Squirrel Pest Control in Hitchin, Hertfordshire
Why Squirrels Are a Problem in Hitchin Homes
Grey squirrels are a common pest in residential areas throughout Hitchin. When they gain access to roof spaces or lofts, they can cause significant damage.
Common issues caused by squirrels include:
Chewing electrical wiring (fire hazard)
Damaging loft insulation
Gnawing wooden beams and roof timbers
Creating nests in loft spaces
Contaminating areas with droppings and urine
Loud scratching and running noises in ceilings
Because squirrel teeth grow continuously, they must constantly chew materials to keep them worn down, which often leads to costly property damage.
Signs You Have Squirrels in Your Loft
Many homeowners first realise they have squirrels when they hear unusual noises coming from their roof.
Common signs of a squirrel infestation include:
Scratching or running sounds in the loft
Activity mostly during the day
Chewed holes around roof edges or soffits
Nesting materials such as leaves or shredded insulation
Droppings in loft spaces
Seeing squirrels entering roof gaps
Unlike rats or mice, squirrels are active during daylight hours, so daytime noises are a strong indicator.
If you notice these signs, itβs important to arrange professional pest control quickly. Contact us now on 01462 374030
