🐿️ How We Provide Squirrel Control in London
Fanatic Pest Control
Same Day Services
At Fanatic Pest Control, we understand the challenges that squirrels can pose in urban environments like London. While these creatures may seem cute, squirrels can cause significant damage to properties, pose health risks, and create safety hazards. Whether they’re nesting in your attic, chewing through wiring, or causing a mess in your garden, it’s essential to take swift action. Here’s how we provide comprehensive squirrel control services to keep your home and business safe.
1. Thorough Inspection and Assessment 🔍
The first step in our squirrel control service is a detailed inspection of your property. Our expert technicians will carefully examine your home or business for signs of squirrel activity. Squirrels are notorious for nesting in attics, walls, chimneys, and roof spaces, but they may also take shelter in gardens and outbuildings.
During the inspection, we look for signs such as chewed wiring, gnaw marks, droppings, and nests. We also identify potential entry points, like open vents, gaps in rooflines, or cracks in walls, where squirrels might be getting in. A thorough inspection helps us understand the extent of the problem and allows us to create an effective plan tailored to your specific needs.
2. Humane Squirrel Removal 🐿️
Once we’ve identified the areas of concern, our team will implement a humane squirrel removal strategy. We use live traps to safely capture squirrels without harm. This method ensures that no squirrels are injured or killed, aligning with our commitment to ethical, environmentally friendly pest control. After capturing the squirrels, we will relocate them to a safe area, far from your property, to prevent them from returning.
3. Prevention and Exclusion 🛑
Squirrel removal is just one part of the solution. To keep your property squirrel-free, we focus on preventing future infestations. Our team will seal off any entry points that squirrels may use to enter your home or business. This can include sealing gaps around windows and doors, repairing holes in roofing, and installing mesh over vents or chimneys.
We also advise on ways to secure outdoor spaces, such as keeping bird feeders away from the building and trimming trees that provide easy access to rooftops. By eliminating potential entry points and food sources, we significantly reduce the likelihood of future infestations.
4. Damage Repair and Cleanup 🧹
Squirrels can cause a lot of damage, especially when they nest in attics or chew through electrical wires. After the removal process, we’ll inspect the affected areas for damaged insulation, chewed wires, or contaminated nesting areas. We provide repairs to fix any damage and cleaning services to remove droppings, nesting materials, and debris. This ensures that your property remains safe and hygienic.
5. Ongoing Monitoring and Maintenance 🔄
At Fanatic Pest Control, we believe in providing long-term solutions. After your property is squirrel-free, we recommend ongoing monitoring to ensure the problem doesn’t return. Our team can schedule follow-up visits to check for new signs of activity and perform additional preventive measures if necessary. This ensures that your property stays protected against future squirrel invasions.

🐿️ Why We Need Squirrel Control in London
While squirrels may seem harmless and even charming, in urban environments like London, they can quickly turn from cute creatures to troublesome pests. Squirrel infestations can result in significant damage to properties, safety hazards, and potential health risks. Here’s why squirrel control is essential in London:
1. Property Damage 🏚️
Squirrels are notorious for chewing through wood, plastic, and even metal. They often cause damage by gnawing on electrical wires, roofing materials, and insulation. This can lead to costly repairs and, in some cases, increase the risk of fire hazards if electrical wires are damaged. Squirrels are also known to nest in attics, which can lead to the destruction of structural elements such as beams, insulation, and even the roofing itself. Their nesting activities can block chimneys and vents, potentially causing further damage to your home.
2. Health Risks 🦠
Squirrels can carry a variety of diseases that pose serious health risks to humans. They are known to carry parasites such as fleas, ticks, and mites, which can be transmitted to humans and pets. Additionally, squirrels may carry salmonella, Leptospirosis, and lyme disease, which can be spread through contact with their droppings, urine, or saliva. Their nests can also accumulate bacteria and fungi, further increasing the risk of infection. Proper squirrel control ensures that your home remains safe and sanitary.
3. Safety Hazards ⚠️
Squirrels can create safety hazards, especially when they invade rooftops or other high areas. Their presence in attics or on roofs can lead to structural instability, and falling debris or insulation materials can become a risk for anyone around the property. In addition, squirrels are often found near roads or highways, and their sudden movements can cause traffic accidents, making squirrel control in urban areas important for public safety.
4. Noise Disruptions 🔊
Squirrels are highly active creatures, particularly at dawn and dusk. Their constant scratching, scurrying, and gnawing noises in attics, walls, or ceilings can be extremely disruptive, particularly in quiet residential areas. This noise can lead to sleep disturbances, affecting your quality of life. Effective squirrel control eliminates these disruptions, helping you maintain peace and quiet in your home or business.
5. Preventing Future Infestations 🔒
Without proper squirrel control, one infestation can quickly turn into a cycle. Squirrels reproduce rapidly, and their natural instinct to seek shelter and food in urban spaces can lead to recurring problems. Professional squirrel control focuses not only on removing the current infestation but also on preventing future ones by sealing entry points and offering long-term preventive solutions.
6. Protecting the Environment 🌍
Unchecked squirrel populations can also have an impact on local ecosystems. In some cases, they can displace native species and cause imbalances in the environment. By controlling squirrel populations in urban areas, we can help preserve the natural balance and ensure the health of local wildlife.
