if needed, but we recommend checking your policy or speaking to your provider.
How do you remove squirrels safely?
We use approved humane traps, followed by sealing entry points to prevent re-entry. In some cases, one-way exclusion devices may also be used. Once removed, we provide guidance on proofing your home and removing attractants such as overhanging branches or bird feeders near rooflines.
Can you help with recurring squirrel problems?
Yes. If squirrels have accessed your loft before, it's common for the issue to return unless the area is proofed. We offer ongoing monitoring or scheduled inspections, particularly in rural or wooded areas where squirrel activity is more frequent.
