Squirrels
An Overview Of Our Squirrel Pest Control Services
What are the clear signs of a Grey Squirrel infestation?
Noise: Scratching and scurrying in the loft are the most evident signs of a squirrel infestation, which is why the animal is sometimes mistaken for rats.
Internal Damage: If you investigate the commotion in the loft, it’s possible that you’ll uncover internal damage from the animal’s continual nibbling on various items in the area where it tried to gather nesting materials.
Drays: In the forks of trees, squirrels construct nests called “drays” out of twigs and leaves. The drays are used as breeding grounds and refuge.
External damage: Squirrels often peel trees’ bark, which is a clear visual evidence.
