MAIN FEATURES OF OUR SQUIRREL RIDDANCE PROGRAM


FINDING AND BLOCKING INGRESS POINTS

We use long lasting professional preparations to identify and seal up openings that mice are using to get in and out of your living space. Careful consideration is taken to ensure that this is done
effectively throughout the treatment.


USING PROFESSIONAL GRADE TRAPS

Professional grade traps are used to ensure squirrels are dispatched humanely. These are different to consumer grade variants. When used effectively they provide an effective treatment against squirrel activity. This should also been done once any proofing requirements are met.


INSPECTING AND MONITORING THOROUGHLY

Inspecting and monitoring the premises is very important as we zone in on activity. Monitoring the consumption of rodenticides and ensuring the treatments stay effective means your problem is solved quicker.

MICE CONTROL F.A.Q'S


Q: BEST CONTROL METHOD?

Trapping is usually the best method to stop activity once it has made its way into your property. This must be done according to The Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981).

Q: HOW LONG DO THEY LIVE?


There are often two litters a year, with the young usually weaned at around 10 weeks of age and they reach sexual maturity at 10-12 months old. The average lifespan is approximately 9 years.

Q: FIRST SIGNS OF ACTIVITY?


Normally sounds in the attic area. It also leads to problems with wiring as squirrels gnaw on objects to keep their front teeth healthy.

Q: HOW QUICKLY DO THEY BREED?


Squirrels have two breeding seasons every year; the first litters are normally born in late February and March. Squirrels have a second litter between June and July. The average litter size is 3 or 4.

Q: COST TO GET PEST CONTROL?


The cost usually starts from £150. This price varies greatly depending on many factors.

Q: HOW TO PREVENT THEM?


To get rid of squirrels check your garden and remove any possible food sources squirrels use, such as nuts, vegetables, fungi, and fruit. Also, ensure loft areas are checked to ensure no gaps are present including ensuring no tree branches cause damage to roof tiles.
