Hearing loud scratching, running or banging noises coming from your loft can be a worrying experience. If the noises are particularly noticeable during the daytime, grey squirrels could be the cause.
Once squirrels gain access to a roof space they can cause considerable damage. They may tear apart insulation to create nesting areas, gnaw timber and stored belongings and damage electrical cables.
Pest Services Berkshire provides professional grey squirrel control throughout Berkshire, helping homeowners, landlords and businesses identify squirrel activity, deal with the infestation and investigate how the animals are getting into the building.
Whether you've actually seen squirrels entering your roof or you're simply hearing suspicious noises above the ceiling, our experienced pest controllers can investigate the problem and recommend an appropriate solution.

Squirrels are often heard before they are seen. Unlike rats and mice, grey squirrels are active primarily during the daytime, so the time you're hearing noises can provide an important clue. Common signs include:
Professional pest control designed to deal with the current squirrel problem while also investigating how the animals gained access.
Our technicians understand the behaviour of grey squirrels and the typical places they use to gain access to buildings.
Squirrel damage can become progressively worse, so arranging an inspection early makes sense.

The grey squirrel is the species responsible for most squirrel infestations affecting UK buildings. Outside, they're a familiar sight in gardens, parks and woodland. The problem begins when a squirrel discovers that a roof space provides somewhere dry, protected and relatively warm.
Once access has been established, squirrels may return repeatedly. They are strong, agile climbers and can reach roofs using:
A relatively small weakness around a roof edge can potentially be enlarged through gnawing.
From a squirrel's point of view, a loft can be an attractive environment. It's protected from bad weather, relatively quiet and may contain plenty of soft insulation suitable for nesting. Squirrels can investigate weaknesses around:
Once an animal has successfully used an access point, simply hoping it leaves permanently is unlikely to be a sensible long-term strategy.
Grey squirrels are rodents, and gnawing is natural behaviour. That can become a serious problem inside a building.
Squirrels can gnaw electrical cables. Damaged wiring can create electrical faults and potentially increase fire risk.
Insulation may be torn apart, compressed or moved as squirrels establish nesting areas.
Persistent gnawing can damage timber and other materials within the roof space.
Squirrels may exploit existing damage and enlarge openings to gain easier access.
Boxes, fabrics and other items stored in lofts may be damaged.
Any damage discovered around important loft services should be properly investigated.
The existing Pest Services Berkshire rodent information specifically warns that grey squirrels can damage timber, insulation and wiring.
Finding the access point can be just as important as dealing with the squirrels themselves. Our technicians can investigate likely routes around the roofline. Potential entry points include:
It is also worth looking at the surrounding environment. Overhanging branches and nearby structures may provide squirrels with relatively easy access to the roof.
Controlling the current infestation doesn't automatically prevent another squirrel using the same entry point later. That's why proofing and prevention matter. Depending upon the property, recommendations may include:
The order matters. You don't want to blindly seal an opening while an animal is still inside the roof space. Control the infestation first, establish that activity has ceased and then deal appropriately with the access route.
Most squirrel enquiries begin with noises in the loft. Customers often describe something running across the ceiling, scratching around the eaves or making surprisingly loud banging noises early in the morning. We provide professional squirrel control for:
Our technician can investigate the roof space, identify signs of squirrel activity and advise on the appropriate next steps.
Squirrels in a rental property can quickly become a problem for both landlord and tenant. Ignoring repeated reports of loft noises can allow damage to become progressively worse. We can help investigate:
