Squirrel Control Tower Hamlets: Safe & Professional Squirrel Removal
Squirrels may look harmless outdoors, but when they enter your property they can cause significant damage. They often nest in lofts, roof spaces, wall cavities and other quiet areas, where they chew electrical cables, insulation and timber while creating constant noise. If left untreated, a squirrel infestation can become more difficult and costly to manage.
At Hamlets Pest Control, we provide professional squirrel control in Tower Hamlets for homes, flats, offices, schools, restaurants, warehouses and other commercial properties. Our experienced technicians carry out thorough inspections, identify entry points and provide safe, effective squirrel removal solutions to help protect your property and reduce the risk of future infestations.
Whether you’ve heard scratching noises in your loft or noticed signs of squirrel activity around your roof, we’re here to help.
Quick Answer
If you suspect squirrels have entered your property, it’s important to act quickly. Squirrels can damage insulation, roof timbers and electrical wiring while creating nests inside lofts and roof spaces. Our squirrel control service includes a detailed inspection, safe removal, advice on preventing future problems and follow-up support where required.
Why Do Squirrels Enter Properties?
Squirrels usually enter buildings in search of warmth, shelter and a safe place to build their nests. Roof spaces and lofts provide ideal nesting areas, particularly during colder months or the breeding season.
Common reasons squirrels enter properties include:
- Warm, sheltered lofts
- Easy access through damaged roofs or vents
- Overhanging tree branches
- Gaps around rooflines and soffits
- Quiet nesting areas away from predators
Once inside, squirrels can quickly establish nests and begin damaging your property.
Common Signs of a Squirrel Infestation
Knowing the early warning signs can help prevent extensive property damage.
Scratching or Running Noises: You may hear scratching, running or gnawing sounds from your loft or roof, particularly during the early morning and evening.
Visible Squirrel Activity: Seeing squirrels regularly entering or leaving the same part of your roof may indicate they have built a nest inside.
Chewed Electrical Cables: Squirrels constantly gnaw to keep their teeth short, which means electrical wiring, timber and plastic pipework may become damaged.
Damaged Loft Insulation: Insulation may be torn apart and used to build nests, reducing its effectiveness.
Droppings and Nesting Materials: Twigs, leaves, insulation and squirrel droppings are common signs of nesting activity inside loft spaces.

How to Help Prevent Squirrels from Returning
Preventing squirrels from re-entering your property is just as important as removing them. Once squirrels have found a suitable nesting place, they may return if access points remain open.
Here are some practical ways to help reduce the risk of future infestations:
- Trim tree branches that provide easy access to your roof.
- Repair damaged roof tiles, soffits and fascias.
- Seal potential entry points after squirrel activity has been dealt with.
- Keep lofts and storage areas tidy where possible.
- Arrange regular roof inspections if your property has had previous squirrel problems.
- Contact a professional if you notice new signs of squirrel activity.
Taking these simple steps can help protect your property and reduce the likelihood of squirrels returning.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does squirrel removal take?
The time required depends on the size of the infestation, where the squirrels are nesting and the condition of the property. After an inspection, we’ll explain the recommended treatment plan and expected timescales.
Can I remove squirrels myself?
Attempting to deal with squirrels without the right knowledge or equipment can be difficult and may not solve the underlying problem. A professional inspection can identify nesting areas, entry points and the most appropriate course of action.
Will squirrels come back after treatment?
If entry points remain open, squirrels may return. We provide practical advice to help reduce the chances of future infestations after treatment.
