Squirrels

Grey Squirrels occupying a loft space can make an almighty racket. People often describe it as ‘a group of them having a party up there’. Squirrels will continuously run around the loft space in search for nesting materials. these animals are very strong, have sharp teeth and sharp claws. They can even chew through soft metals and hard wood and many other materials used in lofts and on roofing.

Grey squirrels often live and breed in roof spaces where it is safe and warm. They use loft insulation and other materials to create large nests (dreys).Even if you do not see squirrels you may suspect you have them.

The following are signs that squirrel’s may be present:

• Noises in your loft space.
• Droppings shaped like a raisin and ¼ inch.
• Damaged bird feeders.
• Damaged fascia boards and electrical wiring from gnawing.
• Loft insulation dragged into piles.
