How Do Squirrels Get Into Lofts and Roof Spaces in Cambridge?
Everybody looks for the hole. The more useful question is how the squirrel reached the roofline in the first place, because that is often the cheaper thing to remove.
Squirrel Trapping in Cambridge — £280 fixed cost. See the Squirrel Control Cambridge page →
How They Reach the Roof
- Overhanging branches that touch the roof.
- Climbing ivy or other plants on an exterior wall.
- Drainpipes, which they climb easily.
- Fences, sheds and bin stores next to the building.
- Cables and wires running to the house.
Common Entry Points
- Gaps at the eaves, soffits and fascias.
- Damaged or lifted roof tiles and slates.
- Loose or gnawed barge boards and verges.
- Damaged or missing vent covers.
- Gaps around pipes and cables that pass into the roof.
- Hatch or roof-light edges that no longer fit.
Squirrels Make Holes Bigger
A squirrel can chew a small gap into a larger one, particularly in timber. A hole you can see may have started as a smaller defect.
Free Fixes That Help
Cutting back a branch, taking ivy off the wall or moving a bin store away from the building costs nothing and is often the most effective single thing done to a property. We will tell you which applies to yours.
Securing Entry Points Properly
Entry points are sealed once the roof space is confirmed clear. Proofing is priced separately by time, and roof repairs such as repointing a verge or replacing rotten boards are roofing work. Block the hole while the animal is still inside, and you will trap it in the loft.
Our guide to stopping squirrels returning covers the next step.
Common Questions
Can squirrels fit through small gaps?
They can enlarge gaps by chewing, so a small defect can become a larger one.
Should I block the hole myself?
Not while you think the animal is inside. Call us first.
Do trees need cutting back?
Branches that touch the roof give access, so cutting them back often helps.
Can you find the entry point?
Yes. A survey of the roof space and roofline is part of the service.
