Squirrel Pest Control in Surrey & West Sussex
Humane Grey Squirrel Removal – Protect Your Attic and Property
Hearing loud scratching or gnawing in your loft or ceiling?
You may have grey squirrels nesting in your attic, one of the most destructive wildlife pests in the UK.
At Ranger Pest Control, we provide fast, humane squirrel control across Surrey and West Sussex, protecting homes, loft spaces, and roof structures from damage caused by nesting squirrels.
Grey squirrels often enter through loose tiles, soffits, vents, and fascia gaps, and once inside, they can chew through wiring, insulation, and timber, leading to costly repairs — and even fire risks.
Our Professional Squirrel Removal Programme
Our squirrel treatment consists of a three-visit programme, spaced approximately two weeks apart, designed to trap, remove, and prevent re-entry.
- Inspection & Survey
- Full property inspection to identify entry points, nests, and chew damage.
- Assessment of loft insulation, joists, and fascia boards.
- Use of motion and activity indicators where needed to confirm infestation levels.
- Humane Trapping & Removal
- Placement of approved live-capture or kill traps in active areas.
- Traps are checked regularly in compliance with Wildlife & Countryside Act standards.
- Only humane, legally permitted control methods are used.
- Proofing & Follow-Up
- Once activity ceases, we seal entry points using rodent-proof mesh, soffit clips, or wire wool.
- Recommendations provided for roof repairs or ventilation covers to prevent future nesting.
- Optional seasonal maintenance visits to prevent re-infestation.
Squirrels are especially active during spring and autumn nesting seasons. Acting early prevents long-term roof damage.
Signs of a Squirrel Infestation
- Loud thumping or scurrying noises in lofts or ceilings (often during daylight)
- Gnawed wood, chewed electrical cables, or insulation damage
- Droppings or nesting material in loft corners
- Broken or displaced roof tiles and soffits
- Persistent entry or exit noise at dawn and dusk
If you notice these signs, contact Ranger Pest Control immediately — untreated infestations can cause serious roof and fire hazards.
