Leading Squirrel Pest Control Specialists

As the leading provider of squirrel pest control services, we are not only able to competently eradicate your problems but we can also prevent them from re-occurring through proofing - the blocking of access points.

When squirrels find a place to nest, it becomes their territory, and they will protect it at all costs - especially when they have young. This means they can become very agitated and even aggressive when disturbed. It is not a good idea to tackle this type of problem on your own.

Do Not Block Entry Holes Yourself

There is a common misconception that blocking the animal's entry hole will remove the problem. This is unfortunately not the case. By blocking the hole, the adults can no longer reach their nest, and often their young. This does the opposite of deterring them, encouraging an attack on any blocking work.

If they are unsuccessful in getting through, they will attack fascia boards until they are. We have seen this happen numerous times, and it can result in hundreds or even thousands of pounds worth of damage. Do not block entry holes until squirrel pest control and eradication is complete.
