The Dangers of Squirrels in Your Loft – Why You Need to Act Quickly in Kent
Having squirrels in your loft may seem harmless at first, but they can cause serious damage to your home. From gnawed wires to health hazards, these uninvited guests bring more than just noise. If you’re in Kent and suspect squirrel activity, acting fast is critical.
At Pest Control Kent 24, we offer humane squirrel control in Kent for just £280. Our team is fully equipped to trap and remove squirrels safely, helping you avoid further damage or risk.
Why Squirrels in the Loft Are a Serious Problem
- Electrical fires: Squirrels frequently chew through wiring, putting your home at risk of fire.
- Structural damage: They gnaw through beams, joists, and insulation to create nesting areas.
- Contamination: Squirrel droppings and urine carry bacteria and can cause unpleasant odours.
- Noisy disturbances: Daylight activity includes loud scratching, running, and chattering in the loft.
- Breeding nests: One squirrel can turn into a family if left unchecked, doubling the damage.
- Infestations attract other pests: An unsealed entry point may invite birds, rats, or insects.
