Squirrel Control in Duxford
Something is in the loft. Before anybody treats anything, it is worth being sure what — because one of the possibilities must not be disturbed at all.
Signs You May Need Squirrel Trapping in Duxford
- Heavy, confident movement overhead, loudest during daylight hours
- Gnawing at the roofline — soffits, fascia boards, vents or barge boards
- Insulation torn up, compacted or dragged into a heap
- Damaged or stripped electrical cable in the roof space
- Droppings and staining in the loft, or a contaminated water tank
- Squirrels seen using a branch, fence or drainpipe to reach the roof
Not sure what you are dealing with? A
pest inspection and survey is
£120 fixed cost and identifies the pest, the extent and the access
points before you commit to a treatment.
Is It Actually a Squirrel?
Loft noises get misattributed more than almost anything else we are called about. The differences are real and they are readable.
| What you notice | Points to |
|---|---|
| Heavy, confident movement; thumps and rolling sounds; loud in daylight | Squirrel |
| Lighter scurrying, mostly after dark, along a consistent route | Rat |
| Fast, light scratching, higher up, quieter | Mouse |
| Scratching and fluttering near the eaves in spring, with birds seen entering | Nesting birds |
| Faint scrabbling or squeaking at dusk, droppings that crumble to dust | Possibly bats — stop and take advice |
The two most useful tells
- Time of day. Squirrels are active in daylight and go quiet at night. Rats and mice are the other way round, and that single observation separates them more reliably than anything else
- Weight. A squirrel sounds like an animal you could pick up. Rodent noise is lighter and faster
And the one that stops the job. All bat species are legally protected. If there is any suggestion of bats, nothing is treated, nothing is blocked and no work happens in that roof space until it has been properly advised on. We will tell you that rather than proceed, and we would rather lose the booking than get it wrong.
If you cannot tell what you have, a pest inspection and survey is £120 fixed cost and identifies it before you commit to anything. Squirrel work is £280 fixed cost.

Why Duxford Property Owners Call a Professional
Acting on an assumption about a loft noise is the one DIY mistake with a legal edge to it. Treating or blocking on a guess can mean interfering with a protected species, which is a different order of problem from a wasted afternoon.

Where Are Squirrels Getting Into the Roof of My Duxford Home?
Not every squirrel comes in at the eaves. The roof covering itself has several weak points, and they are the ones that get missed.
