Squirrels may look harmless, but when they enter loft spaces and roofs they can cause significant structural damage and disruption. In the UK, grey squirrels are the most common pest species found in domestic and commercial properties.
At Vector Pest Control, we provide fast, discreet and effective squirrel control services across North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, East Yorkshire, Manchester and surrounding areas. Whether squirrels are already inside your property or attempting to gain entry, we deliver safe and effective solutions to resolve the problem quickly.
Why Squirrel Problems Should Be Dealt With Quickly
Once inside a roof or loft space, squirrels can become highly destructive in a short space of time. They are persistent animals that will chew and burrow to create nesting areas.
Common issues caused by squirrels include:
- Chewing electrical cables, increasing fire risk
- Damaging insulation and stored belongings
- Tearing loft timbers and roofing materials
- Creating persistent noise disturbance (especially early morning)
- Gaining repeated access once entry points are established
The longer squirrels remain in a property, the more damage they can cause; so early intervention is essential.
Our Squirrel Control Approach
We take a structured, humane and effective approach to resolving squirrel infestations and preventing re-entry.

We use proven, legal methods to resolve the infestation in line with UK wildlife legislation.
03

Prevention Advice
We provide clear guidance to reduce future risks, including habitat and structural improvements where needed.
At Vector Pest Control, every squirrel issue is treated with a tailored approach designed to fully resolve the problem and protect your property long term.
Domestic Squirrel Control
Squirrels in the home can quickly become a serious problem, particularly in loft spaces where they cause noise, damage, and contamination risks. We provide discreet and effective squirrel removal for houses, bungalows, flats with loft access, garages, and roof spaces. Our aim is to safely remove the issue and secure your property to prevent future entry.
Commercial Squirrel Control
Squirrel infestations can affect commercial buildings, particularly those with roof voids or older structures. We work with warehousing and logistics facilities, offices, retail premises, and industrial units, offering practical, effective solutions tailored to your site, whether for a one-off issue or ongoing pest management.
How to Identify Squirrel Problems and Prevent Future Infestations
Squirrels are most active during daylight hours, particularly early morning and late afternoon. Because of this, they are often heard before they are seen.
Common signs include:
Loud scurrying or scratching in the loft or roof
Repeated running sounds during the day
Chewed wood, cables or pipework
Nesting materials in loft insulation
Entry holes around roof tiles, fascia or soffits
How to Prevent Squirrel Problems
Prevention is key when it comes to squirrels, especially in lofted properties.
We help identify risks such as:
- Gaps in roof tiles and fascia boards
- Unsealed vents and pipe entries
- Overhanging trees close to rooflines
- Weak or damaged soffits and eaves
By securing these areas, the likelihood of re-entry is significantly reduced.
