ARE SQUIRRELS NESTING IN YOUR PROPERTY?
It’s time to take back control with Furness Environmental Services. Squirrels may look charming however, they’re an extremely invasive pest that can be hugely destructive to property, forests, and other wildlife. These large rodents can nest where you least expect, calling your loft or attic space home without your knowledge. If you suspect this to be the case, it’s important you call Ulverston's professionals.
As grey squirrels are classed as an Invasive Alien Species (IAS) here in the UK, there are certain rules we must follow when it comes to their capture and removal. To prevent the harm and distress caused to the animal, we’ll always look to non-lethal removal strategies first, and will work in line with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 for any further action required.
GREY SQUIRREL INFESTATIONS; WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR
Loud scratching and rustling noises, particularly during the night, tend to be the most reported signs of these invasive pests. However, you should also watch out for:
◉ Droppings and the smell of urine
◉ The evidence of gnawing, similarly to rats and mice
◉ Nesting in and around the property
◉ An increased squirrel presence around the garden or outdoor area

“Thoroughly recommend FES. They are extremely responsive, came the same day I called even though it was Sunday. Dave is hugely knowledgeable, knowledge which he shares, and very thorough, not just checking where I knew there was a problem, but around the house and found other issues that I didn’t even know about! And he doesn’t just treat the problem, but tries to find the source of the issue, checking inside & out, though in my case difficult as I am joined to other properties. Dave is a pleasure to deal with, provides a fantastic service and is so much better than another company that I’ve had out before. FES will definitely be who I call again if I have a problem in the future, though I am hoping that won’t need to be any time soon!”
