Tips for Squirrel Control

Block any access points using chicken wire firmly fixed, or wedged into the access points

Repair damaged tiles, soffit or barge boarding.

Remove any overhanging branches or creepers that may be used to gain access to the roof. When

removing the tree branches, ensure that the trees are not subject to a tree preservation order

Check your roof space periodically to ensure that any treatment is carried out at the earliest opportunity.

Grey squirrels are expert acrobats and climbers and will make ready use of nearby plants and trees for access to a nest site.

Grey squirrels are most active during mid morning and mid afternoon. Therefore any exclusion work

should be carried out at these times, to ensure that the nest is empty.
