Squirrels control in Durham
Like most rodent pests, including rats and mice, squirrels have sharp teeth that never stop growing. As such, they constantly gnaw and chew through everything, causing considerable damage.
Squirrel droppings and urine can also be a health hazard and carry diseases such as salmonellosis, which can be passed to humans and other animals, such as pets.

Types Of Squirrel Found In The UK
In the UK, there are two types of squirrels: red squirrels and grey squirrels.
Red squirrels are smaller than grey squirrels and native to this country. Because of this, the red squirrel is a protected species and cannot be disturbed, moved or harmed in any way.
Grey squirrels are larger than red squirrels and are the more common type seen in the UK. As an alien species originally from North America, grey squirrel control is permitted, but you need to make sure that you remove them safely and don’t cause unnecessary suffering.
That’s why it’s recommended that you use an experienced pest control company like Invicta.
Invicta’s Pest Control Service Process
Invicta will contact you to understand what issues you are having and how we can help. We will listen and understand the issues you are having and then talk you through the best course of action. A site survey may be required to better understand what the best course of action is required.
Once you’re happy with our treatment plan, we will agree on a suitable time to attend with you and carry out the appropriate treatment for the pest you are having issues with.
Depending on the pest and the scale of the infestation, we may return for follow-up visits to assess the situation and provide additional pest control treatment.
After each visit, we provide detailed photographic reports so you can understand exactly what we have done and what equipment we have used. You’ll be able to rest assured that the job was done professionally and that the vermin are gone for good.

Signs Of A Squirrel Infestation
ThSquirrels are destructive creatures, so common signs of a squirrel infestation inside your property include scratching noises, tooth marks and squirrel droppings.
Squirrels also like to use loft insulation and other soft fabrics as nesting materials, so tears in these from their sharp claws could be a sign of squirrels.
A key indicator is seeing the pests themselves, but this can be tough with squirrels. Squirrels like to enter roof spaces and nest in attics, so they can be hard to spot, and if you don’t see them with your own eyes, you might mistake them for rats.
Thankfully, the team at Invicta has extensive experience in identifying squirrels, so we can confirm the type of infestation you have before we provide squirrel control services.

How Invicta Gets Rid Of Squirrels For Good
Before we conduct squirrel control, Invicta will check your home and garden to see what kind of squirrels are living there. If the issue is red squirrels, we have limited powers, so we will not be able to carry out pest control services.
If we find signs of grey squirrels, we can carry out a squirrel control program to remove them. At the start, we will try to humanely remove them from the area where they have gained access. If this doesn’t work, we will use traps to get rid of the squirrels.
Our team can then provide basic squirrel proofing and advise you on other ways to block access points and keep squirrels at bay, such as cutting back overhanging tree branches, reducing their access to food sources by securing bird feeders and other tactics.
With our help, you can ensure that your home is squirrel-free and that other squirrels don’t take up residence. Our team operates across the North East, covering Newcastle, Durham, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Darlington and the surrounding areas.
If you want to get professional squirrel control across the North East, Invicta is your best bet. Call 01388 309345 for a quote today.
