What Are the Signs of a Squirrel Infestation in Cambridge Homes?
Squirrels leave a recognisable pattern. These are the signs that point to them, and the ones that suggest something else.

Noises in the Loft
- Heavy, confident movement, often in daylight, especially early morning and late afternoon. Squirrels are day-active, unlike rats and mice.
- Rolling or dragging sounds, which can be squirrels moving food they have stored.
- Loud gnawing on timber, on a scale larger than a rodent would make.
Evidence You Can See
- Torn or compressed insulation, or a nest of shredded material.
- Gnawed timber, pipes or cable.
- Droppings, which are larger than mouse droppings.
- Stored food such as nuts, or shell fragments.
- Damage at the roofline, such as a chewed soffit, fascia or lifted tile.
- Squirrels seen on the roof, gutters or nearby trees at the same time.
Signs That Point Elsewhere
Scratching in the small hours and quiet by day points towards rats or mice. Fluttering at dusk can mean bats, which are legally protected. Scrabbling and calls in spring near the eaves may be nesting birds.
Because several of those are protected, identification matters before anything is done.
Why It Needs Dealing With
Squirrels can chew cable and timber, and they tear up insulation to nest. A noise that comes and goes is worth checking before it becomes damage. Our article on squirrel damage to roofs and wiring explains the risks.
When to Arrange an Inspection
If you have heard daytime movement in the loft, seen torn insulation or noticed damage at the roofline, get it looked at. We survey the roof space, confirm what is there and tell you whether control is warranted at all.
Squirrel trapping in Cambridge is a £280 fixed cost. Call 01223 902388.
Common Questions
Can squirrels be in the loft in winter?
Yes. A loft is warm and dry, and squirrels can use it at any time of year.
Are squirrel droppings dangerous?
Droppings should be handled with care. Wear gloves and a mask, or leave it to a professional.
Are the noises definitely squirrels?
Not always. Identification is the first step, because some alternatives are protected.
What should I do first?
Note when and where you hear it, and call us for a survey.
