Squirrel Control FAQs

Why Are There Squirrels In Your Attic?

Squirrels will enter a property in search of food and shelter. Often, if there is an overhanging tree branch near your roof, they will use this as a way to crawl across and get inside, either through an existing access point such as a hole in your brickwork or broken fascia boards or by creating their own with their sharp teeth. Squirrels like to be high up, so once they’re inside, they will make their home in your loft space, which provides them with plenty of nesting materials and easy access to any dried food in the house.


Can You Release Grey Squirrels Back Into The Wild?

Because they are an invasive species, it is illegal to release grey squirrels back into the wild or to keep them in captivity without a license in the UK. Arrow Pest Management can carry out humane squirrel pest control that ensures that the grey squirrels occupying your space are eliminated quickly and don’t suffer.


Will Squirrels Leave On Their Own?

Once they have entered your roof space, squirrels are unlikely to leave on their own, especially if they can find somewhere safe and quiet to build their nests, such as your attic. If they can find adequate food sources, squirrels will remain and breed, meaning what started as one or two squirrels will quickly become a full squirrel problem.
