Squirrel Trapping — Cambridge

How Long Does Professional Squirrel Trapping Take in Cambridge?

It takes as long as it takes. A squirrel does not enter a trap to a schedule, so we cannot honestly give you a fixed number of days. Here is what the stages are.

Squirrel Trapping in Cambridge — £280 fixed cost. See the Squirrel Control Cambridge page →

Stage 1: The Survey

We look at the roof space, the roofline and the routes on to the roof, identify the animal and work out whether control is warranted.

Stage 2: Setting the Traps

Traps are sited on the routes the animal is actually using. They must be legally compliant and exclude non-target animals such as cats and birds.

Stage 3: Return Visits

Traps must be checked frequently, with at least daily checks regarded as best practice, because no animal should be left in a trap. These return visits are the substantial part of the job, and they are included in the £280 fixed price.

Why It Varies

  • How quickly the animal enters a trap.
  • Whether more than one animal is present.
  • The weather and the availability of other food.
  • Whether young are in a nest, which needs extra care.

Stage 4: Confirming the Roof Space Is Clear

Once trapping has finished, we check that the roof space is empty and confirm it with you.

Stage 5: Sealing Entry Points

Only then are entry points sealed. Proofing is priced separately by time, and roof repairs belong to a roofer. Sealing earlier risks trapping an animal inside.

Squirrel trapping in Cambridge is a £280 fixed cost, with no call-out fee. See Squirrel Control Cambridge.

Common Questions

Will it be done in one visit?
Unlikely. Trapping is a programme with return visits.
Do the extra visits cost more?
No. The return visits needed to finish trapping are included in the fixed price.
What if more squirrels turn up?
Tell us. A second animal, or a different species, can change the scope, and you will be told before anything is booked.
When can I get the roof repaired?
Once the roof space is confirmed clear.
