Understanding Grey Squirrel Infestations
Common Signs of Squirrel Activity
The grey squirrel, an introduced species, is now one of the UK’s most common pest rodents. While they may appear cute, they’re highly destructive when they nest in homes or commercial buildings.
Squirrels often enter lofts, attics, and roof voids, where they chew through wood and insulation to make nests. Their constant gnawing can lead to electrical faults, leaks, and structural damage.
Scratching or thumping noises in the loft, especially early morning or at dusk
Chewed cables, beams, or insulation
Droppings similar in size to rat droppings but rounded at the ends
Torn loft insulation used for nesting
Entry holes around soffits, fascia boards, or roof tiles
If you hear loud noises in your roof space, particularly during daylight hours, there’s a good chance you’re dealing with squirrels — not rats or mice.
Our Squirrel Control Process
We follow a proven, step-by-step approach to ensure safe, legal, and lasting squirrel removal.
1. Site Inspection
We carry out a detailed inspection of your property to confirm squirrel activity, identify access points, and assess nesting areas.
2. Safe & Legal Trapping
We use approved live-capture traps, checked daily, to safely remove squirrels from your property. These traps are set strategically in roof spaces, lofts, and external access routes.
3. Proofing & Repairs
Once the squirrels are removed, we seal all entry points to prevent re-entry. This may include repairing fascia boards, blocking gaps under roof tiles, and reinforcing vents or eaves.
4. Cleaning & Sanitisation
Squirrels leave droppings, urine, and nesting materials that can cause odours and attract other pests. We provide professional loft cleaning and disinfection to restore hygiene.
5. Follow-Up & Prevention Advice
We monitor the site to confirm all activity has ceased and advise you on simple preventive steps to keep squirrels away permanently.
Our Approach to Squirrel Control
Our goal is always long-term prevention, not just short-term removal. We use proven control techniques that target both current activity and future risks.
Our rodent control experts carry out a full inspection, identify entry points, and install professional-grade bait stations and traps. We also provide digital reports with photos showing proofing recommendations and housekeeping advice.
Our Rodent Control Programme
Live trapping and humane removal in accordance with UK law
Proofing and exclusion work to block access points
Roof and loft inspections using thermal and motion-sensor tools
Sanitising and cleaning of infested areas

Legal & Ethical Squirrel Control
The grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is classed as an invasive non-native species under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. This means they must be controlled humanely and cannot be released once captured.
All of our treatments strictly follow UK law and the Code of Best Practice on the Use of Traps. We never use poisons or methods that risk harming other wildlife.
Eco-Friendly Pest Control
At Newmarket Pest Solutions, we take environmental responsibility seriously. Our technicians are trained under the Think Wildlife Campaign to ensure all methods are safe, sustainable, and compliant with the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU).
We prioritise non-toxic and mechanical methods first, only using stronger measures when absolutely necessary.
