We get regular calls about squirrels from Harlow and the surrounding area, which covers a large Essex new town built from the late 1940s onwards, with distinct residential neighbourhoods, tower blocks, low-rise estates and extensive green space. It's tempting to reach for a shop-bought spray or trap first, and that's fine as a first step, but it usually only treats what's visible rather than the underlying problem.
What Actually Works
It's tempting to reach for a shop-bought spray or trap first, and that's fine as a first step, but it usually only treats what's visible rather than the underlying problem.
Our squirrel-control service helps deal with the immediate problem and identify potential access points that may require proofing.
Signs to Look Out For
Once inside, they can damage insulation, stored possessions, timber and electrical wiring.
In Harlow specifically, we'd also encourage you to think about the age and construction of your property — older buildings with original brickwork and timber tend to offer more potential access points than newer, tightly-built homes.
