Grey Squirrel Pest Control Services

When squirrels invade your home or property, they can cause serious damage. From chewing through electrical wiring to nesting in attics and walls, these persistent rodents create costly problems for homeowners and businesses. In gardens, they can damage crops and plants.

So, if you’re dealing with a squirrel infestation, our professional pest control is the best way to remove them and reduce the chances of future problems.

Able’s pest controllers are specialists in effective squirrel pest control. Squirrels are removed using baiting and trapping. Non-poisonous bait is used to lure them to the trap as there are no licensed poisons, available for use in the UK. It is also illegal to release grey squirrels into the wild as they are invasive. Our experts will also identify any entry points and advise you on preventive measures to stop them from returning. If proofing is required, this can be provided as an additional service to help to reduce the chances of future infestations. Call us today for fast and reliable pest control.

Expert Squirrel Pest Control Solutions

Grey squirrels, introduced to the UK from North America in the 1800s, have now outnumbered the native red squirrel. They cause significant garden damage by eating bulbs, fruits, and nuts, and stripping bark from trees like sycamore and beech, which can kill them.

Since releasing captured grey squirrels is illegal, we use safe pest control methods to manage infestations. Effective control is essential, as squirrels are territorial and can become aggressive.

To control this invasive species and protect the nation’s remaining red squirrels, contact Able for your ‘squirrel pest control near me.’

Deterring Squirrels From Your Property
Hide their food
Hide or relocate their food to deter squirrels. Clear up fallen nuts, acorns, and fruit, and move food sources to less-used areas of your garden, such as the back. Make sure your bins are always securely closed.
Use repellent scents
There are certain smells that squirrels will find offensive, such as peppermint oil and coffee grounds. Sprinkle coffee grounds in your garden and around trees. For peppermint oil, mix it with water in a spray bottle and spray it around your property.
Scare them with a dog
Most dogs will instinctively chase squirrels, so if you have a pet dog their regular presence may make your garden unappealing to squirrels.

Give them a drink

If squirrels are eating your crops, they might just be thirsty and seeking hydration from the fruit and vegetables. Providing a dish of fresh water might get them to leave your garden alone.

But these are deterrents and are unlikely to be a long-term solution. For effective pest control solutions, contact us, and we’ll send an experienced squirrel exterminator to assist you.

Signs of a Squirrel Infestation
Damage around your home
Squirrel damage can occur when they enter homes or mark their territory in gardens. Key signs include teeth marks on wires, wood, or walls; scattered wood chips; chewed wires; damaged outdoor furniture; ruined bird feeders; and bark stripped from young trees.
Noises
You are more likely to hear a squirrel before you see it. Squirrels make scurrying and scampering sounds, as well as chewing and scratching noises. If you do hear scurrying, scampering, chewing or scratching noises, then call Able Group, before you search ‘squirrel pest control near me’.
Squirrel droppings
If you find squirrel droppings, then you very likely have a squirrel living nearby. The droppings are dark, about the size of a grain of rice, often clustered, and typically have pointed ends.
If you do find droppings, don’t touch them as they may carry diseases. If you are worried you may have a squirrel problem, then call us.
Squirrel footprints
Squirrel footprints are small with the front paws having four toes and the back five. Their tracks are about two inches in length, so if you see them in your garden and home, you also probably have a squirrel living nearby.
