Squirrel Pest Control in Walkden services

If squirrels invade your home or business, they become a real nuisance. Squirrels gnaw on wood, chew through electrical wiring, and tear up insulation to build their nests. Their constant activity in lofts, attics, and wall cavities can lead to costly damage and even fire risks.

If you’ve noticed scratching noises, droppings, or chewed wires, you might have a squirrel problem. Dealing with them quickly is crucial to prevent further damage. Our professional pest control can help safely and effectively remove them.

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. We can also provide advice and guidance for entry points and prevention. If proofing is required, this can be provided as an additional service to help reduce the chances of future infestations.

Why squirrel pest control in Walkden is necessary

Grey squirrels are a non-native species introduced to the UK from North America in the 1800s. Effective squirrel pest control is crucial in controlling grey squirrel populations, which can cause serious damage to homes, commercial properties, public health, and the environment. Squirrels damage trees by stripping their bark, which can significantly shorten their lifespan, and they are known to chew through wires, raid bird feeders, eat bird eggs, and nest in attics, causing considerable disruption and damage.

How to deter squirrels from your property

Scents that repel

Squirrels will find certain smells offensive, like peppermint oil and coffee grounds. Sprinkle coffee grounds around your garden and the base of trees to deter them. For peppermint oil, mix it with water in a spray bottle and apply it around your property regularly to keep squirrels at bay.

‘Plant’ food they don’t like

There are certain foods that squirrels can’t stand, such as daffodil bulbs, mint plants and chilli flakes. To help deter them, try scattering these around your outdoor space.

Hide their food

Hide or relocate their food to deter them from your property. Regularly clear away fallen nuts, acorns, and fruit, and relocate food sources to less-used areas of your garden. Also, make sure your bins are always securely closed to prevent attracting squirrels.

Squirrel-proof your bird feeders

Squirrel-proof your bird feeder by putting a metal cage over it so only birds can access the feed inside. However, squirrels can chew through metal so it is only a temporary solution.

Signs you’ve got a squirrel problem Signs you’ve got a squirrel problem

Droppings

Droppings are one of the main signs of a squirrel infestation. Typically, the droppings are dark, clustered, and have pointed ends. They're about the size of a grain of rice.
Make sure to avoid contact with the droppings as they may carry diseases and leave the dropping removal to Able’s pest control experts.

Damage around your home

You may notice property damage around your home or garden, common 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

In many cases, you'll hear them before you see them. Squirrels often make scurrying and scampering sounds, along with chewing and scratching noises. If you hear these telltale sounds, call Able for squirrel pest control in Walkden.

Squirrel footprints

Squirrel footprints are small and distinctive, with four toes on the front paw and five on the back, each measuring about two inches. If you spot these tracks in your garden or home, it could be a squirrel.
