They look cute darting up trees and raiding bird feeders, but when squirrels slip into buildings, trouble follows. At North Essex Pest Control, we pride ourselves on delivering Squirrel control services that not only remove the immediate problem but also prevent future infestations.In this post, we will discuss the real risks these pests bring, explain why our approach beats the rest, share case stories, and share client praise that shows we deliver.

Greys nest in lofts and roof voids, tearing through wires, timber, and insulation as they prepare a cosy den. Torn cables can spark fires, chewed beams weaken roofs, and lost insulation lets heat leap out, pushing bills up. What starts as one or two furry visitors can snowball into a noisy, costly mess in days. That is why calling in experts early can save time, money, and heartache.

Case Study: Squirrel Infestation in a Colchester Home

A recent client called after hearing scratching in the attic for days. She had hired another pest company that set traps but never found how the squirrels got inside. Within weeks, the rodents were back.

On our visit, we spotted gaps under the eaves and cracked tiles. We ran a humane trapping plan, safely removed the animals, repaired the roof, and sealed every entry point. The homeowner was delighted and has stayed squirrel-free ever since.
