Why Squirrels Become a Problem?
Squirrels are commonly seen in gardens and outdoor spaces, but when they enter lofts or roof areas, they can quickly become a serious nuisance. Grey squirrels are especially known for finding small access points around roofs, vents, and damaged areas of a property.
Once inside, squirrels often build nests in loft insulation and hidden spaces where they feel safe and undisturbed. Their constant gnawing can damage wood, insulation, pipes, and electrical wiring, which may lead to expensive repairs if the issue is left untreated. Squirrels are highly active during the early morning and evening, and once they settle into a property, they often return repeatedly unless the access points are properly addressed.
Signs You May Have Squirrels in Your Property
Squirrels are usually heard before they are seen, especially when they are active inside lofts or roof spaces. Many people first notice unusual noises early in the morning, as squirrels move around, scratch, or gnaw within hidden areas of the property.
Because squirrels can damage insulation, wiring, and wooden structures over time, it’s important to identify the signs early before the problem becomes more serious. Common signs include:
- Scratching, running, or scurrying sounds in lofts or ceilings
- Gnaw marks on wood, cables, or stored items
- Activity during early mornings or evenings
- Damage around roof edges, vents, or fascia boards
- Nesting materials such as leaves or insulation in loft spaces
- Squirrel droppings in hidden areas
- Strong noises coming from roof spaces
- Visible squirrels regularly entering or leaving the same area
If you’re hearing regular movement in your loft or noticing signs of entry around the roof, it’s best to arrange a professional inspection.

Professional Squirrel Control Service
Squirrels can be difficult to deal with once they gain access to a property. Many people attempt temporary fixes such as blocking entry holes, but if squirrels are still inside or alternative access points exist, the problem often continues. At Parker Pest Control, we focus on identifying how squirrels are entering the property and dealing with the issue safely and effectively. We inspect roof spaces, loft areas, and external access points to understand the level of activity and the areas being affected.
Once identified, we use suitable control methods to manage the problem and help prevent squirrels from returning. We also advise on proofing work and maintenance that may reduce future access opportunities. Our team works carefully to minimise disruption while helping protect your property from further damage caused by nesting and gnawing activity.
