Squirrel Pest Control

Inoculand offers a complete squirrel pest control service. We do trapping, baiting and proofing. Squirrels are amongst the most versatile of pests, certainly the most agile rodents, and can access our homes from many places. The most common way that squirrels enter our home is via a gap at the eave of the roof. If there is a gap, Grey squirrels will take advantage of it and enter the attic to nest. Squirrels in the attic will often keep the tenants awake during the night because of the noise they make. Another tell signs are th squirrel droppings that are quite large and roundish. Squirrels in the loft will often cause an extensive amount of damage on the insulation wool and beams. They can also damage electrical cable and cause them to shortcircuit and burn. We know how to get rid of squirrels. We can catch the squirrel in a trap, we can use squirrel poison and put in place squirrel deterrents. But often, the most effective strategy to prevent reinfestation  of squirrels in roof, is to carry out the proofing from within the roofspace or from outside at fascia level. Squirrel pest control is highly regulated and only Grey Squirrel bait can be used. Grey Squirrels are vermin when they are in the house, and they are an inviding species when they are outdoors. As such you cannot release them in the wild and must dispatch them. February/March and May/June are when squirrels are most active. A squirrel nest in the loft will often take the shape of an igloo. And this is why most of the damage in the attic will occure. Inoculand squirrel control services are split in first the squirrel removal, then the attic proofing. Doing the proofing right away would risk to trap the squirrel withing the roof space. Doing so would go against the animal cruelty legislation, but also would force the squirrel to dig its way out desesperately. Squirrels can even end up being trapped many floors below and get through the plaster boards and end up inside the living space wreaking avoke.
