Squirrels can quickly become a real nuisance when they are nesting in your home. The most common place they are found inside a property is in a roof space or behind fascia boards.

Squirrels can gain access through a breach in the roof or under the eaves of the property. Even a small hole can be exploited by the squirrel.

Once inside they cause damage to the insulation and have a habit of chewing on electrical cables, this can become a fire hazard.
