Professional Squirrel Control Services
Finding chewed materials in the loft can be frustrating, particularly when belongings have been stored there for years. Grey squirrels have strong front teeth and may gnaw cardboard, timber and other materials while exploring a roof space. Youngs Pest Control provides squirrel pest control in Clubmoor, helping homeowners investigate squirrel damage and arrange suitable professional control.
Properties around Broadway may have established gardens and roof structures that squirrels can explore while looking for shelter. A damaged roof edge or loose fitting can provide an entrance into the loft.
Some homeowners hear scratching above the ceiling, while others discover the problem when retrieving stored belongings or preparing for home improvements. Identifying the cause of the damage and checking the roof for possible entrances are important parts of dealing with unwanted squirrels.

Common Signs of Squirrels and the Damage They Cause
Squirrel activity is not always immediately visible. In many properties, the first indication is noise coming from the loft or roof space. Other signs may become apparent once the area is inspected.
Gnaw Marks on Wood and Wires
Squirrels may chew wooden structures, electrical cables, pipes, and other materials, potentially causing costly damage.
Droppings and Urine
Squirrel droppings and urine around attics, roofs, ceilings, or other areas can create unpleasant smells and hygiene concerns.
Noises in the Roof or Walls
Scratching, scampering, or gnawing sounds, especially during the day, may indicate squirrels are nesting inside the property.
Damaged Roofs and Insulation
Squirrels can damage roof materials and insulation when creating entry points or nesting areas, which may contribute to leaks and heat loss.
Nesting Materials and Damage
Shredded insulation, leaves, paper, and other materials may be found where squirrels have built nests, while stored food can also attract further activity.
Recent Squirrel Treatment Visit in Clubmoor
Gnaw Marks Found During Loft Boarding
A homeowner near Queens Drive contacted Youngs Pest Control after discovering gnaw marks on exposed roof timbers while preparing to board the loft. Several boxes stored behind the rafters had also been torn open.
During our inspection, we found squirrel droppings and signs of movement around the damaged timber. A gap near the roof edge appeared to be providing access.
We carried out a suitable squirrel control programme and advised the homeowner about the entrance that needed repairing. At our follow-up, there were no fresh signs of squirrel activity, allowing the planned loft boarding to continue after the necessary repairs.
Squirrels Damaging a Kitchen Extension
We were called to a property close to Townsend Lane after the occupants began hearing scratching above their kitchen extension. A contractor had also discovered torn insulation beneath the roof covering during planned maintenance.
Our inspection found signs of grey squirrel activity in the roof void, including droppings and disturbed insulation near the outer edge.
We arranged the necessary squirrel control work and explained which part of the roof needed attention. Following the work, the occupants reported that the scratching had stopped, and the contractor could replace the damaged insulation and complete the repairs.
Why Are Squirrels Common in Clubmoor?
Grey squirrels have incisors that continue growing throughout their lives. Gnawing is part of their natural behaviour, but it can cause problems when squirrels enter houses and start chewing building materials.
Around Utting Avenue, residential gardens and rooflines provide opportunities for squirrels to approach buildings and investigate openings.
Inside a loft, squirrels may chew wooden shelves, cardboard boxes and exposed timber. Small fragments can collect beneath damaged areas, while nearby insulation may become disturbed as the animal moves around.
Professional inspection helps establish whether squirrels are responsible and whether they are still entering the property. If important building components or electrical cables have been affected, additional checks by a suitable specialist may be necessary.
Where Do Squirrels Commonly Nest?
Grey squirrels look for sheltered, secure areas where they can rest and raise their young. Around buildings, lofts and roof spaces are particularly attractive because they provide warmth and protection from the weather.
- Lofts and roof spaces
- Eaves and roof voids
- Wall cavities where access is possible
- Outbuildings and sheds
- Mature trees close to buildings
- Dense branches and tree hollows

Our Squirrel Treatment Process
Step 1: Inspection & Assessment
We inspect the affected areas for evidence of squirrel activity. This may include droppings, nesting material, gnawing, damaged insulation, and regular entry/exit routes. We also consider where noises or sightings have been reported, as this can help narrow down the areas requiring closer investigation.
Step 2: Identifying Entry Points and Nesting Areas
The next stage is to determine how squirrels may be reaching the building. We may examine roof edges, eaves, and other vulnerable areas for evidence of access. We also look for nesting material and signs indicating which areas of the roof space are used most often.
Step 3: Apply Targeted Squirrel Control
Once we assess the squirrel activity, we can determine an appropriate control method for the property. The squirrel treatment depends on what we find during the inspection. Our priority is to address the established grey squirrel activity, not just the noise or visible signs it has created.
Step 4: Prevention Advice
Once we identify where the squirrels are active, we select a suitable treatment method based on our inspection findings. Our squirrel treatment focuses on areas used by grey squirrels, addressing the problem safely and effectively. The method used will depend on the property, the level of activity, and the circumstances found on site.
Commercial Squirrel Control
Grey squirrels can also enter commercial buildings, particularly where roof spaces, storage areas or quieter sections of a property provide suitable shelter.
Youngs Pest Control provides squirrel control for businesses, landlords and other commercial properties in Clubmoor and surrounding areas.
We can investigate reported activity, inspect accessible areas for evidence and establish an appropriate control programme. Where potential entry points are identified, we can also provide practical advice to help reduce the likelihood of squirrels gaining access again.
Addressing squirrel activity promptly can help limit damage to insulation, stored materials, wiring and other parts of the building.

Frequently Asked Questions
What time of day are squirrels most active?
Grey squirrels are generally active during daylight hours, with activity often noticeable during the morning and at other periods throughout the day.
Can squirrels damage my loft?
Yes. Squirrels can disturb insulation, damage stored materials and gnaw timber, plastic and other materials found within roof spaces.
How are squirrels getting into my roof?
They may exploit vulnerable areas around roof edges, eaves, or other openings. Trees, fences, garages, extensions, and adjoining structures can help them reach roof level.
Should I block the squirrel's entry hole?
Not while squirrels may still be inside. Blocking an active entry point can trap an animal within the building and potentially result in further damage as it attempts to escape.
How do you get rid of squirrels?
We assess the activity and use an appropriate control method based on the property and findings.
How long does squirrel control take?
This depends on the level of activity, access points and conditions at the property.
Why do squirrels keep returning?
Accessible entry points, suitable shelter and nearby trees can make a property attractive to squirrels.
How do I know if I have squirrels in my loft?
Common signs include scratching or scampering noises, droppings, disturbed insulation, nesting material and gnaw damage. You may also notice squirrels repeatedly travelling onto or around the roof.
How Weather Affects Squirrel In Clubmoor
Seasonal changes often push squirrels closer to homes. Cold weather encourages nesting in lofts or attics for warmth, while spring and summer increase activity as they forage and breed. Recognizing how climate shifts impact squirrels helps ensure timely trapping before they cause structural or electrical damage.
