When Is Squirrel Nesting Season in Cambridge?
Grey squirrels generally breed twice a year, so a loft can be used for nesting at more than one time. Here is what that means for you.

When Squirrels Breed
Grey squirrels typically have two breeding periods in a year, one in late winter to spring and another in summer. Young are born in a nest, which may be a drey in a tree or, where there is access, a warm, dry roof space.
Exact timing varies from year to year, so treat it as a general pattern, not a calendar.
Why Lofts Attract Them
- They are warm, dry and sheltered.
- Insulation is soft and easy to tear into a nest.
- A loft is quiet and away from predators.
Signs of Nesting
- Shredded insulation gathered into one spot.
- Squeaking or chattering sounds, especially from young.
- A squirrel going in and out regularly, carrying material.
Why Timing Matters
If young are in the loft, the situation needs care. Removing an adult while young are present raises welfare concerns, so a professional should check for a nest and plan accordingly. Do not block the entry point yourself, because it can trap animals inside.
Is It Different From Other Animals?
Nesting noises can also be birds in spring and bats in summer, and bats are legally protected. Identification comes before action.
What to Do
If you think squirrels are nesting, note what you see and hear and call for a survey. Squirrel trapping in Cambridge is a £280 fixed cost. See Squirrel Control Cambridge, or call 01223 902388.
Common Questions
Can squirrels nest in winter?
They can use a loft at any time of year, but breeding peaks in particular seasons.
Will they leave on their own?
Sometimes, but they often return, and damage continues while they are there.
Is it harder to deal with nesting squirrels?
It needs more care, because young may be present.
Can I scare them off?
Noise and deterrents rarely work for long, and they can push animals deeper into the roof.
