Call 020 4579 9459How do I tell squirrels from rats?
Squirrels are usually active in daylight and can sound heavier. An inspection is the safest way to confirm.
Can I seal the hole now?
Not before checking whether an animal or dependent young may be inside.
Are grey squirrels protected?
Control must follow current wildlife law and welfare requirements. We explain the suitable options.
Will you inspect the roof?
We assess accessible loft and roofline evidence and explain if specialist access is needed.
