Grey squirrels are persistent rodents that enter lofts, roof spaces, wall cavities, and outbuildings in search of warmth, shelter, and nesting areas. Once inside, they can gnaw electrical wiring, timber, insulation, and pipework, causing costly damage and ongoing noise disturbances in homes and commercial properties. Squirrel infestations often begin through damaged roofing, gaps around eaves, vents, or uncapped chimneys, allowing squirrels to access hidden areas of a property unnoticed.
Lofts, attics, and roof spaces used for nesting
Damaged roof tiles, soffits, fascia boards, and eaves
Wall cavities and crawl spaces with easy access points
Garages, sheds, barns, and commercial outbuildings
Properties near woodland, trees, or overhanging branches
Homes and businesses with exposed gaps or ageing roofing materials
Scratching & Scurrying Noises: Often heard in lofts, roof spaces, and wall cavities, especially during early morning or evening.
Gnaw Marks: Damage to timber, insulation, pipework, cables, and stored items caused by constant chewing.
Droppings: Small, dark droppings found in lofts, attics, or around entry points.
Strong Odours: Unpleasant smells caused by nesting materials, urine, or dead squirrels.
Visible Nesting Materials: Leaves, insulation, cardboard, and other debris gathered in roof spaces or lofts.
Property Damage: Chewed roof felt, damaged vents, lifted tiles, or gaps around soffits and fascia boards.
Where to Look:
Check lofts, roof voids, eaves, wall cavities, garages, sheds, and around roofline entry points. Squirrel activity is especially common in properties near trees, woodland, or overhanging branches.

Every pest control situation is unique. The treatment required for your property depends on several factors including the size of your property and the extent of the problem you’re facing. Because no two jobs are the same, we don’t publish standard prices – instead, we provide you with a personalised quote based on your specific circumstances.
When you contact PGM, we’ll discuss your pest issue and gather the details we need to give you an accurate quote. Our quotes are fixed-price with no hidden charges or unexpected costs – what we quote is what you pay. In certain situations, we may recommend a property inspection before finalising your quote. This allows us to properly assess the situation, and ensure we recommend the right treatment approach. If an inspection is necessary, we’ll explain this to you and let you know whether there’s any charge involved.
