£280 for suitable problems. Before booking, make sure it is actually a squirrel — rats and mice make loft noises too, and they cost less.
£280 for suitable squirrel problems, including activity in loft and roof spaces.
Worth establishing first: noise in a loft does not confirm a squirrel. Rats and mice produce noises in roof spaces too, and rodent treatment is £190 flat or £240 house.
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Squirrel trapping | £280 |
| Rat treatment – flat / house | £190 / £240 |
| Mouse treatment – flat / house | £190 / £240 |
| Pest proofing (up to one hour) | £180 |
A larger animal, in a harder-to-reach space, requiring trapping rather than treatment, and legally more constrained than rodent work. Which is also why identifying the animal properly before booking matters — there is £40 to £90 between these.
Read nextNoises in the Roof in Harrow – Squirrel, Rat or Mouse? →Worth stating plainly, because it constrains what anybody can lawfully offer.
The grey squirrel is a non-native invasive species in Britain. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 it is an offence to release a grey squirrel back into the wild or to allow one to escape — which means humane relocation is not lawful. Anyone offering to catch and release your squirrel elsewhere is offering something they should not.
We will not soften that to make the service more comfortable to buy. If it changes how you feel about proceeding, that is a legitimate response and better arrived at now.
Red squirrels are protected and treated entirely differently — they are not present in this part of the country.

View Squirrel Control Harrow →None of that improves with time, and a squirrel that has found a warm dry loft has no reason to leave.
We do not offer garden squirrel control and would decline the work. A squirrel raiding a bird feeder or digging in a lawn is a nuisance rather than a pest problem, and removing one simply makes space for another from the surrounding area.
Squirrel-proof feeders work, cost less than a treatment, and are a one-off.
A squirrel in a rented property is a repair issue as much as a pest one, given the cable and structural risk. The published £280 means it can be authorised without a quotation stage — but budget for the roofing work too, or you will be paying for the trapping again.
Not while an animal is inside. A trapped squirrel does serious damage trying to get out, and a sealed loft with young in it creates a worse problem.
Not reliably. A warm dry roof space is better than anything outdoors.
Birds in a roof space are usually higher-pitched and more constant, often with calls. Nesting birds have legal protections.

Cable gnawing is a recognised fire risk, and they also damage pipes, insulation and timber.
