Squirrel Pest Control in Letchworth, Hertfordshire
Signs You May Have Squirrels in Your Loft
Squirrels commonly enter properties through gaps in roofing, damaged tiles, soffits, or vents. Once inside, they can build nests and begin causing damage very quickly.
Common signs of a squirrel infestation include:
Scratching or running noises in the loft during the daytime
Chewed wood, insulation, or electrical cables
Droppings in loft spaces
Visible damage to roof edges or fascia boards
Squirrels frequently entering or leaving your roofline
If you notice any of these signs, itβs important to act quickly to prevent further damage. π Call us on 01462 374030
Why Squirrels in Your Home Can Cause Serious Damage
While squirrels are common in outdoor environments, they can become highly destructive once inside a property.
Structural Damage
Squirrels constantly gnaw to control the growth of their teeth. This means they often chew through wooden beams, plasterboard, insulation, and roof structures.
Electrical Hazards
Chewed electrical cables can create serious fire risks, particularly in loft spaces where damage may go unnoticed.
Noise and Disturbance
Squirrels are active during the daytime, often creating persistent scratching and movement noises in loft spaces.
