Professional Squirrel Control in Bristol & Somerset
Humane trapping plus professional proofing to prevent re-entry
Grey squirrels in your loft or roof space are more than a nuisance. They cause serious structural damage. Their constant gnawing on electrical cables creates a real fire risk, while damage to water pipes can lead to flooding. Loft insulation is often torn apart for nesting material.
At Fur & Feather Pest Control, we provide specialist grey squirrel control across Bristol, North Somerset, and the surrounding areas. Our technicians use humane trapping methods followed by professional proofing to prevent re-entry.
Squirrels are most commonly found in lofts between January-February (breeding season) and again in June-July. However, problems can occur at any time of year. If you hear heavy scratching or running sounds in your loft, especially during daytime, squirrels are the likely cause.
