Issues Caused By Squirrel Infestations
In the UK, there are two species of squirrels found. The native red squirrel is a small, reddish-brown colour and has pricked ears. Red squirrels play an important role in the ecology of local forests because they are well-suited to spreading the seeds of many native trees and plants. As such, red squirrels are protected by the Wildlife And Countryside Act 1981.
Unfortunately, red squirrel populations throughout the country are being decimated by invasive grey squirrels. Grey squirrels were introduced in the 1870s to populate the grounds of stately homes, but they soon took over.
Today, grey squirrels significantly outnumber red squirrels and can also cause serious damage to your property with their gnawing and scratching.
To protect red squirrels and properties throughout Aberdeen, LPPC Environmental offers fast grey squirrel control. Call us today on 08000116100 to find out more and book your site visit.
How LPPC Environmental Controls Squirrels
Grey squirrels can be particularly clever and destructive, making their own entry points into homes, loft spaces, outbuildings and garages in search of shelter and food. To control grey squirrels effectively and ensure they don’t come back, it’s important to check where they are coming from and how they are entering the property.
If the grey squirrels are using a specific tree branch to crawl onto a roof, then we can advise that this be cut back while we seal their access points. We can also check for issues such as overfilled bird feeders, which could be offering squirrels a reliable food source that means they keep coming onto your property.
Once we’ve identified where the infestation is coming from, we can carry out squirrel pest control to remove any squirrels, nesting materials, squirrel droppings and other debris from your property.
If you notice signs of squirrel activity, such as gnaw marks, loud scurrying or barrel-shaped brown droppings, contact us.

Can You Release Grey Squirrels Back Into The Environment?
Because grey squirrels are an invasive species that are not native to Scotland or the UK, it is illegal to release them, relocate them or keep them in captivity without a license. LPPC Environmental uses humane squirrel traps to ensure that they don’t endure undue suffering. As a result, we’re able to remove grey squirrels and protect native red squirrels and human residents across Aberdeen.
What Does A Squirrel Nest Look Like?
Squirrel nests are usually made from branches and twigs, with an inner layer of softer nesting materials, such as moss, loft insulation or other fabric scraps found throughout your property. Squirrels like to build nests high up, so outdoors, they usually nest in trees. Indoors, squirrel nests are usually found in roof spaces.
How Much Does Squirrel Removal Cost?
The cost of controlling squirrels on your property depends on the size of the area, the number of squirrels we’re dealing with and how many access points need sealing. With LPPC Environmental, you can get an effective management plan to deal with the squirrels and remove them fast. Our team can provide a quote for the work during your site visit.
