How do I know if I have a squirrel problem?

If you think you’ve spotted signs of a squirrel infestation, you’re in the right place. This quick guide to mice will help you determine if it is in fact squirrels you are dealing with.

There are a number of tell-tale signs that you have a squirrel infestation:

Scratching or rustling noises coming from your attic or wall cavity.
Droppings and smell of urine in the loft area; our technicians can help you confirm the source of the droppings.
Sightings of squirrels around the roof area.
Holes or damage in your insulation or exterior.

Grey squirrels were introduced to the UK in the victorian era and have since colonised 90% of the squirrel population in the UK. This has led to a decline in the numbers of the native red squirrel, a protected species.

Grey squirrels have a silver-grey fur coat with white underside. They grow to between 24-26cm in length and have long whiskers, big eyes and small ears.

Grey squirrels create nests in trees called dreys; these are easy to spot in winter when there are fewer leaves. Without available trees, squirrels will make themselves home in an attic or loft space.

At Beaver we practice Integrated Pest Management (IPM). This is a sustainable approach to managing pests by combining biological, cultural, physical and chemical tools in a way that minimises economic, health, and environmental risks.

Customer Reviews

“The operative guy, Jason, was personable and experienced. On the first visit he almost completely eradicated the problem, which was causing me health difficulties. On the return visit he identified some further problems which I hope are eradicated. There is a four week guarantee after the second visit, which has given me a lot of peace of mind.”

“Excellent service from Tyrelle. He was very informative and friendly and went above and beyond to fill holes and lay bait.”

Residential Customer, London: “Roy from Beaver was extremely knowledgeable and identified the source of our problem quickly. He also gave advice to help rectify the issue. He was very informative and helpful. He laid down poision in the affected area and came back 2 weeks later as agreed. The Beaver team were very helpful and provided by email a detailed report on the matter that they had addressed.”

Should I use a professional company or treat them myself?

Using a professional company is the quickest and most effective way to get rid of mice. The training given to professional technicians is not just about how to treat pest but also, and more importantly, how to do it safely so no harm comes to other animals, including pets and other wildlife such as hedgehogs and birds.
